    The agassizii is super huge. I guessed about 70mm SL. No kidding.

    Seen juvenile Dicrossus filamentosus too. About 8 pieces.

    I left at 4:30pm, so here are some updates.

    Didn't see the following, so someone could have gotten them.
    A. borelli "opal"
    D. filamentosus

    Additional updates:
    A. eunotus
    A. viejita

    Interesting fishes other than Apistogramma spp.:
    Mikrogeophagus ramirez
    Ctenops nobilis
    Tateurndina ocellicauda
    Melanotaenia parkinsoni (nice yellows, very underrated fish, right side of shop, bottom tiers)
    Parotocinclus jumbo (LDA25)
    Anentome helena

    Betta ideii
    B. macrostoma
    B. pallifina

    Striped Hypancistrus spp. (very young, didn't observe long enough to ID)
    Peckoltia spp.
    L200

    And... some kind of Botia which, to my untrained eyes, have rather suspicious body shapes. Anyone? What Botia spp. is this? I do hope it's not a creation of man...

    Hmm... right side, near the Arowanas? Didn't notice them, but I could be wrong, as I was more or less concentrating at the Hypancistrus spp.

    Let's see if anyone else can confirm this.

    yeah,..the "opal" was sold this afternoon. but the rest, most of them were already there for about a week now
    If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, so be it!

    acctually the tanks beside the shrimp section also have another pair of opal.. but not as nice as the other one at the betta rack..
    the black chin was a beautiful pair as well.

    I was surprised too that the betta rack Opal was left behind...started feeding already.

    How in the world did I miss the Hypancistrus?!!! Can you describe further?

    There is a beautiful "red pineapple" L25, TL 8".

    There is also a new batch of 2cm fry of key hole cichlid. Gentle, graceful and beautiful community fish for a dollar.

    The checkerboards were infront of the betta rack, where the low grade crs are. Also along this row spots chocolate gouramis. Yeah the opal looks good. The shimmering yellow and blue caught my attention.

    Also saw some Pelvichromis Pulcher.

    agassizii were huge!!! But I thought the head shape looks odd. Told uncle they were 2 males and he seemed surprised.

    Are they Pulchers? when they came in in the small bags, Nigerian Reds was written on them.

    borellis and candidis were gone as of 10pm. only the black chins caught my eye, the viejietas and hongsloi were very dark and hiding in the corner. the cacatuoides triple red male was not too bad

    zenislev, the quality oh the hongsloi to me wasn't really good though... but they might just be in stress..
    too bad i didn't spot any viejita and checkerboards..

    anyway, anyone on which day do c328 stock their apisto? my tank should be fully cycled soon and im starting "hunting" for apisto now..
    or do c328 come in whenever they ran out of stock?
    thanks.

    Tempted by the Black chins but,..... it like there for ages! I didn't think too much of the medenzi. Stock comes in from mid week onwards after 3pm.
