Very Cool Oddballs At Wildwoods

[nmonks]

Folks,

For those itching for some new fish, I got a very interesting e-mail from Wildwoods this morning. They have some very nice freshwater and brackish stuff coming on sale soon. Specifically:

Toxotes microlepis
Toxotes chatareus

Datniodes undecimradiatus
Datniodes campbelli

Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus
Hemirhamphodon kapuasensis
Nomorhamphus liemi
Zenarchopterus buffonis

Ambassis agrammus

For those into halfbeaks, the 22 cm, freshwater to marine Zenarchopterus buffonis will be a real find. Sort of like a needlefish, but smaller, and not predatory at all. Nervous, so best kept in a species tank. Hemirhamphodon kapuasensis is a gorgeously coloured little (5 cm) species with bright red stripes on the flanks. Hemirhamphodon are very rarely traded, so to get two species is quite something.

Toxotes microlepis is a true freshwater archer, though it will do fine in low-end brackish, and Ambassis agrammus is a very cute little fresh or low-end brackish glassfish with an extra-tall dorsal fin.

These fish are still in quarantine, so give Wildwoods a ring before making the trip.

Anyway, I thought I'd share the news with TFF.

Cheers,

Neale

I was talking to keith at wildwoods the other day they do get some good fish in but the prices are a bit high

the dat cambelli are going to be on sale for £90-£120 wholsale tropicals got their batch last week and they were £75 for the same size fish from the same wholsaler

i took 2 from wholsale tropicals the day they came in and they are taking dead food already

be very carfull with cambelli as they are very prone to white spot when they are 1st shipped and also carry alot of parasites

Cambelli are a great fish and for me are the best kind of tiger fish their is but they are very hard to get looking nice and gold and in some ways are harder than discus to get stable

Nice... I'm pretty bummed that they can get all this stuff in when you just get the rubbish species or blank looks if you ask elsewhere... They had blue-black saddled parasitic catfish a few months back, but all I can get are the rubbish non-parasitic ones...

Nice halfbeaks though
