    Looking for a small school (5-6) to act as dithers for my new apisto tank. Anyone know which LFS has stock currently, or have any recommendations for other suitable dithers? =) Preferable LFS location is in the central/west district

    Won't there be a possibility that they could end up as snacks for apistos? Milage may vary though.

    keeping a pair of juveniles so they're pretty safe i think =) i have pencilfish as dithers in my other apisto tank...but they don't really seem to be surface dwellers as i was told, so was looking out for other better dithers and was recommended boraras

    just got back from c328...they indeed have B. brigittae, but having never seen them before i was shocked at their size haha =) the length was as i expected, but it was so skinny! are they supposed to look like ikan bilis, or will they fill out in time?

    skinny shaped as in streamlined like say danios or the smaller neon/cardinal tetras? if that's the way they're proportioned it's ok...i was just abit disturbed to see them look like toothpicks literally...i could hardly even make out the patterns on their body

    biotope closed from 12-7? thank goodness i got my brigittae from polyart then! thio told me they'd open at 2 and the stock should arrive by 3

    they don't seem to be top level schoolers like they have been described as though haha...they're staying near the bottom and individually...bought 8 pieces do i need 10-12?

    nys i'll pm you prices

    edit: oops you can't take pms yet haha...quickly chalk up a couple more posts so i can pm you
