Back in Panaque

[xingu]

Quite obviously not the L27 my guy was told he was getting, however I flew in the face of reason and picked this up tonight (they only arrived yesterday).

Tank they were in had no wood despite me telling the owner when he said they were on the way that they needed it, got one of the shop staff to move a nice big piece of driftwood in for them.

Belly looks great, no sunken eyes and I didn't want the biggest to go although they won't sell quickly at the price they have them at.

So one is happily adjusting to life in my wood tangle, fired off some quick shots before turning the lights out for the night, water was a mess as did a big WC and added a powerhead as well before I popped it in.

Super happy, the hunt continues for some different sp, although that is 4 nice Loris in the tank now with the 3 x A. ucalayi which are doing great.

ps anyone want to make me REALLY happy and tell me it 418 and not the 191 i think it is, I've never seen a juvi 418.

It's not a 418 lol

 

[xingu]

It's not a 418 lol

I know

I can but dream

I've just mailed the LFS owner to tell him that the exporter told him the wrong fish lol, not even the right country!

Either ways I am happy and a 27 would have cost a heck of a lot more I reckon

Where the **** are your photos?!

It's a little cracker mike..... I tried to get a shot of my bad boy last night but every time I moved he went under the wood. He destroyed a whole green pepper (which the missus had bought to go into her dinner lmao)

What do you reckon these gnashers can get up to then?

I'm surprised the little fella seems to have travelled so well. Was there another one you were going to get?

 

[Tambo]

Monster! You must need a shovel to clean up after that!

I initially was going to get a LDA65, that didn't make the exporters in time.

Then was supposed to be a L330 but they have gone by the time he out the Discus order in.

This was sold to him as L27, he bought a bag to test the market I think, there are about 7-8 more in the shop, this one was the biggest and probably looked in the best condition.

The search continues...
