Well..its looks like Ive found a LFS over here that is importing directly from SLS (told by a friend). The prices are a little greater than the SLS prices (understandably) but are reasonable.

Looks like I might be getting some of these and more likely from the previous shipment. Just need to decide which ones.

Im getting another 5 tanks set up this week :D

Mike :D

any of those in melbourne? I know sls ships, but it increases the price by a whack, and I don't want 100 fish

[Noddy65]

No mate..just Perth...you might have to ask around in Melbourne.

After looking at my newly arrived DATZ book, I think Im gonna change my order !!! :D

[Noddy65]

Hi Kev
A friend forwarded on an email for me. Any available pics of:
A. trifasciata "Guapore highfin red"
A. hongsloi "Red stroke"
and do you have access to veijta form 2...I only really want females.

Thanks Mike

[parkap]

Great to hear Kev.

What water parameters do you stabilise them in and what do you feed them, if anything, during that period?

Are they they same conditions George uses for quarantining once they hit Sydney?

Just want to know so I don't have any fish going into shock when they hit my system. Am tired of the mysterious apisto death syndrome I've been having, espeically with my agazissiis.

Peter.

[steph]

Hi Kev

Do you have the DATZ book?

Is the A. agassizi "santarem" the same as the fish on the bottom left of page 106 ??

And is the A agassizi tefe same/similar to the ones on page 107 ?

Cheers

S

[kevkoi]

Just got back online.... Bloody puter and modem got blown up by lightning.

Agassizi Tefe is "Tefe Bauana".... it's in the Datz. Sparking purple coloured fish with white pattern on the tail.

Agassizi Santarem is unfortunately not the red head u're thinking of Steph. I tried to order those, but they were 'not available at the moment'. :(

A.agassizi "Santarem" are like these: http://www.wiljo.nu/images/fiskar/apistogramma_agassizi.jpg

[kevkoi]

Water parameters at 6.0 and slowly raise to 6.5.

Hi Kev,

I'm interested in the P.taeniatus "Moliwe" ....but I'm in Brisbane.

Any photo's??

Anybody else in Brisbane wanting fish from SLS ???

Regards,

Rod

[Namn8r]

Hi Kev,

Would you say the pics on this link http://www.rva.ne.jp/apisto/4.htm are acurate to the fish your importing?

So many fish I have never heard of so hard to find pictures!

Ps any altum angels or royal whiptails in this lot as well?

[Sime76]

any of those in melbourne? I know sls ships, but it increases the price by a whack, and I don't want 100 fish

Hey Wickedglass,

If you want to get some, you may be able to get some Melbournians (like yours truly) together to split a shipment which would make it pretty cost effective.

Cheers

[Namn8r]

Anyone from adelaide want fish?

[arjay]

I did but we're looking at buying a house so I decided to put it off until that's sorted. I'd definitely be interested when SLS's next shipment comes in though.

Oh Namn8r, Sasaki's website has a good representation of what the varieties are.... yes. He's very up todate on what the best Apistogramma are.

Any enquiries, please contact me. Any reservations of fish, please contact SLS.

[Th0mas]

Kev,

The number seems to have shrinked a little (from the original list). What happened? Are those full size Inkas coming as well??

Thomas.

[parkap]

Kev,

Is the trifasciata you've listed the German bred "Guapore red highfin red seam"? Or is this a different SE Asia sourced one?

Peter.

[kevkoi]

Not enough interest to risk sending all the beautiful apistogramma over down under unfortunately.

We're keeping some for breeding at our facility and have traded some for other rarer fare with other importers.

Elizabethae are all accounted for, so didn't bother listing.... Got a male heavy batch, so didn't bother sending spare males.

All in all, it seems like it's still a pretty decent list we have.. :wink:

[Th0mas]

I see, so some of those that are already reserved won't be included in the list.

Still might be a good idea to let us know what will arrive into the country so we know there's someone around to pester in a couple of months down the track.... :D

Thomas.

[Noddy65]

Who grabs all these nice fishies?
Who.....?

Mike

[Sime76]

Hey Kev,

How about some prices on the

Apistos, Microgeophagus ramirezi, Biotodoma cupido & L134

Cheers

[hotrowe]

:oops: I missed out on this shipment: maybe next time... If any breeder has Apisto fry for sale from any German shipments through Kev ,please let me know as I am keen to get hold of some of the newer species. G

[arjay]

Hi Kev,

Can you let me/us know what Apistogramma are left or would I need to phone SLS now to find out?

~Russell.

[arjay]

Hi Kev,

Thanks in advance,

*Sorry for the double post...

[mcloughlin2]

Best to give SLS a call i would say... :wink:

[kevkoi]

Prices have been listed... Anyone who missed out and wants more of these fish, please let me know via pm.

Will be in Hong Kong till this weekend so may not log in to check so regularly.... but will promise to get more interesting dwarf cichlids at more attractive prices. :wink:

[TW]

Hi Kev

I've pm'd you about my mowlie. Not sure if it went through or not, so thought I'd post here also. Pls let me know if you didn't receive my pm

Thanks,
Robyn

[Noddy65]

Any news on when theyre coming out of quarantine?
Im waiting over eher for my new fishes.

Mike

[Th0mas]

According to my knowledge, they landed 21/4. Takes two weeks for quarantine, so earliest would be this Friday.

Thomas.

[arjay]

I called SLS yesterday and the lady I spoke to said that they would be shipped this Friday.

[Noddy65]

Thanks Thomas...and I am kinda sorry you missed out on those fish from this shipment.
How are your Inkas going?

My cacs have just spawned again and the eggs were eaten overnight (Im pulling them next time) and I think a similar thing has happened to a pair of panduros. the other pair looks like spawning, the female is trying to lead a male to a pot but he just doenst seem very interested...silly fish.

Mike

[Th0mas]

All okay as far as I can see this morning when I checked them, the wiggler's eye are darkening. Expecting to reach free swimmer stage by Friday.

I'll be updating with photos regularly in the other thread, hopefully this won't bored everyone. If it is becoming too much, please let me know and I won't update as regular.

Thomas.

[Robdog]

Just found out about this site yesterday when I went into SLS.
They already have quite a few of the new stock from Kevs list. Some of them look awesome too!
Some of the apistos not in yet but should be early in the week apparently.
Hold me back!
and thus ends my first post :D

(RARE!!! Limited) (RARE ENOUGH!!) (RARE! Limited)
(RARE west african) (HEN'S TEETH RARE, West African dwarf).

Hey Kev, when you use these terms, do you mean that they are rare in their natural environment or that these are rare for the Australian market.
I presume the latter as I haven't seen them at any other aquarium other thaan SLS.

[catfishbone]

Hi Grae,

just saw the location from the website ... and the shop is very close to where i used to play badminton when i was in perth ... :)

might go over to perth end of this month .. but still not confirmed yet ... want to setup aquariums in my sis place ... :)

cheers,
