I think AA also have them .

Oops... sorry, typo. Its Aquatic Avenue that has them (not Aquatic Chamber, wrong name typo).Originally Posted by Urban Aquaria
Plan to give up my running nose ! Keep disturb my fire red shrimp, i think they are more aggressive than neon tetra and swim really fast man ! Having a hard time catching them.
Yeah, they are super fast swimmers, you'll basically need 2 nets to catch them (one to herd and corral, one to trap)... then allocate an hour or more to chase after them.
Sounds like you might have gotten particularly aggressive rummy nose tetras (maybe the alpha male or female developed a taste for shrimps so the rest also follow)... the platinum ones i got have been quite well-behaved so far, haven't seen them disturb my shrimps, they even ignored the small shrimplets too. I guess it just depends on luck.
The best way to catch them is after lights off. Black out for an hour and then net them out, if possible using lights from the room (not the tank lights). They will be asleep and should be easier to net.
saw a tankful of them at GC clementi...
any shops selling it in the east area? Thanks.
saw them at Green Chapter Clementi, maybe the main shop also have?
Just sharing a interesting thing that my running nose tetra tail was been bitten half off by my angelfish. After one month later, the tail really grew back. Haha, quite surprise.
any new stocks of platinum rummy nose spotted? went to OTF yesterday and only saw 5 there - i need more than that.
Last i saw a week ago, Green Chapter Clementi branch has a tank of platinum rummy nose tetras, can check there.
green chapter is sure expensive...
UA, besides the price, how do you tell the difference between the standard rummy nose and platinum ones? The lightnings used in the LFS are sometimes deceiving.
Anybody saw some LFS selling it on the east side? Thanks.

You can tell their difference quite easily... both in dim or bright light conditions, the platinum versions have a very distinct shine on the scales at the top of their body.
I guess once you observe the normal and platinum ones before (especially if the LFS has both versions in tanks side-by-side), it'll be very easy to tell the difference.
Does anyone knows what's the maximum length that the fish can grow to? Will it get as big as the normal rummy nose? Will be very nice to see it reach around 5cm...
Yes, they do. I have a few of the platinum rummy nose tetras in my tanks which have grown to around 5cm length too.
Great. Can't wait for them to mature...the nose will glow like a ruby!��
My advise is to get some good size one. I started with 6 small ones and only 2 grew huge although they ate the same food and all are eating well. Now they are almost 3x difference in size.
