Gah, I Should Have Left Well Enough Alone

[pica_nuttalli]

for starters: i've been wanting Red Head Geophagus Tapajos for the last forever--and this guy's only a 3 hour drive away from me right next to the nearest "cool" city. can we say weekend uptown and free shipping? if only i wouldn't have to completely redo my tank (and if i had the money to splurge).

oh, and by the way? the dude also has Geophagus altifrons for sale. (cichlid-fourm's got a profile for those with a picture firmly establishing them as Most Beautiful Fish Ever)

moving right along, i'm tempted to go into the fish-shipping business myself... someone out there (caution, disco music) is willing to pay $100 for 3 hillstreams and a couple of decent crypts...

the guy selling the hilstreams also has some nice mossballs and stems for sale; not going to argue that point. however, this guy in germany has the best prices--and the shipping!! sooo tempting.

and finally, the biggest shiny of them all: the instant rainbowfish aquarium--just add nitrogen cycle!


.....i so shouldn't have gone shopping today

Only if i had room in one of my tanks for those fish or atleast the first two. That disco music i pretty catchy. Those are some pretty cool hillstream loaches. I guess i will just have to get another tank( if i'm not forbidin)

You can pick up hill stream loachs for a couple of pounds at one of my lfs B) .

I've been tempted to specially order particular livebearers in the past for a fair amount of money, but i have always found them again at some point for only a couple of pounds in some lfs- they are still worth the money i would have paid for them in the past but not many people know much about livebearers when it comes down to it so many pure breds go for pennys in shops that could actually go for 10's of dollars on ebay.

GAAAAAHHHH!!!! my LFS has MORGUNDA GOBIES for $18 each!!! i'm going to have to do the research to see if i can't get me one!


(bad, bad day for window-shopping)

--EDIT--
looks like i had a near miss; after a quick look around online, i am forced to conclude that i was wrongwrongwrong about those gobies! not morgurnda gobies but dormitar maculatus--a 27" inch perfect predator! that'd have been tragic...

they don't have common names because they aren't common fish. their scientific names are their common names.

oh.. oops ) i feel silly!!
well they are lovely.. and when i can figure out how to pronounce thier names, and get another tank.. maybe i'll look into getting some!!
