haha, take a bit of cash with you then Chris he has some nice sized striata, dario, and kubotai as well as some of them humungous modesta's.

I am really tempted by those Modesta.. for the size and the price they are gorgeous.. .

It's gonna be Wednesday before I get across the border so I'll have to see what is there and catches my eye..

I may wait until those Spendida come in if there are any not yet spoken for.

I know that some splendida are spoken for Chris

i still reckon there will be enough for all anyway. Mark have you ordered any mate?

mick

I have indeed Mick

I have finally convinced the wife to let me have her 20 gallon Platy tank just for the splendida

Arrived all safe and well
They look good to go Saturday .
Some other nice bits to if anyone is interested please pm me

See you Saturday Neil

Love my Skunks but those are beautiful!! Wonder what their temperment is like ? any information about their needs would be great. The brat Pack(skunks) had to have a tank of their own.

there will be a few people on LOL that will be getting them within the next few days, but to find out the behavior of them it will take a month or so, as we can only guess how they will be at the moment.
i'm only getting 2 but they will be going in with some caudipuncata and will see how things go.
the Duff man is getting at least 6 and they will be going in a tank on their own so Mark can monitor their behavior better.

a mate asked did i want to go to Pier aquatics earlier today, so how could i refuse going to my mates shop And to get my first look at the splendida's.
they are out of this world people, after only seeing pics of them the real thing had me mesmerised in front of their tank, the largest was touching3 inches SL going down to 2 1/2 inch body all bloody 40 of them.
there was a few fish in that took my eye as well but not having a Grrr tank it would have been silly to get them S helodes around 8 inches SL and another variation of histrionica, he also had all three of the Sewelia in plus a few species of Gastro's, it was like being in paradise looking at them all.
Neil the lousy bugger would'nt let me have any of the splendida until tomorrow but it ain't long to wait to get the net on them.

Hey Mick , Its only fair to give everybody a chance
I said Saturday AM to all to keep anyone (Like you)

Doors open at 10am ish .. You can fight then

It will really be interesting to see how they settle in.
Anyone interested indoing a kind of journal on them ?
