Hi guys,

I am sure you are tired of Inka now. Perhaps some mendezi love from June edition of Aqualife 2011

Hi barmby, So far i have not seen Rio Aiwana in LFS or LFF... Are this breed from japan ?

These are very nice red coloured mendezis!!! Really something as compared to those yellow mendezis.

Hi Barmby,

I thought you were tempted into apisto..

Fake alarm..

But nice specimen there.

Nice red mendenzi there... But can only enjoy through books... Hard to get a pair over into Singapore...

I have no idea. I think Rio is a place bah. Seriously, most likely they came from Germany. No surprise..

I kept Apistos lah. But they destroy the whole ecosystem. They ate all the shrimps which help to clean up the tank (uneaten food)

The reds make the mendezi even more stunning.
