Just had a look on tropical fish finder and they have some gachua in stock in Maidenhead Aquatics Cambridge dont know how much for though but worth a trip. Im going to go to swallow aquatics soon and see if they an order any in they always have good quality fish.

:drool: That is a yummy list Nelly, if I get hooked on your babies (yeah we both know that will happen) I already have my eye on dwarf fire and ice. :lol:
 
thanks nelly! I also have my eye on fire and ice! But i really want a pair of golden cobra snakeheads! Bigger tank is needed! I can get some juvie plueros as well! Really tempted but my tanks not really big enough so it wouldn't be fair or practical! But would look great! If only the mrs understood me and my obsession! She thinks sh's are ugly! To me thats part of the appeal! Lol. Maybe with time and a new camcorder for her!
 
Thanks nelly. How big do the dwarf fire and ice get? they look amazing but from what ive read i think they will get to big. If not then i think ill g for the assams. I went to my lfs today and they said if i comeback nearer the time they will order some in but there not sure on price yet. But i would prefer to get them from a breeder if the prices ok so i know they should be a good quality.
 
One more question. What type of tank set up do they like? atm thers loads of wood And im going to try and get some taller twigs and floating plants to provide cover nearer the surface. And will a fluval 3 plus be good enough filtration? It does 700lph well it says it does but its probably less.
 
Thanks for the links :good: . given me a good idears for what the tank needs to look like. Some of your are amazing. But the pic of all the babies has got me thinking maybe it would be best to stick to 1 because if they breed im not sure if i would be able to get rid of all the fry. Do you still have any ornatipinnis fry for sale?
 
Dont worry about it
Ill take a look now.

They look nice :good: . Ill have to see if they still have any in a few weeks because i still need to set up a tank for the apisto and sell/give away the other fish before i can evan think about getting any.
 
Few more questions. Will duck weed work as a floating plant? because i know it spreads fast and i just read they like dim lit tanks so that would help block alot of light.
And whats best to feed as the main part of the diet or is it just little bits of everything?
