I was at first delighted and then saddened to see that Wildwoods has 25 Schistura pridii in stock, available on mail-order. Much as I'd love to keep these gorgeous fish, I just don't have the right set-up for them. Is anyone still keeping these for breeding purposes? Just a heads-up for anyone who might want to get these and give Wildwoods a telling off for importing them in the first place.

And look whose picture they're using!

I have already asked TFF to remove this picture, but so far nothing has happened.

They have permission to use some of my other photographs, but certainly not this one!

Have you had any luck breeding these yet, Emma?

Sadly no, but am still trying.

I'm just planning my new fish house at the moment (have cleared out a room at the back of the house that was just full of junk) and have drawn out the layout and think I have the filtration worked out. Will be getting the tanks and stands made within the next month or so. Might then try moving a pair from my species-only river tank to see if I can trigger them in another set up. My 26 x S. pridii are all in excellent condition and there are obvious chunky females and more slender males, but so far no spawning to report....but I won't give up!
