Hi Troy, these fish sound very much like *the* fish that were brought into
Canberra from elswheres :-)

If this is so the fish *is* a colour variation of G. multisquamatus. Andy,
myself and other local ANGFA members *still* cannot obtain these fish from
the breeders who are also local breeders!!! This is a very sore point with
us at the moment. However we are eventually going to receive some stock
from a QLD breeder who is also a very good friend...They are expensive? at
the moment but they will be released in larger numbers as soon as some can
get their hands on them ;-)

Cheers
Alan
