these are my 'wish fish' (laugh you will)
Orange Zebra Oto - yea, i know peru
Microdevario kubotai “Neon Yellow Microrasbora”
Dario dario “Scarlet badis, Scarlet gem” - can these go with rasbora and shrimp? so cute
and
Boraras uropthalmoides- “Sparrow rasbora” - whom i have fallen in love with.

how would Centromochlus sp. cf. reticulatus be with the small fish and shrimp - they are cute (if i can't get the orange ones), any idea on size yet, and what does a 'meaty' diet mean (to my betta that means all other fish and shrimp)

i would still need something for alge if not the orange - ideas think "nano"

i WISH you had more Parotocinclus peru - i am in LOVE with them...

if you don't have these these fish any ideas when you might? are we talking next sept-dec for all of them?

Yes, the Peru stuff will be next fall- unless you want to pay about double what I usually charge for me to get them wholesale. I don't like to do that, and it hurts my pocket book desperately as they dont sell quickly.
As for the kubotai- i have some in qt now, and scarlet badis coming in Tuesday. I am out of uropthalmoides, but can get more (probably not for a couple weeks, as I am in full swing traveling mode). Do you have any snails? Nerites are great for algae I do have regular otos coming in as well. I have some cocama here, but am working on breeding them to tyr and supplement demand. I don't want to part with them. I wish I had more paros as well, I didn't even get to keep any for myself I am bummed massively about that.

I am not sure how the reticularus would do, but I would imagine fine. They do like a LOT of flow/oxygenation which may not be ideal for things like boraras.

I wouldn't put any Centromochlus/Tatia species with shrimp.

Yes, they would love babies and juvies. However, they are completely fine with my Corydoras habrosus. I don't know the relative sizes of other nano fish, but compare them when considering these fish. They are quite greedy, most of the time.

[jshoker]

Man, I'm always too late to look at this list, the things I want are sold out

[laqu]

would the cocama be okay with shrimp?

darn liked the Centromochlus but it would be with shrimp


i know nerites are great .. love them but the last batch you sent died - not you me... i still can't figure out what i am doing wrong. they have food, they have clean water, friends, i talk to them... okay to i did figure out the betta was flipping them over and eating them... could it be the eco-complete? .. the shrimp are happy, the fish are happy, the snails.. nope - i do love them... must be something i'm doing.

[msjinkzd]

cocama are just fine with shrimp, i keep them in my crs breeding tank.

i have kept nerites on eco without issue- soundsl ike that pesky betta was preventing them from feeding.

[laqu]

Rachel, I keep getting diff info on the cocama, what max size do they get to be.

[msjinkzd]

about 2", or just under

[laqu]

that's what i thought! thanks

[briansbelle]

Have any emerald rasboras? I have 6 of them and would like to add a decent group to the tank with them.

[msjinkzd]

which species are you talking about? I am terrible with common names

Do they eat any of the Repashy foods?

[msjinkzd]

I havne't tried yet, feeding them frozen. They generally do eventually.

A reminder- I am out of town at Aquamania in MD this weekend. I am speaking on Saturday and vending on Sunday. I am also taking pre-orders, which get a 10% discount. The following weekend I am also out of town from Thursday through Sunday- get yoru orders in while you can

Three spot rasboras are coming out of qt (Boraras maculatus)!

[Alaskan Fishface]

Will you be getting any
Corydoras hastatus? Hard to find these little guys!
