Hi, saw some at Biotope but they are not for sale....I thought anything is for sale?

Anyone knows which LFS or farm is selling this beautiful fish?
Thanks!

They were quite commonly a few months ago.. dont know about now.. dont seems to see them much. Quite a sensitive fish.. thus a lot of losses fro fish shops that wanna bring them in... my population of 50++ now drop until 25... but these are going strong..

Good luck in your search.

Yeah they die as soon as water turn slightly bad.
Are you willing to give up some? Or anyone out there?

what fish are you talking about?, please give the scientific name as fish that are labeled by the shops can be very misleading.
thanks mick

Mick..
I think hes talking about Axelrodia riesei..as pictured below from RVA website.
They were pretty common here a while back.. but due to fragility in shipment and acclimatisation very little shops bring them in now..
