F15hguy Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 they are available (or Leaf fish are anyways, dunno which one), dunno why you want one, just put a leaf in your tank and tell everyone its a fish. seriously they just sit there looking like a leaf and killing anything that moves so quickly you wont see anything. but just ask you LFS to order one in for you they will probably ask for a deposit.

critter_crazy Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I work at a fish store and boss man says we can get the spotty leaf fish but not sure about this one so thought I'd ask here. Will hassle suppliers when next in. Keen on one/some to put in my SA tank. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 you mean your "Leaf Fish Feeding Tank"???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Maybe. These ones only get 8cm apparently and will be in with a similar sized young dat and some young surinamensis. If anything I'd be more worried about him getting eaten than the existing fish :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mts sufferer Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I saw a very sad and unhealthy looking fish that was labelled as a leaf fish at the tower junction animates in chch, it was animates though so it could have been anything for all they know. :roll: It didn't look much like the pictures before.
