Did someone say 'confuzona'?
These beautiful Homaloptera confuzona came in on Tuesday night, and after a few days now appear to be settling in well:

Oh my!!! Those are beauties!! Wait until they get the "Emma" treatment and start fattening up. Its probably good they weren't there when Martin was or he might have tried to smuggle some home in his luggage.
BY the way, Emma, I've been meaning to ask you, what species of hillstreams do you have or generally have in stock?

Thanks!
I have many species of Nemacheilus and Schistura in too, but again, once they are gone, I won't be able to import that many of them again. So sad . Then there's Aborichthys elongatus which are also a river species.
Oh and also that one time I got those beautiful Annamia species in from Vietnam, but I think that was a bit of a one off.

I'm always able to get hold of Beaufortia kweichowensis (but they come in under the name B. leveretti) and since the Sewellia lineolata have become available I tend to make sure I always have these in. I did have P. cheni and P. changtingensis but I think the new restrictions will stop me from getting any more of these. I've had Homaloptera smithi in on a few occasions (think I may still have some of these in stock) and also Homaloptera zollingeri a couple of times. The last time they came in under the name Homaloptera stephensoni, but I'm sure they were zollingeri's (Graeme took a few of those). I used to also order in assorted Gastromyzons/Pseudogastromyzons from Indonesia, which always turned up a few nice oddities, but I don't think I'm allowed to import those now, which is a real shame. Another recent addition was the spotted Sewellias. So I think that probably covers the 'sucker belly' type.Jim Powers wrote:BY the way, Emma, I've been meaning to ask you, what species of hillstreams do you have or generally have in stock?

Here's the article from the PFK website: http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/p ... p?news=958
Further down the article, there is a list of affected species.

Emma, from looking at that article, you will probably still be able to get cheni (often thought to be, and may actually be, myersi) and fasciatus (a synonym for changtingensis)
Graeme: My thoughts on zollingeri are that if you see them, they are probably dead. The one I have hides almost constantly during the day. He does seem to come out at night after lights out.

Definitely need some of Nurse Emma's intensive care treatment. A bit skinny, but that's how they usually appear.
I would get a few Graeme as I think they're better in groups. Mucho aeration required and all the current you've got. They'll relish it.
I've had orthogoniata and ONCE they settle, they're long-lived, but these fish aren't easy to acclimate to aquaria.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
