Benny Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 I liked this shop, it had a good range of tropical, marine and even a few brackish. They had a darn nice 'six bar something' I can't actually remember the name :oops: Dennis maybe you can help- it is quite large, is a plant eater and has bars similar to a borneo tiger and is in the large tank next to the counter with the larger oscars.

Midas Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Sixbar distichodus ? http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=10787 You sound like you've been on quite a tour around the country. Did you stop at many other fish shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macka Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 It was a six-barred distichodus Distichodus sexfasciatus which is a tetra from the congo river system or lake tanganyika. They grow to about 35cm and dont lose there colour when full grown. Will eat anything but plant matter can be prefered. Has a clown like behavior and will school with similar coloured fish, in my experience dosent like tiger barbs. Growth is resonable fast, also needs high O2 water. I have one in my discus tank and there is a pic of it in my photo albums, check it out to see if it is the same as the one you saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted January 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 yep that's the fish, the one I saw must have been only a juvenile. Thanks I had a look at Hollywood fish farm aswell. I was up in the Bay of Plenty and Auckland region for a week, so I decided to have a look at some shops that I read about alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
