Just spotted a 3" L333 on sale for £199.
Have I got my species mixed up or is this a mental price?!!

Thought they were based on price of them. Would be a difficult call to tell the better one apart from the one I saw in a shop today. Either that or a pricy hybrid at £44!

Had these lovely fish for about 4 years and bought them as 1-2" fish. They are now about 8-9".

The closest I have to them would be ornatipinnis and I have just seen one for sale in a local shop that looks identical but had a good chunky price tag.

I am on the verge of giving these fish away but if ...

Strange, the guy is calling these golden eyes. Is that a generic name for multipuncs? He says they are originally from Rene Kruter in Holland if that helps?

Def not those, these too gold with a multipunctatus spot coverage. Grandiops looks best bet still. Can't get photos now but can try next time I'm up. He gets them from Germany and could be just using a common name. He is a cichlid guy really and has some cats. Think he knows a bit as he has some ...

Sold, thanks

Just been told the Latin name is S. Multipunctatus but are recognised as dwarf species. If it is a dwarf shouldn't it be classified taxanomically differently? Really like the fish but would much prefer to know what I'm buying? Am I being passed off hybrids? Anyone heard of this dwarf myltipunc?

Looks very similar.
The guy has had young by accident from a brood via cuckoo spawning so looks like a good bet. He said they were so
Stints called golden eye Syno?
Looks like them anyway.
Thanks

Just saw some fish being sold as dwarf multipunctatus. Look identical from what I saw. Anyone got any info on them as they were cheaper than multis.
Def not Lucipinnis or polli. Nice fish but don't want to buy hybrids.

Two 6-7" fish. Really pretty, very active, plump and well looked after.

She has only been in with the male, a fire eel and some satanoperca. She was fine with all but the male was a bit of a bruiser. No bother with either.

I have never shipped before and wouldnt really know where to start. Would rather not ship as the livestock cant be guaranteed once it leaves my ...

Large (pushing 6") female. ID as female by myself and Wigan Aquatics where she was bought as part of pair. Male was a monster; pushed 7" but unfortunately lost him.

Super condition with good spot coverage - not one with few spots on head.

Looking for around £30
Other fish available too for free ...

Hey, got a lovely " pair" of these fish ( well m and f as best I and pier aquatics can tell!) and was wondering if anyone had had a go at breeding them. Any top tips gratefully accepted before I have a go!

It's fine, there are two 4' tanks waiting for them. Would rather have them in front room for now as they're pretty! Was difficult to move anything round when the wolf fish was around!

I was in dobbies in Milton Keynes on weekend. I like it there to a degree... They get the odd oddball in but most if all, they don't realise and mislabel it! Had a few cheeky buys from the so far!
They have a beautiful mbu puffer in, the best I've seen and at £80 for a 9" fish I'm tempted.
Yet, in ...

Hi,
I'm a school teacher in Buckingham with 4 tropical tanks, fully mature, established and ready for fish.
I love the cats but kids love anything!
I'm offering homes ( up to 4' fishtanks) for unwanted fish. Larger fish have character but there are limits!
No oscars, pactus, rtc's, pangas or your ...

Thanks again,

I think they were around £14 but the shop is either very expensive or very cheap after misidentifying the fish... was kind of hoping the latter would be true and I could snatch another bargain from them as they were pretty useless at giving me any info on the fish!

I got some ...

Can you suggest what a reasonable price is for one?
They were about 3"

Can anyone be more detailed about a "African shovelnose"? Saw one in lfs. Small, dark brown and black. Looked similar colours to a hara. Definitely had shovel shape face but isn't listed under shovelnose when I searched. Perhaps the juvenile changes colour when older? Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for that.

Is anyone actually keeping any cats in with one now??

Hi, I have a 9" hoplias malabaricus and as a catfish fan I would like to know if anyone has attempted to keep any cats with them?

Thanks for the info.
I must say that I have used Trimar in the past and was really ahppy with their service. I ordered some L66 king tigers and they arrived in good condition bar one that was dead. they were great on the return of the money so I would definatley say that these guys were good. The ...

Any help on a recent UK price for these fish would be great. Looking to kit out the fishtank at school and have a good budget for "pretty" fish. See if the head likes these! I would probably be looking for a chunkier fish opposed to a juvenile (about 6") but any prices, along with where they were ...

HI there,
I bought some coconuts to act as spawning caves for my bristlenose. Has anyone fed the coconut to the fish? Ive popped it in my tank and they punced on it but I was wondering if anyone had done this before and if not are there any reasons why I shouldnt feed it to them. I have a L25 in ...

Thanks again for your posts guys.

I know that the synos are difficult and I suppose I was optomistic but they are nice fish anyway. I will keep them for a while and see how they do!

Anyone want to buy a scarlet plec by the way!

I think the false body shape is due to a camera angle. I have had to cut the image down in order for this site to accept it. Thanks a lot guys, if I were to put my money on it, it would be an ornatipinnis.

Hi there, hope someone could give me a clue as to this little cat. I bought it a while ago for a couple of quid as they were pretty cute. I knew they were synos but they have grown pretty quickly.

The closest I have is ornatipinnis but i know that these can be tricky with all the hybrids. Any help ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try and hunt it out. Any ideas of where I could start to look?

Hi guys,
Can anyone shed any light on the availability of this species. I have heard that hte have banned exporting them. Are they going the way of the zebra plec and is it worth grabbing a few if you spot any in the shops? Cheers
