Where to find various Nannostomus?

**Zenislev** · 15th Dec 2007, 23:15

Hi peeps, im currently looking for any species of Nannostomus aka pencilfishes. Anyone knows which aquarium sells them? Or rather which aquarium carries the most species of Nannostomus? Best is if it sells Nannostomus mortenthaleri.

FYI

C328 has at least 3 species last week, including the coral red pencil fish you are looking for. Can check it out.

Cheers,

last i saw, c328 has a couple of pieces of them left. it brings them in quite regularly so if you keep checking in, you'll eventually be able to get yourself a bunch

Wow, didnt know c328 brings them in on a regular basis. Thought its juz a once in awhile kinda thing. Anyway, thx bros.

Dropped by C328 today and was totally caught off guard!!!

Didnt know that coral red pencil fish are so expensive man. Juz a small little fish is going by $15 per piece, menn.....ended up i didnt get any.

**illumnae** · 19th Dec 2007, 23:11

yeah i saw a betta tank full 2 days back but forgot to post

i was just thinking about this thread when u saw them but totally forgot when i got back

**Zenislev** · 19th Dec 2007, 23:38

Haha. Actually was thinking of getting afew coral red pencils, didnt do enough reseach abt their price though. Guess i'll have to get other species of pencil fishes instead of coral red. Just now at C328 they only have coral red....no kinds other dwarf pencil fishes sad to say. Now still looking around for more...

if you want, i can pass you mine. But you will have to catch them yourself in my 422

**illumnae** · 20th Dec 2007, 02:01

Golden pencilfish are very cheap and easily available at LFS like Polyart, Seaview and Wu Hu. This batch at Wu Hu have white spot though (i was there yesterday). Dwarf pencilfish come in once in a long while, but i think they're out of season now.

Yeah, i saw some golden pencils at tampines k&k too. Same thing, they're also suffering from fungus.

Hmmm...guess pencil fishes are hard to find these days huh. Oh btw, where is Seaview and Wu Hu?

**illumnae** · 20th Dec 2007, 10:13

You can check them out in the forum's LFS directory =)

Seaview is at Jalan Kayu and Wu Hu opposite Tiong Bahru market

Yes

if you do come across the espei pencil in our lfs, the price will knock you offyour feet.

Oh!

So do you know roughly whats the price for various pencil fish species? Guess i seriously gotta do a market research before shopping.

**koel9** · 20th Dec 2007, 13:52

Past sightings: dwarf and 3-line $3 - $4, coral and purple red $13 -$15, espei $25 -$28.

Great. I do hope C328 will restock on dwarf and 3-line pencils soon, decided i gonna get myself afew pieces of both. And maybe a pair of male and female coral reds. Wonder can C328 take special orders. Hmm...

**illumnae** · 21st Dec 2007, 01:30

dwarf pencils have been unavailable for months already...i've been keeping an eye out for my friend who has been wanting some as dither fish for his apistos for almost half a year already...thank God for a very generous bro who passed me his dwarf pencils for a token!
