Colour_genes Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I went into Petstock (general pet store) in Northwoods, Christchurch today for some fish food, and had a quick look in their tanks (as you do!). They have a tank containing 'Bristlenose $13' - there are at least 5 fish I could see and none of them are your regular, standard BN. Same general shape, possibly slightly more flattened head, black body with small whitish spots/dots, orangey edges & markings on their fins. Couldn't get a photo sorry, but look just like the photos of Rio Ucayali on 'Planet catfish'. The shop assistant checked and said they came from an importer based in the North Is. I just don't have room for them in my tanks atm, but someone else might like the chance to grab something a bit more exotic than the usual BN?

hovmoller Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Did anyone check this / get some of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colour_genes Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Not sure. I haven't been back up that way since I saw them, so unsure if they are still there. Sure hope someone took the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
