I found that. There is one N not two as your spelling but that shouldnt make a difference i also found another site, not in english with a different picture fish but same name.. If you would like that let me know.. Post the aqua bid link please.

they're pretty cute and not badly priced. but if they're as mean as kribs, i'll have to pass.

Thats What i found.. I dont know their temprament.. The fish arent badly priced but shipping will kill you in the end. Do you find it better to order online?? I have a question i dont know if you can help me. Aquabid shipping is killer and im looking for some melanochromis Auratus Albino.. I have found the on aquabid and aquariumfish.net.. Do you know anywhere cheaper?

 

[pica_nuttalli]

i dunno... i always suggest asking your LFS to special order as the cheapest route. all the places i know to purchase fish from are essentially as cheap or cheaper than aquabid. maybe http/www.azgardens.com/fish_snails.php ? i've heard they're a good supplier, but when i was pricing pygmy cories, they weren't that much cheaper than just aquabid.

--EDIT--
thanks for the help on the "little transvestites". i've decided that they'd be too rough for my tank, but i might check them out again the next time i swap things around. i love little stripey fish!

Yeah, The shipping is the killer.. I mean i find the fish to be about the same price as the fish i would find at the pet store.. Some larger fish i find to be a better deal then going to the store and paying sometimes up to 40 dollars for a large cichlid. The shipping ive seen as much as 70.00. I find Ebay isnt bad although there isnt much variety, Although its a lot cheaper..

 

[pica_nuttalli]

yeah, but ebay is scary...

haha, Whats so scary about ebay.. I love it..
