Aya Caramba! Good on yer mate! Now I know why the wad is no longer as loadsa as it was :wink:

Emma, Harold got the pink Eels in......but they were pink Eels! Not P. doriae, despite them carrying the same supplier code that your's were.

Actually, he got two species. One is weeny and very similar to small P. anguillaris or doriae, but definitely an eel, and the others are around 6" long or so and like mini Morays and quite pink. Both species bury themselves in the sand.

Harold found good latin names on them too.

Now supposedly, your common Singapore supplier is expanding and going to be importing Vietnamese fish, which could be rather interesting eh?

Thank you for your patience whilst we tried to locate all those Pangios, Graeme!!! :lol: Not the easiest of tasks!!! :lol: Think we did good in the end though. :D

Martin - that's a shame about the P. doriae. Sounds like the supplier might have stitched Harold up a bit there. Hopefully they are not species that get too massive. :? Interesting about the Vietnamese fish - have to wait and see if they have anything different to offer.... :wink:

No problem. That's a interesting point there Emma. I've noticed that the females often than most like to bury themselves more. While we where searching, we found a 'few' gravid ones within the substrate. Warming the 'roe' :idea:

Interesting.
