Harro,
Thank you very much for your reply. I got the
spelling of the lake off of the site that was
selling them :) Figures! No wonder I couldn't
find much using that as a search. Here's the
excerpt from the ad on the fish site:
"The great explorer, Heiko Bleher has gone all
over the world, risking life and limb, not to
mention bouts with several types of malaria to
bring back the most amazing fishes, especially
the brilliant rainbowfishes. These fish come from
a very special lake, Lake Ifaten, that he has
been seeking for years. He would see the crater
lake as the plane would fly over yet he couldn't
even find a native who knew where it was. A lake
that was totally unknown to the world! In Jan
2001 (the start of the real millennium) he
finally made it and discovered this gem. The
millennium rainbow, Glossolepis pseudoincisus is
different than it's bigger cousin from Lake
Sentani, Glossolepis incisus. These fish get red
at three months of age. Heiko says, "The color in
these fish is MUCH brighter than G. incisus, and
it's smaller and less high-bodied.... the most
stunning blood-red fish I had ever seen!" We
think that Heiko made one of the most remarkable
discoveries in the Rainbowfish World last century
when he brought out the Neon rainbowfish,
Melanotaenia praecox. Now you have a chance to
own his latest discovery of the new millennium!
Read about Heiko's adventures in catching these
fish in the February 2002 issue of TFH, with
further pictures in the March issue. Really check
out the fish in the March issue too. We are the
exclusive importers of these fish so you won't be
seeing many of them at your LFS for a while."
If these really are from the single import, then
perhaps they are a quality fish?
What do you guys think?
Thanks!
Roan
