OK-I have been searching for a Red Chaitika compressiceps and they seem VERY hard to find! I have two gold heads, but wasn't aware that there were darker ones out there, and I am IN LOVE WITH THEM! Anyone out there seem them often at their LFS? Just curious as to whether or not they are popular....

I haven't...is that mail order? I have yet to do that, and some friends of mine and I were actually discussing it! Oh I just LOVE compressiceps....especially the one I DON'T have (but isn't that always the way) ??? It's how we keeping buying and buying and buying.....they suck us in! I need these comp.'s though, they will complete my tank!

Yeah, it's mail order. Tons of sellers from around the world. Just make sure the seller is located in your country and then check their feedback ( number next to their name) and make sure they don't have a discouraging amount of negatives. 90%+ positives is a quality seller

my lfs has chaiakita golds compressiceps about 5 or so full grown male and female for 49.99 and calvus golds for 15.00

smae as the orange chaitika i think

Yes I have two golds, I like them...but just REALLY love the way the red look (more like a dark brown)~! They would be SO different from any other fish in the tank. They are just rather hard to come by, and I want them young~not full grown. I check out AquaBid, there was an adult pair on there, I will have to keep checking it!

If you'd like to take a stab....look up Daytona Aquarium. Yes, I live in Daytona Beach He carry's the reds, copper banded, gold face, reg. golds, white calv., black calv, etc. I've got 3 gold face comp. and 2 wh. calvus and will be picking up some copper banded. The only place I know of I'd trust.

I will check it out, thanks for the tip!
