Saw bleheri as well....i guess this is the time of year where they are bringing new bleheri stocks. the other blue channa price if im not mistaken 35...or was it 28 or 22 ? feifeng cost bout 90 each. thinking about getting one...then realize my tank is underfiltered.... so in the end bought 8 silver dollars as new frens for my oscar

But when it comes to feeding, tigers are really fast. "plop" goes the fish, " snap!" terus by tigers.

Updating my small tank, yesterday i bought 3 angels, 3 dwarf cichlids and 4 angel-silver dollar-like fishes. Dunno the species but will snap pics later. Now all of them very camera shy, esp when i turn on the light. Dwarfs look exactly like this : This post has been edited by antzz: Nov 5 2013, 11:42 AM

I always adore them but no small tank like yours yet  cant wait for the update then btw i have an IT about 4inch now, with an NGT at 3inch. no fights yet. probably cause there are larger cichlids around..
