i did my usual trip to pier aquatics today as i knew he'd had a shipment in last night.
he has two fish rare in the UK so i could'nt leave them all there, so i brought a few fish home with me.HA i bet neil loves me going cos i'm always skint when i come out of the shop.
here's two of the species i brought home the first pic is Shistura alticrista and the second two pics are Shistura maepiensis which are bloody gorgeous.

cheers
mick
btw i also got histrionica's, emperor's, A rubidipinnis,Garra salweenica, big Garra flavatra, and a few more but forgot what i bought now.
will post pics of the others when i upload them of the stick.

the exporter my mate uses is no other than Ud.... can't pronounce his name but you'll know him as Kamphol, if he says they are i'm of the opinion that he knows a hell of alot more than i do.
plus Nonn pic of the maepiensis is identical to some i got the others vary in their pattern ive already PM'd graeme to say i bought all of them as i don't think they've been exported before, Emma could say wether she's had them or have been on her lists.

I've not seen these on my lists, but I should have some new Schistura sp coming in next week (will post more about that if they turn up

).

Emma the alticrista's were'nt cheap in fact for what they are i'd say bloody expensive the other shistura was very cheap imo.as are the rubidipinnis.
