What Fish Have You Been After For So Long

[§tudz]

yeah we have loadsa khulii loaches here. I've never seen the black versions

BN are 10 a penny, well not in price lol, here every where has them.

Tropical n brackish puffers are rare here though I have seen them.

Pretty much everything else I wanted I have been able to get.
Except my snakehead, as they have been having trouble ordering them, so I am now using that tank for my new plec and soon for my cory fry yay!!

There are hundreds of tiger coloured stripy Khuli Loaches around here.... strange that they seem so common here but so rare in other areas!

I would like some nice zebra plecos but i dont think I would be able to afford the 3 or 4 necessary for them to enjoy themselves!

well send me some dammit!

I've just been amazed at how hard it is to find them. Our best LFS in the area (which is very well known around the area and has set up exhibits at zoos etc..) said they can't even get their hands on them.

A black dogface puffer... I found one but I don't have a big enough set up to keep it... One day I am setting up a really big salt water system to keep one of these guys, with a golden moray, maybe a zebra moray, a trigger, and some kind of grouper. I like the bumblebees and some of the Red Sea species...

my problem isn't searching for fish- it's finding fish that I never even knew I wanted until I saw them. And then the fear of never seeing one again.

This is my most recent 'find'....

not that particular one mind you. But my lfs has one identical to that and I have,have, have to have him. I will stock my 100 gallon reef around him- I adore him that much.

[QuotheRaven]

Wow! These are VERY common around here. I've seen tanks just crawling with them.

I spent weeks searching for my Neolamprologus multifasciatus. I ended up finding a hobyist on-line and drove nearly 100 miles to get them.

My current search is for Pencilfish. Can't seem to find them anywhere. I'd really like to find some Nanostomus espei.
