    I got mine from Seaview. large quantities at low prices, and i found that they are in rather good health too. the only downside is that they are sold small, so you'll have to wait a couple of weeks in your tank before they grow to a decent size.

    To clarify, as this is a thread spliced from another, I am looking specifically for Hemigrammus bleheri as described in the thread below. Prefer wild caught fishes if possible. (dont mind paying 20 cents extra :P)

    i think the ones at seaview are bleheri, based on what i see in my tanks, but i may be wrong. they're definitely not wild caught though, and i'm not so sure wild caught tetras only command a 20 cents premium over these bred ones

    well rummynose are so called water indicator to discus keeper. the redness on their nose gone or fading means time for WC. they are very sensitive to water parameter. so to see their red nose please keep your tank in tip top condition.
