No choice but to just leave it there already. By the way the order list for wc tanga from NKS is out and there are brevis and occelatus in the list.
I might be going down to QH this friday, shall see what they have. His brevis spawn quite a few previously. Just adopted a sunspot brevis from a friendly hobbyist yesterday. Letting the pair settle down and see if they do pair up and share the same shell. So far the male is rejecting the female though.
I'm going into full tanga but starting small first. I will need to upgrade my 3ft tank to something bigger if I really want to keep other tanga. That's why you see I'm clearing my other assorted fishes in the marketplace.
Yup i saw the list but what's the difference between the normal occelatus and this Variant? Size wise it's seems to be smaller so maybe juvenile?
Anyway this fellow,his brevis is better than the LFS or his price is lower? If my similis is not working out,thinking of switching to either a pair of brevis or occelatus.
That's the thing. To start full tanga,need a very big tank so space is really a concern.
Beats me too. Size wise yes maybe juveniles though. This fellow hobbyist is a nice guy and his fishes are nice. Getting fishes from a fellow hobbyist feels safer to me as I know the fishes are well taken care of. For occelatus, just take note of their aggression, they are really really fierce to their own species, other species and also human so be prepared to lose the weaker ones. I have lost 3 thus far, the most dominant one just basically wack everything in his sight was thrown to the 3ft com tank. The other 2 somehow have paired up but still not certain. Aggression level is low and they are both living well in their tank.
I do not know how difficult to get a bonded pair of brevis, may need to get a few and let them pair up themself. NKS preorder list might be a good start to get some wc brevis for a start.
Other than a very big tank, still need many other smaller tanks for other purposes like breeding which is the most rewarding event that can happen in my pursue of this hobby
Hey guys, was talking to a lfs boss, is it ok to divulge here? Anyway he is able to help bring in tangas from Taiwan if you guys want. At least 5 - 10 per species. Will help to check the prices. I'm eyeing the meleagaris

That's nice but how's the pricing like? Not sure if can get people to join in. I myself can't confirm unless i get a big tank. Space constrain is a big issue for most of us.
For shellis the price range between 10 plus to 20 plus. The usual price.

i am keen for the order for mutlies. looking at around 6 - 8 of them
Let me know if you have consolidated enough orders.
As shellies are majority bottom dwellers, longer tanks would be a better choice compared to deeper tanks. Thou not popular, i am using Gex Glassetior for my shellies and apistos.
If you have a bigger space, can probably consider the 600 series. But this is in consideration if you are keeping a species only tank.
Great. Now we have orders for Multis and meleagaris. Once I confirm with the boss should take 1 wee arrive. Keep you guys updated

Some updates on my brevis.
With the additional of the escargot shells and alternate feeding of frozen bloodworms/ brineshrimp, it seems like the pair breeded. They have turned extremely cautious and aggressive. The female has been guarding her shell ferociously and the male have been patroling the outer region keeping the other male away. She even chase her supposingly spouse off her shell at times, something that never happened before.
Lets see in the coming weeks if there are good news.
That's a piece of really good news! Hope to see your update of fries soon
Good news bro,do update us with photos.
No brevis pictures yet but heres some apisto fries for some insipration. Fries are 3 days old and free swimming, probably 20 odds of them now.

brichardi
leptosoma cyprichromis

Neolamprologus tetracanthus

Qian Hu no more shellies. I bought 5 pcs of enantiopus melanogenys. 2 Jumped through my cover hole and died.
