item (3) sounds like Horadundia atukorali, looks like this one or not (could be more green at the shop)?
fish (2) does it look like this? if so then Microrasbora gatesi.

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

lol, the maculatas I bought today are schooling with the kubotai.
Cheers,

Think those shrimps with metallic dots are called "Pearls".(at least that's what mermaid called them). Seem in a few LFS before. I have yet to see the ones in Ben, but from the description, it is probably what I think it is.
I got some "zebra" from someone who got it from Bens...don't look very zebra to me. (no offense to the guy I bought from, it was not at ex anyway)
Think he is quite creative with naming his shrimps..
not "pearl", assuming "pearl" to be the one which looks exactly like feeder ghost shrimp with white spots and blotches.
I think he referring to this one:

I don't think that is the pearl shirmp. If I am not wrong, the pearl shimrps have pincers
A point to note, these pearl shirmps are aggressive.

I mean the shrimp I am posting is NOT pearl shrimp. in fact the tentative ID for this shrimp is Palaemon concinnus.

Yes CS has the Horadandia in stock, including a Microrasbora which I think is M. kubotai.
Ranma, there's Pseudomugil signifer and the other is Telmatherina ladigesi (Celebes Rainbowfish). No other Pseudomugil in the shop, I cleared out the remaining Pseudomugil gertrudae a few weeks back.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
apart from the shrimp, darn sharp photo! i like this one. awesome!not "pearl", assuming "pearl" to be the one which looks exactly like feeder ghost shrimp with white spots and blotches.
I think he referring to this one:
What da fish!
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Stormhawk...
That other one is Telmatherina ladigesi?? it looks so different in the shop!!! prob cos most of the fins are torn... i would have gotten some if i knew actually..but i guess theres always next time... so pm me when he getting anoter shipment of hastatus le...
Also...is Horadundia atukorali just recently named?? i cant find any info on it.. any one has???
that's because it is called Horadandia
