Here is the result of a six hour journey.

there are five of them no idea if they are males or females.
I nearly bought them all.
Does anyone know how I make the picture come up and not just the link?
Matt

Mod Edit: Change to image tags, using the full-size image. [I got the link to the full-size image by right-clicking on the image and saying "Copy Image-link" in FireFox.] --Mats

Mod edit 2: Putfile doesn't seem to like direct links to large images, so I've changed it back to the link suggested by putfile. Which means that you need to click on the thumbnail image to get the large image... -- Mats

Hi Matt,
Great find. I sincerely hope you'll stop blaming everything on the jaguars now :D .
In case you'll have too many males let me known. I'll be around in February :wink:

I shall be moving them to their proper tank soon and I shall photograph them each and ask opinions to their gender, I'm not sure if they are big enough yet.
But sure if I have acouple o males you are welcome. The more people trying to breed them the better.
Matt
Thanks Mats I shall try it out next time.

Hi Matt, really nice looking fish.

I hope you don't mind me asking but could you give me an idea of how much these cost, I know there haven't been any around for a while so guess they may be at a premium. I'd quite like to get hold of some myself but before I start what will probably be a long search I'll like to know how affordable they are!!

Cheers

Easy question.

at Wildwoods in enfield, if you havn't been there then now is your excuse it really is a great shop. The fish house is really peacefull and you can look for ages. They have excelent fish there esp. catfish. The staff are really good there friendly and they will really take time out to help you, they don't rush you and they don't bother you if youre busy looking.
I would go on a wednesday as this is the best day for the M25.
When I was up there the other day they still had quite a few left.
They were priced acording to size.
