Saw four S. pridii for sale earlier today.

Is someone still trying to 'rescue' as many of these as possible for a breeding programme ?

Should I reserve them for later collection.

The shop is north of London, I live in Herts. Could someone collect them or meet me to do a relay ? I don't have a tank I can put them in temporarily.

Regards

I don't suppose that was in Wildwoods, was it? They've been there quite a long time. I've been tempted many times but just don't have an appropriate set-up for them. Well...a hillstream tank but they should really be in a species-only tank.

I have mine in my river tank with Gastro's and Homaloptera Dave and they are fine, I dont know if it is down to the level of cover or the bigger fish with them but they are out and about a lot

Oh god, don't say things like that to me!!!!

Sounds like you were meant for each other Dave. Go Get 'em!
