So no interest in any of the West African fish?

I'll order a few things but WAY less then I was planning on bringing in. Thgere are just to many cool fish I can't pass on!

 

[wethumbs]

Did you get the Myaka myaka?

 

[aquaticclarity]

I have not placed the order yet. I'm looking at receiving the fish early next week. My fish club has an auction this Sunday that I'll be taking a lot of odds and ends fish to so I can open up tank space.

[Ekona]

Jeff, I take it no A. gephyra this time?
If not, I'm interested in some E. infrafasciatus.
Thanks,
Dave

 

[aquaticclarity]

That's the Brazil import order. The above fish are a domestic order (still wild caught fish though). So I won't know what fish I'm getting on the Brazil order until Monday night when I open the boxes.

Here's the Brazil Order (subject to fill and subs of course):
Apistogramma cf. agassizii Tefe
Apistogramma caetei Marajo
Apistogramma caetei Caete
Apistogramma gephyra Red Demini
Hyphessobrycon stegemanni
Panaque / Panaqolus sp. L002 Tiger Pleco
Parancistrus aurantiacus Chubby Pleco
Hypancistrus sp. L260 Queen Arabesque

Just got home with the bags and opened the boxes...everything looks pretty good and the fill rate was excellant for once. (The one time I could use a bad fill rate because of tank space!)

Everything listed above came in except:

Trochilocharax ornatus
Neolabias powelli


I few things came in in lower numbers though so one or two thiungs are sold out already and a few others will go fast!

There are a lot of cool and really nice fish that came in but among the real stand outs for me are:

Epiplatys infrafasciatus baroi "Bindou Red" (I'll post pictures in the next few days-these guys are big and colorfull. And I only have a few pair for sale)
Hyphessobrycon heterorhabdus
Hemichromis fasciatus "Lake Volta" (Nearly 2 1/2" and just starting to come out of juvinal markings!!!)

 

[vncnt]

Pics and price for these: Crenicichla cf. regani "Iniridae" (pairs)

Thanks

 

[aquaticclarity]

$50/pr on the cf. regani. I'll work on pics but it might be a day or two before I can make the time, sorry!
