Hi,
just got 5 new youngsters of 3.5 cm 70euro per fish!
i got them from germany, i had had big problems on the way back to holland becuase are car broke down,and so we had to wait for a friend.
the fish were in isolation boxes but the water did cool of so i put some hot coffee in empty bottles and put it next to the boxes in a bag to keep the warmt a bit.
after six hours in the bags and still the temperature did drop quitte a bit ,they all survived easily.so these fish really are quitte hardy.
the breeder breeds them in a tank with cory's and shrimps and he has a spawn almost every month and he throws them in the fry tank without any aclimitation when they are only 2 cm -2.5 cm and they always survive.
well that brings my totall to 24 and if i had enough money i could have had more then 100 after the ban,so they arent that difficult to find if you try hard enough,and know where to look. in germany they are a lot cheaper and quitte easy to find.not in shops but just hobbyists.
take care
