Glaser is not cheap. They get great species but the cost to get fish from them sent over here is not so easy to hamdle. I know because I have fish from them but not which I brought on myself. Glaser is from where my L173b came years ago.
The luizae is a very pretty fish. I have the Inpaichthys kerri. I wish I had been given the option to get the luizae instead.
From seriouslyfish:
I guess Inpaichthys is no longer monotypic.

Inpaichthys parauapiranga which implies it wasn't monotypic for a while. There is also a Inpaichthys nambiquara
Right. SeriouslyFish often does not have the most recent taxonomy. There are at least 4 species in the genus now.

A lot of their information is dated. I think many of the numbers they provide on some species are from original reports rather than later findings.
Yea - i don't really blame them for being out of date - given the rapid changes. Still one of those Inpaichthys looked pretty nice - the one with blue and red stripes on a white body. Hum. I found some tanked raised ones but not wc ones (for some reason tank raised fishes don't do well in my environment so i've been going towards wc exclusively - maybe i need to do a longer acclimation given the extreme acidity of aquariums).
Agreed. There's still plenty of worthy info to be found there.

Before he died, Byron was working on updating information on the Seriouslyfish site. He and I used to correspond and I remember at some point pointing out a small bit of information on the Seriously site one H. zebra which was not correct.
Before social media fissh forums were the go to place for hobbyists. Most of them folded as they lost members to social media. I also knew Byron from other sites besides this one. Here and Monsterfishkeepers are two of the very few that still hang on and have decent activity, AquariaCentral has been fading big time in the last few years.
Seriouslyfish lost a great and rare asset when Byron was lost to all of us. The time and costs of maintaining a forum which is run by unpaid volunteers and the loss of income and volunteers has caused the loss of many good sites. Most forums only get income from ads and donations and those require their be a decent number of active members.
I am amazed that Seriously has lasted this long. I doubt they have much income and also lack people to do the work and experience it takes to keep the information up to date. During my earlier years in the hobby I was asked to be a moderater on a few forums with chatrooms. I always felt my knowledge of fish was too limited to be a forum mod. However I did moderate a few chat active chatrooms on a few forum sites and in the AquaBid chat where I was the very first Mod. I think I am still listed as one on zebrapleco.com but the site is all but dead. Jools owns it wand what killed zebrapleco.com was partly Planetcatfish which he also owns and which had the same and even better info on the species..

A couple of years ago, I thought about getting involved with Seriously Fish as it's a solid foundation. But I was never able to find a human lead to do so. It's there. It's good. But it appears to be a closed shop.
At this point, I've gotten lazy and lost optimism for online sites - they have to be funded and vanish very easily. AI will mine them and discard them.
In another thread, there was a comment about the shortcomings of the AKA's killifish of West Africa site, which was a British aquarist's one man labour of love. It's a magnificent thing, but he moved on to other interests and it slowly shows its age. I once rejoined the AKA only because they maintained this British site, and it's still the best resource they make public.
There was a similar east European site that's no longer online as the author/photographer died suddenly and his family chose not to pay for the webpage. The internet sheds like my dog.

I see aquatic arts has them...I. parauapiranga. I suspect those are the tank raised ones you found. Pretty.
It was wetspot where i saw them and they are 1/2 the price as aquaticarts. Also i will never order from aquaticarts again (used them once about 6 years ago - they weren't awful but i had expected better).
