Hoplarchus Psittacus

[chrisrm]

could anyone tell me where i might find this fish and what sort of price i should be looking at?

I have seen some on Aquarist Classifieds at 4-6" for £30 just waiting for some photos and to see if postage is an option.

Is that the group for sale in essex? also has an Aequidens diadema for £15, they are a good price at £30, I was after one local to me but it went for £50!!! I would love one and the diadema but its just too far to go.

Hows that jurupari doing btw?

The only place Ive seen one is wildwoods (tropical fish finder uk) and it was about £75! So if you can get one for £30 and its a true one, then go for it.

That is the group in Essex yeah.

The Jurupari looks a lot better its more lively when i go near it, but is still doing the same thing, i dont know if thats because its in the small hospital tank or not though?

Go for the parrot at that price
See if you can get a deal on 2 and send me one (kidding)

Romsey World of water has a large true parrot (about 9" ish) for £50. They do mail order.

THey've had it for a while so might even be open to offers.

As I said .... Romsey World of Water, Romsey, Hants. THey have actually separated slightly from the other world of water branches in their management structure so are not found on the main WorldofWater website. THeir separate website is still under development. Their phone number is 01794 515 923

Awww well I know a place here in the Usa Were I got mine from. It was $30 + $14 for shipping. It's wild caught Too. Here in the US they can range $30-$100 more if it's of breeding size.

How big is your tank? How big of a tank are you willing to have? These guys get big 12"-14" but they are slow to mature. A 100gal is the smallest tank you could keep them in. I need to up grade my 100gal in a year or so or sell some .
