I picked up 8 of these stunning Y. nigrolineata yesterday, they are probably the best nirolineata I have ever seen and I had intended to only pick up 4 but after bagging 6 I spotted another two that I wanted so ended up with the 8 :D

Yeah a little bit of a spree but that will be it now until all my tanks are sorted around September time, who knows I may be able to fit another spree in towards the end of the year if I am lucky :D

Its been years since I have seen nigrolineata.
As soon as sids became more readily available, its seems nigrolineata disappeared.
