My loot of Characins from a new Bangkok fish shop

[hwchoy]

They have not coloured up properly yet, and some damaged fins due to the travel, but a quick look at three characins I got from a new Bangkok fish shop.

The rare third species of bleed heart tetra Hyphessobrycon pyrrhonotus, when coloured up the dorsal flank is pink/red coloured. Had to threaten bodily harm to the shopkeeper just to get one specimen





Pyrrhulina vittata




and some peruvian tetra

[benny]

Wow! Most of them travelled pretty well, except for the last one which shows a bit of fin burn. I thought Pyrrhulina vittata was previously available here?

Pity about the other one you lost through Ranmasatome though...

Cheers,

[hwchoy]

not sure but the previous Pyrrhulina I got from Biotope was P. brevis complex.

that Peruvian tetra coloured a bit today…

Is it me or does the dorsal flank not looking as pink/red coloured? I thought it looks a little pale, not coloured up? If not, a coloured up picture pretty please?

[hwchoy]

hey you never read "when coloured up" ?

[ranmasatome]

Choy.. that peruvian tetra is a fine specimen.

[hwchoy]

the alpha male is a real stunner! but the caudal fin is missing. hoping it grows back
