    Hi everyone, just wanna know if anyone here keeps these guys. Interested in getting a pair or two, but can't seem to find them nowadays. Would be grateful if anyone has seen them (or has lobang )

    Thanks all!
    Cheers,
    Bernard

    Used to keep 8 alfredi, but had to feed them tubifex, quite troublesome (and very high risk of disease), whereas boon is even more troublesome than tubi. So i sold them away in the end. If you hand feed them regularly, after a few months they will not be shy, but they still need a lot of hiding places. They also prefer very low pH like 4-5.

    I know of someone breeding alfredi and nagyi currently. He is kinda good with bubblenesters i would say.
    Will ask him if he is willing to release some.
