Church, just email Frank.
he gets new stock in every Sunday.
if you tell him what you want, he'll
try to include it in future orders and
email you when it's coming in.
obviously, from Dec-Feb the whole
trade slows down as it's too cold to
ship fish reliably, so be patient.
here are other porkchops to consider;
Trigonostigma espei - 1.8" copper red body
![]()
Trigonostigma hengeli - 1.2" silver body, bold red stripe
![]()
Trigonostigma heteromorpha - 2.0" least contrast

Okay, so I'm once again looking to find more of these guys. I just drove all the way out to Brandon yesterday, because the jerk at Petsmart lied to me on the phone and told me they had them in stock, and that he was looking right at them. When I got there I didn't see them anywhere, nor did I see an empty aquarium with their mislabeled "Rasbora Espi" label underneath it! (Yes, I found out that Petsmarts frequently get some of these fish, but they call them Espi Rasboras. Sigh.)
So anyway I was pissed that I drove from Lutz to Brandon for nothing, so I drove down the street to Aquarium Creations. I asked the guy in there if he ever gets any, and he said yes, and that they are called Espi Rasboras! So I educated the guy, told him to Google it up, and he would see that what the exporters sell to him as Espi's are actually Hengeli's. At any rate, I gave him my number and he said he would call me when he gets more. He did, in fact, have ONE straggler swimming around in a tank by itself, so I grabbed him up, which means I now have 6 of them in my 5 gallon, but I need like a dozen more!
SOMEONE HELP ME FIND SOME HENGEL'S RASBORAS, PLEASE, EVEN IF THEY ARE MISLABELED AS ESPI'S, OR EVEN PIRANHAS FOR THAT MATTER!!!
Thank you.
