yesterday was my birthday and my friend gary and i drove to nj to meet this
wholesaler who imports fish from australia, thailand and brazil. he is the
one that has lots of rainbows and gobies. i didnt' get any bows or gobies
this time, but picked up the Schistura sp. Lach Bri (loach), which has a pink
posterior. it's an interesting fish. i also picked up some Atrax spinipes
shrimp which didn't live a day, probably died of shock when introduced to my
tank; and a pair of Betta persephone. other rare fish i picked up include
many south american tetras and catfish (incl. the very rare Platystacus
cotylephorus).
gary picked up M. affinis 'pagwi', trifasciata 'goyder river' and maccullochi
'etty bay' and a bunch of rasboras. he tells me the fish are incredibly
colorful and he's very happy. i'm going there tomorrow to see them.
for those of you interested in contacting him, his name is keith pyontek, from
aquaticus, tel: 609-883-7717. leave him a message with your fax number and he
will fax you his list. he also ships.
