That sucks. Even for shipping? I believe it said that online orders can disregard the bold text meaning it's in stock

Yeah, I think I can order online. Gotta think about this.
Heven't checked but what about nannostromus eques. In a hurry so spalling may be incorrect
You spelled “spelling” incorrectlyHeven't checked but what about nannostromus eques. In a hurry so spalling may be incorrect

I wish you guys would use lay people names. What the heck is that? LolHeven't checked but what about nannostromus eques. In a hurry so spalling may be incorrect

It depends on the fish. If there is similar fish I will usually a scientific name. And if there are several common names for one fish or one name that can refer to several fish.
Almost got the spelling right

Rasboras like to swim mid to upper level of tanks.
Catching up on a couple things since I was last here...
First, the hatchetfish Thorachocarax stellatus do not need 80F plus temperatures. Range is 23-30C/73-86F. I kept my group around 76F for several years. This species will be wild caught so availability will be when the collection season is allowed. Countries in South America do have laws concerning collection of ornamental fishes so the species will not be pushed to the brink of extinction. So The Wet Spot will likely get this hatchetfish in during specific times, they may be able to tell you when as the collection season follows the wet season after fish have spawned and there are hundreds of thousands of fry.
Another temperature item, this time Corydoras species...no cory should be kept at or above 80F on a permanent basis. They can tolerate higher temperatures during summer heat waves, and if needed for treating ich or similar, but they should never be kept permanently at that high a temperature. The species frequently suggested for discus tanks like Corydoras sterbai or C. duplicareus shouldnot be housed with these fish for this reason. So says Ian Fuller, and that is it for me. My wild caught cories representing some 12-15 species are always kept around 24.5-25C/75-77F and never higher (permanently).
Next issue, names. Please use the scientific name unless it is very obvious. Most of us around the world recognize neon tetra, but many species have "common" names that are known to and used by local populations and are more "Greek" to the rest of the hobby than the scientific name which often is Greek (the genus anyway; species epithet is usually Latin). For example, Nannostomus eques common name used by seangee was hockey stick--this name in NA refers to the species Thayeria obliqua which is also commonly called Penguin Tetra. And I first learned of the N. eques pencilfish under the name Diptail Pencilfish. And today in stores it is called Rocket Tetra. Scientific names are not confusing, they are specific to one species. Over on Corydoras World, Ian Fuller will delete any post using common names because he says that on a global site it is too confusing, and scientific names are easy to master.
