Don't think I could get it out of the house in one piece. Been thinking about a fire eel, I'm keeping watch on TradeMe for a good sized one...

David R Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thirty clowns, a pair of threadfin (A. heckelii), and three tiny uaru. Not a bad haul for a mornings shopping!! No in-tank pics as they're in quarantine with a precautionary dose of meth blue just in case... snookie, smidey and Silverdollarboy2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Nice pick up! Would like to see some large A. heckelii around again, nice looking fish. There is a group of clowns going on tm at the moment if you are interested. Unrelated, but has anyone seen the ridiculous price being forked out for a datnoid on tm? Over $700 for it. Ludicrous.

IMO they should not be offered for sale at all. I have seen absolutely huge pacu at a public aquarium, at least a metre long with deep thick bodies. Maybe if you had 10k litres haha.

David R Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Holy ****!!!! That's a nice looking dat but $700?! Hope someone has the same enthusiasm for the large Royal I've got going on there at the moment!! I agree about the pacu, really a public aquarium only fish IMO. And HFF still have a few threadfins, one definite male and possible one female and a couple of not-sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 One more addition... This is the species that first got me interested in aquaria when as a kid of around six a friends parents got one for their tank at home. I haven't kept one for probably close to twenty years and I'm really not sure why. Too common? Not interesting enough? Don't fit the biotope? Bah who cares, they look awesome and I want one, so...
