supasi Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi all Does anyone know the type of whiptails that were sold by Bubble and Squeak in CHCH several months ago.? They were offered on this site for something like $5 each or something. I got three but am useless at trying to ID catfish so was wondering if someone in the know could tell me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've got 2 of them Simon, not sure what they are. I've also got 2 Royals and 2 Red Whiptails, These weren't from Bubble'nSqueak though, the one's from Bubble and Squeak look quite different from my Royal's and Red's. Have you looked on the Orginal Thread when they were Selling them, it might say what type they are on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 if they have a pointy nose, and i for some reason seem to recall that they do cause ive seen the ones you guys have - then they are long nose farowellas. some places also sell them as pinocchio whiptails - but then they charge more for them :lol: don't you just love capitalism?

Mel Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I asked B&S at the time we ordered them, and never got a reply as to what they were. I do remeber someone saying they were common whiptails if thats the proper name. Try posting a picture someone might be able to ID them??

Zev Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 There is a pic here of a male with eggs, but as I have no idea what the brand of heater is, we can't use it as a reference for size! http://www.fishcrazy.co.uk/forums/t/6746.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
