If any one reads this and has some for sale/swap PM me woohoo Surinamensis you won't find in Australia,Brasiliensis shouldn't be to hard to find as they are usually about in good numbers(well they are on the Gold Coast and Brisbane anyway). As for my wish list, well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJordan Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Reganochromis calliurus, nice shape http://www.duboisi.com/forum/ndp/images/re..._calliurus.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poxboy Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Ctenochromis horei Chromidotilapia guntheri loennbergii And I don't think anyone on the planet could resist a few L046 Hypancistrus zebra if they more accesible . One day......Maybe...... . Bretto BTW, It's not always just a pipe dream. Untill recently I could only dream about keeping Cyathopharynx furcifer “Cape Kabogo”, Lamprologus meleagris and Lamprologus speciosus, but now, thanks to ACE and it's members, I have all three .

andrew8710 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'd love to get my hands on a few Stetocranus tinanti, a few more C.virginalis gold for my colony without paying a ridiculous amount for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWs Fish Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Some hard fish to get hmmmm...... Puntius denisonii - CITES Betta macrostoma - CITES Pterophyllum altum "Rio Orinoco" - Just hard to get Microraspora sp. "galaxy" - was thought to be almost extinct until more populations were found. Hypancistrus zebra - CITES? Retsricted/No harvesting at least. Hypancistrus sp. "L250" - only 8 officially exported ever and the river they come from is so poluted they are probably extinct Check them out, they are all beautiful fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Betta macrostoma - CITES I believe Betta macrostoma are being breed in Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle34 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 ones that look like this http://www.versaquatics.com/images/cacat.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWs Fish Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Those cacatoides are the wild caught variety. Anyone which has a quaratine room or any store which has quarantine can get them in, as they are allowed to be imported into OZ. You should may about $90 absolute max for a wildcaught adult pair. I know slippery little suckers had a shipment of them not so long ago. HTH Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
