Lovely! Would be very interested in the X. pygmaeus but unfortunately too far away from you. Just out of curiosity; is this a hybrid or the wild strain?

 

[dwarfgourami]

Wild strain (parents from Dave McAllister's collection); I have the bag somewhere. Not the yellow variant but the ordinary blueish.

Well, I wouldn't call that ordinary . Lovely fish!

 

[dwarfgourami]

They are lovely little things and certainly seem to be thriving.

Just bumping this for myself as they do need to go- if not here, it will have to be the shops.

They are lovely little fish: the heterandrias (and I could run to more pairs) just right for a nano tank, the limias a good alternative to danios or swordtails- lively and entertaining but totally non-agressive, the pygmies gentle and good for a quiet community tank (though not with other xiphophorus species). And I'd be happy to negotiate (=forget about) the price if they are going to a good home.
