BadBlueWS6 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Just wondering, I had one for years. I've been unable to locate one. No shop seems to know what I am talking about. Their huge eyes are incredible. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hi, There are leaf fish available at a store in Perth. Sell for about $80.00 I think and are about 7cm. I agree, they are beautiful. :rolleyes: merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hi BlueThings must be scarce if you are in Florida and can't find anyI would have thought C.ansorgii or C.acutirostre would be available Especially seeing C.acutirostre are out here ATM L2H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBlueWS6 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 Nope, they aren't around or they just aren't carried in the shops I've been to. Seems volume is the key with the super pet stores....little shops are far and few. They can't really compete. I've looked for Synodontis, only found some Eupterus and Lace cats...no mutipuntatus. That's going to be a hard find. As for the Africans I see, most are easily raised in FL by fish farmers. Well, thanks for the info. I'd like to get one but if I can't, well I had mine for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadBlueWS6 Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Thanks alot for that link I will keep it. As for shipping a fish for $59 from TX to FL....I gotta think about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi BluUnfortunately unless you pad the order out with a number of fish the air freight charges are something that make you rethink how much you really want themKnow any one that could add to the order ?Check Google searching for African fish Ctenopoma you might find a reference to a forum board or seller local to you L2H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Just in case some locals are interested in leaf fish after seeing this post and wondering if they are available in Oz. They are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I purchased one recently (within the last 6 months) and have since been trying to make a tank specially for them. This aquarist aquariums how long ago did they have them? (as you can tell first post, so first time reading forums too). They are one of the best fish. Apparently they are illegal to import and that is why there are so few. Also apparently not many people actually like them to begin with (or more to the point know of them, or recognise them in shops) so they arent a common import. But they are awesome fish, they have so much personality. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
