What price are you looking for?[/list]

[blackwater spa]

I LUV RING LEOPARDS!

Can't wait to see all these fish at your shop!!

[Reillin]

GDay Kev,

Wow, an amazing array of fish available this time round. I truly envy your job more and more as the day goes by Kev. lol.

I booked for some Inka 50s, however the Biotomodo cupido also caught my eyes, not to mention the large Farlowella acus.

I am hoping to establish a larger base than one pair of F0 (Inka 50s) fish for Melbourne, but I guess there will always be other shipments. Also am wondering, are those Tangs F0 (wildcaughts?).

Cheers,
Vien.

[skoom]

Dear Kev,

Do you have the prices of the listed fish?

Many thanks.

skoom

[kevkoi]

Skoom, no prices for most confirmed yet.... Will be more sure of a price next week.

Reilin, Tangs are F1. Will have some F0 fish on next shipment when the frontosas come in. :) Glad you noticed all the GOOD STUFF. F.acus are about 20cm. There will hopefully be some Inka 50 on the next shipment too. The one I MUST alert you to are T.candidi.... They look better than all the photos I've seen online!!!

Africandiscus, prices are not confirmed yet, but they will be pretty close to the last pair of snow whites sold. :)

[Darth_discus]

i luv penangs and san merahs

can't wait because last time i missed out

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Dan]

Hi,

are there any approx. prices on the Lamprologus occellatus "gold" ?

i'm sure they will go fast tho but just so i kno how much i'd be expectin to pay when i try get them another time :)

thanks
dan

[G-1000]

They sound awesome Kev!

Can't wait for pics :D

[mtchye]

I would be very interested in pics and your opinion in difficulty or otherwise of keeping the Petrophyllum scalare "Peru" (Wildcaught angels)... Being wild do they come in loaded with problems or are they pretty much par for the course.

Also on your travels have you seen any angels similar to these nice koi ones in the US?

http://users.adelphia.net/~newbreeds/index.html

[mcloughlin2]

Also on your travels have you seen any angels similar to these nice koi ones in the US?

Wow they are heaps nice....i have seen a few koi angelfish at some of the LFS but never with that amount of orange... :)

[mtchye]

Yes a friend of mine breeds a tonne of angels for the trade and is on the lookout for wild types to outcross to as well as good quality koi angels. These caught my eye and it seems they are available quite a bit in the U.S. but over here we don't seem to get many. I figure the Malaysian breeders Kev frequents may have some of these somewhere hopefully as it is too difficult to get them in from the US.

[kevkoi]

Mtchye, the wild peruvian angels are P.scalare, but being that they are wild caught they have a very peculiar habbit and are rather more skittish than the domesticated forms. The thing spectacular about them is their SIZE.

Some of these same angels were imported about 18months ago by another importer in Malaysia and sold to a few Angel fish breeder friends of mine. These fish have grown up bigger than any domesticated angelfish. These have been used to out-cross with domesticated marble angels (experiment), and in 5months, the fry have grown up HUGE!!! I've reserved a few of these super huge adult/sub adult angels to be sent to Aust to show the potential size of these wild angels.

Definately great for outcrossing.

There are good koi angel lines here.... except they are few and far between. Most angels are massbred and few breeders these days really look at colour (They care more about growth rate to get the fry on the market as soon as possible). I'll have a look around for some of the better koi angel lines.

kev

[mcloughlin2]

Kev if u can get good quality koi angelfish with a least half-three quarters of their body covered in dark orange i would be interested.... :wink:

Sam

[endless]

Do these wild caught P.scalare angels grow as big as the wild caught P.altums??

[G-1000]

Hey Kev,


I just wanted to know how easy it would be for you to get the following discus imported (I don't want you to bring them in, but I just wanna know for future reference). All of them around the 3 inch mark...

Yellow Melon (no peppering)
Red Melon (no peppering)
White Butterfly
Blue Diamond
Pearl Pidgeon (no peppering)
Snow White/White Diamond
Marlboro Red (traditional type with no peppering)


Let me know please mate...

PM me or whatever is easiest for you...

Thanks

[mcloughlin2]

G-1000 if u read the list ^ u will see that there is a heap of the discus u want coming in ATM.... :D

Sam.... :D

[G-1000]

True, but I need them strictly around the 3 inch size...

But man am I tempted by that SLS shipment

[mtchye]

Kev, forgot to ask, what is the size of the wild angels.. and let me know when you have a price estimation.

[kevkoi]

Mtchye, angels are approx 5-6cm body length. Can obtain a couple at 12cm body length (GIANTS!).

-------------------------------------
G1000,
Yellow Melon (no peppering) ----- currently there are some, but don't know how long they will last.

Red Melon (no peppering) ----- relatively available.
White Butterfly ------ clean white buttefly are not regularly available. Most often just pigeons.

Blue Diamond --- easy peasy.

Pearl Pidgeon (no peppering) ---- relatively easy atm.

Snow White/White Diamond ---- relatively available atm.

Marlboro Red (traditional type with no peppering) ----- not often available anymore, most ppl concentrating on the newer cleaner melons

[mcloughlin2]

Any pics for me to drool over?? :D LOL

Sam....

[mcloughlin2]

Kev just out of interest how much would u expect a quality koi angelfish to sell for.....???

Sam....

[kevkoi]

No idea. Haven't found one of such quality yet. :lol:
Most I've seen are pretty mediocre.

[Dan]

4 more days till the fish come out of quarantine!!!!!!

[BillyBlanks22]

I hope I dont miss out on the apistogramma like last time.

How many pairs of Ap. Inca are there this time Kev?

Is there a limit on how many pairs an individual can order? I know breeders will probably snap up several pairs at a time, leaving regular hobbyists empty handed:cry:

[kevkoi]

There's about 10pairs of A.beanchi "Inka 50" only. Don't know who's next on the list, but if you put in your early reservations, u'll get them... If not, better luck next shipment. :wink:

[madaboutfish]

Kev,

Nick

Just an FYI.

Stay tuned for an update once they have been cleared and are available.

SLS

Sam ...

[Davo]

Is the new shipment in the shop yet?

Dave.

[kevkoi]

I believe some are in the shop, but the majority are still in the holding room till George and Michella get back from their much needed holiday in about a week's time.

Apologies about the delay..... minor problem with Quarantine release last week and G&M need some time off. :oops:

[Proteus]

Just an FYI, any of the new fish that did make it into the shop last week, were sold very quickly.

Steps are being put in place to try and get some of the smaller stock in store on Friday but nothing will be certain until the day.

[Davo]

Proteus,

Did the blue face heckels and Alenquer Brown "Santerem" arrive in this shipment? If they did, have they been sold and if so how much were they?

Thanks,
Dave

[Proteus]

I havent seen either of those in the shop, so either they are still in holding, or did not get shipped.

Kev should be able to answer whether they were shipped.

[kevkoi]

Davo, those fish are still sitting here in M'sia... Pics I just posted up in the other thread.

Didn't get sent the blue face heckels unfortunately... BUT did get Willyshwartzi heckels!! :lol:

[Davo]

Do you have a pic of the blue faced heckels and a price?

Dave

[mtchye]

Kev, any price on the angels?

[dreamer]

i know i cant afford the heckels but what sort of price are they going for ?

[kevkoi]

They're not exactly THAT expensive. The heckels and pineapple heckels are around about the $90-$100 mark for 2.5"-3" fish.

[Proteus]

update: approx 20 of the small Discus (Reds, Cobalts) have been added to store stock, as well as a few larger Red Alenquers & Turqs

[Reillin]

Hey Sam,

What is that discus on your picture? Looks amazing,

A group of 6 of those would be major drool factor. If I'm gonna get into discus, I may as well go for the best.

Cheers,
Vien.

[BillyBlanks22]

Did the Apistogramma Inca and Taenicara Candidi make it into the shop? I heard they might be rejected?

[SLS]

Did the Apistogramma Inca and Taenicara Candidi make it into the shop? I heard they might be rejected?

Nothing has been rejected, just awaiting further information & clarification.

[mtchye]

Are there any prices on the wild angels as yet?

[BillyBlanks22]

any update on the Inca?

[kevkoi]

yes, the fish should be available next week.

however most if not all of the fish are reserved.

[Proteus]

[previous post edited]

The inca's are not in the store yet, sorry for any confusion that may have occurred.

All the people that have reserved fish. or stated in interest in these will be contacted over the next week, on a first come first served basis.

[kevkoi]

Few shots of discus coming out early next week.

*Pearl Pigeon Pair 5"

[Proteus]

Go the Colorbits...

lol

[kevkoi]

few more.

[wifey of axelfaz]

Why have they been in quarantine for so long?

[goldfish]

how much would the Pearl Pigeon Pair 5" cost approximately?
and is there any peruvian coming in soon?

[kevkoi]

George and Michella were on a much needed holiday the last week and a half, so we didn't rush the fish out of quarantine as we would be majorly under-staffed to take and fulfill the orders, shipping etc et of new discus.

Also with them gone and if the new fish were in shop, the quarantine tanks would be empty. We don't like leaving the quarantine tanks empty for such a long time. It creates fluctuation in the system (high bio-load, then no bio-load) and may create problems for the next shipment of fish, should we lose too much of the good bacteria from running a system empty.

Anyhow, the discus and various other fish are now coming into the shop and another shipment of fish will be arriving in the next few days.

kev

[G-1000]

Kev,

How much you want for the marlboro reds ?

G

[BillyBlanks22]

Kev,

Any update on the Inca's? Not too worried If I dont get them now, just curious on what the situation is......

[kevkoi]

Mate, best u call them directly to see what's left. 02-93155288.

I believe the Inka's came out and started flying all over Australia already. If you put your name down with SLS, u might have received a call if we got down to your name before we ran out of fish.

If not, I'm hoping to send some more out in about a week.

Kev

[PJP]

sorry goldfish you missed out I got the pearl pigeons the day they came to the shop
I saw them in the bags when I went to pick up the ocean green pair I had set aside and couldn't resist

[kevkoi]

Goldfish,
Ah well, the pearl pigeons have gone to a good home... :lol:

Peruvians which? Angels or discus? The small Peruvian angels are already at SLS. Peruvian Discus, errmmm.... I didn't order any Peruvian discus. Next peruvian shipment is still up in the air. No connecting flights, and I'm only after Apistogramma inka50 from them atm. :?

[BillyBlanks22]

My Inca 50 pair have finally arrived!:D

Thanks to Michella and George at SLS and Heinz at All Aquarium!
