    Check at places like Green Chapter and Aquatic Avenue, last week i still saw them in stock at those LFS.

    Even C328 also stock them quite regularly now (but they tend to be sold out quickly there).

    I got my Rummynose last week from Green Chapter. They have restocked them recently. Also Aquatic Avenue has it, but not so many left. You'd better check with them via Facebook Message to see if it is available.

    It seems rummynose are a hot-selling item, since hobbyists usually buy them in big schools, thus depleting stocks rapidly as soon as they are restocked. Because of this, profit potential is understandably rather promising. Thus it is worth to breed this fish as a staple supply.

    Yeah, when i first got the platinum variants last year, i did consider setting up a dedicated tank to breed them, as i initially thought they were rare. But then shortly after that they started to be imported regularly and get stocked in many LFS, so no more incentive to go through all the extra effort to breed them. Seems the overseas fish breeding farms are already mass producing the selectively-bred platinum variants in large quantities.

    I guess due to their relatively low prices, for most people its easier to just buy them from LFS, since most shops are stocking them quite regularly nowadays.

    Yup, as in any lucrative market, competition (big farms) can fierce.

    Re: any sighting of platinum rummy nose

    Some of my Platinum Rummynose do not have very red head like other. Is this because they are still small? Do you guys have any tips to make them more colourful?

    Is it just not as red as other fish or is it almost faded?

    Rummynose are supposedly very good indicator fish in an aquarium. Their red noses tend to fade in colour and intensity as water conditions deteriorate and is a sure sign that WC is needed as they favour pristine water conditions.

    Thanks for your advice! I notice their red nose becomes more noticeable after a week or more in the tank. And especially after frozen live food treat.

    that's what the friendly AA folks told me too. Another good way to check water quality. Also I think once they stabilise the red will be more evident. Nowadays think quite common to get these fishes. AA restocks quite regularly...told the entire 30 pieces from them when they arrived in May. Also saw quite a lot at OTF this past weekend.
