Gan is also selling red pencil. Gan is selling at 1 for $20 , 2 for $30 ,or 4 for $50
Gan left with 1/4 tank of Red Pencils. He mentioned if next shipment not coming in, there might not be anymore until next year.
for those toying the idea of Red pencils, don't think - just buy. Its worth the shot. These pencils are relatively big in size compared to other normal pencils sold in lfs.

Was at Gan's today. Don't really know his total quantity of his shipment but it appears he has quite a few more red coral pencils.
Any idea whats the diet of these pencil fishes? The same as the 3 bar type? eating hair algae?
gerald, abt the same as any other pencil fishes...
Gan told me he has a new shipment of another kinda, purplish red pencil coming in

Simon, replied to you liao...
I was at GAN few days back and the red pencil is in fact from Peru. According to him, the red fish is the male and those that are not so red are female. So far, I have not heard of anyone successfully breed them.
those red pencil I got from Gan was super red, after it settled down... I got 4 for $50
seen them pecking on the leaves, eating algae? all of mine is red, especially when they flaring at each other.. and they do not school together, rather terriorial
Hi simon, wat do u feed them? I m feeding them Tetra min flakes, izzit sufficient? Mine also pecking at algae growing on my tank wall. It bite quite hard against the glass, scared it might hav a swollen mouth or loose some teeth later. KEKE![] But funny,it dont eat the beard algae but the greeny slime algae.
Drop by 328 today. FYI, Red Pencil boh liao!
seems like bloodworm isnt known to them, during feeding.. the bloodworm sunk infront and they didnt notice.. but after awhile, they started pecking on it
I thought they are aglea eater??
Mayb yr bloodworm is too big izzit! haha. What abt other dried food?
could be, saw them taking flakes
anyway, got some blur pix of them.. quite badly taken... but shld be able to see the colour... they turn intense red when flaring
dunno y instantlogic keeps enlarging the image
thankyou for all your interests.
The red pencil takes dried bits, frozen BW and brine shrimps. Once conditioned properly they are actually quite hardy- but sensitive to nitrate, so take care of your water.
As for coming shipment, we are preparing ourselves for the arrival of other species- so it might be Nov/ December when you see this fish in our farm again (including the purple ones)
