Otopharynx sp. 'auromarginatus goldhead'

Recommended Posts

Otopharynx sp. 'auromarginatus margrette' was being kept and bred here at one stage and NSWCS was doing some work with trying to ensure that they weren't lost from the hobby. I haven't heard of Otopharynx sp. 'auromarginatus goldhead' being here though anything is possible.

I breed the "margrette",,, I've sent a lot of them to Sydney to.

It's a shame that shops don't push to support these, as they are a stand out for something different to the rest.

I myself have never seen the gold head about in Oz.

Yep Definetely that Monday I said which was two shipments ago, so a fair white ago now.

You have to be faster than that,,, you likely missed out.

If you make a request with the shop I'll send some in his next order,,, he will naturally ask me and purchase of my list.

I've got a group of 4cm fish, as soon as he asks me I'll hold them. :)

Obviously the O.marg wasn't requested, because the recent order I shipped which was today, did not have these species chosen.

I'm pretty sure this shop ships to people to.

I have a massive minimum order purchase, and live very far from airport. I just keep things easy and simple.

Grown adults of these are very well a standout for difference.

Bright sky powder blue.

nice big eyes with big flank blotches.

Grow fairly big and chunky to.

Development of fry in mothers mouth have a timespan half way between a average Malawi and frontosa,,, time Wise in development.

About 20 days.

These fish keep the substrate tidy and clean to.

I had these about 1.5 years ago, got them from perth. I would post on the perth cichlid society classified add, definately worth keep awesome fish and very peaceful.

Actually, if you got these from Robert, then they came from me.

I don't deal with him anymore for various reasons.

A bloke called Jason was breeding these to,,, he sold his colony long time ago and apparently havnt bred since.

hmm, that's weird.

Can't remember mate, Its a commercial operation rather than a back yard breeder setup.

Not much was ordered polystigma, ngara flametail, fire fish, rostratus, t.nigraventer of the top of my head.

This order was mainly stingray pups.
