reptilez Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 thanks...... ANimal Shack In Pukekohe has them in quite reguraly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Are you sure? IIRC they haven't been available very frequently over the past few years, prior to this lot I only recall seeing them twice at HFF, once about 6 months ago and once about 3 years ago. Its easy to confuse them with small Geophagus altifrons, which most LFS seem to have fairly regularly. I picked up four today, forgot how cute they are when they're little. Still miss my two big ones; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 These are those puffy head ones eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I think you're thinking of Gymnogeophagus balzanii. I'd love to get my hands on some of them even more than the heckelii!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
