DennisP Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've been looking for some for a while. I've been checking the suppliers list at my lfs but there is nothing. Hollywood don't have any. Redwood don't have any. Organism who usually have some don't have any (last time I called was a few weeks ago but he said he won't be getting any until June I think) I thought they were quite common in shops so why have they all run out?

livebearer_breeder Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah and it doesnt seem like any breeders are having huge successes. Im also on the hunt for these, half beaks, clown killies and liquorish gouramie but wellington pet stores are rubbish tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hey Dennis. Have noticed the same here in Hamilton.. The last lot of Apisto's our LFS had in were Agassizi but they hadn't had any in for some time prior to that. I have some Macmasteri fry but my Cockatoo's haven't bred for some time and the same goes for my Trifisciata. Keep us informed when you do find some! Cheers Dan.

ryanjury Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Apistos seem to go in cycles, sometimes we have tons and then others we have none.. It doesn't help with they keep "apistoing" for no reason without breeding when we do have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I can only hope we will get an import available next month or something. But that's just speculation from what John at organism said. Also livebearer, check redwood aquatics. I just looked before and they had some half beaks available.
