I bought all the fish from April at Pets Beautiful in Vancouver - she's fantastic to deal with and prices are great, AND she ships!!! I had been trying to get my LFS to bring in striatas for about 6 months, and April got these beautiful fish for me. They are large and healthy and very photogenic - they come up to the front whenever I'm there! Here are some photos:
The Pangios in that tank are doing fine now after an initial loss of several. They are hard to take pictures off though, but I managed to get one
There's also a school of 7 black neons, four sae's and two Otos in the tank (I had only ordered 4 sae's, but April sent 10 plus three Oto's because she felt the sae's were small (plus I got three cardinal tetras as well).
After levamisole and quarantine, I have added 7 new Botia kubotia to my other tank, along with four of the sae's and one Oto, 7 Pangio kuhli and 5 small Corydoras sterbai to join the two large ones I have there.
They are sharing with my four clowns - the tank is too small for them, but they are small still so I have to solve that later. These are the small ones
and here is a picture of the larger one (same as on my avatar)
The older kubos are doing well. Here's a picture of one of them who likes to hang out in a crevice in a root - it looks strange but it's really just fine.
Anyway, that's enough for now, I guess. Enjoy.
