Looking For The Following Odd Fish

[RipSlider]

Hello,

I'm looking for some fish that I can't find on Trimar and have never seen at any local LFS's.


Would anyone be able to tell me if the following are being sold locally to them in th UK, or they know how to source them?

Motoro stingrays
Blue Loach ( Also referred to as orange finned loach ) This is the fish I'm most interested in!!
Whip tailed cat fish
Pygmy cory's
fresh water clams
fresh water crabs
Unusual varieties of Panchax
Whales ( Not the big ones, they're like elephant noses without the nose )

Many thanks indeed


Steve

Nothing uncommon in your list although some are seasonal.
How many tanks are you running?

As already said, none are particularly unusual, just more you won't find the run of the mill lfs donig them. Motoros are the most common rays, but you'd probably have to order one, although I think Tropical Imports has a few in. For the rest, it's just a matter of finding a shop that sells them, but the loach should be pretty easy to find online. Trimar has 'BOTIA YELLOW TAIL', which I found were likely to be something similar to the modesta.

EDIT- By 'fresh water crabs', if you mean red claw crabs, they're actually brackish.

my lfs's sell most of your list the they have the:
Motoro stingrays
Blue Loach
Whip tailed cat fish
Pygmy cory's
fresh water crabs
Unusual varieties of Panchax (well they have some sorts)

only things i never actualy seen in my lfs on your list are the whales.

Try Wholesale Tropicals in London - they ship/post fish and have everything on your list. If not all the time, at least every few weeks.
