Les kindly gave gave me 3 of his lovely young P. Cheni to add to my existing group (these pics don't do them justice)

Emma gave me 10 of her baby Sewellia Lineolata which seem to be right at home along with the P. Cheni

I would like to thank everyone for making it a great day :D

You have quite a nice collection of Rasboras. That Botia Almorhae is going to be very nice once it settles in.

More very high quality fish Ive seen that have come from Emma and Steves store. Looks like everyone had a good day :D

Awesome collection. Those Rasbora brittani are rather pretty. Never seen them before.

That's 10 different species and counting :)

I think you will be hard pushed to find someone who would question the quality of their fish :)

These are only the second batch of R. Brittani that I have ever seen so needless to say I wasn't passing up the chance to get some :D

Thanks Jim, they are all between 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" total length and the biggest one is just over 1 1/2" wide :shock:

Here is one of them compared to one of the bigger P. Cheni

They all seem to have settled in really well Emma :)

Ive even seen little shoving matches between the baby Lineolata and the Cheni and Spotty's.

I couldnt beleive what I was seeing a baby Lineolata just over 1/2" trying to shove a 2 1/2" Spotty :shock: :lol:

Brilliant, Mark. I especially like those Rasbora cephalotaenia and brittani (sorry, loach fans :P ). Looks like I missed a great day out I must make it next time.
