    Both appeared at CS sometime ago. There's still an intermedia at the shop but its in the display tank. ID is tentative though because I was at the shop about a week ago and I think I saw it in the tank. There was 2 collettii in the display tank but someone bought those.

    However, if you want some stylo and rare tetras, there's a small number of Bathyaethiops breuseghemi at CS too. Common name - African Moon Tetra. Medium sized and very nicely coloured.

    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.

    Ranma, I kinda find the collettii more appealing though.

    Uncle got his M. intermedia? a long time back. I'm not sure if his supplier would still have it in stock. My suggestion is that you print out that image of the intermedia from RVA and give him the scientific name. That would make it easier for him since most of the time he relies on pictures rather than just scientific names.

    Roloffi won't be coming in at all. The importer didn't reply to the email I sent. Oh well, there's always the collettii for you.

    keep the bottle only 1/3 filled, the sloshing will oxygenate the water.
