Yes those are from AI, any store can order them.

Not advised to mix into other tanks. Best kept has Lawrence has done... NICE JOB mate! I have some far better Dwood for that tank, stop by and have your mind blown.

Ok,
Why don't my curipera look like yours?
I'll post a pic when l can get a good shot, but basically mine do not have the dark halo yours are showing.

[nevsfish]

my cuipeua are wild caught fish, are yours from exotic aquatic(forrest fish)if so they are tank breed they lose the halo when tank breed for x amount of genarations.the more genarations removed from wild parents the less the halo shows.but there can be exceptions.

forgot to add in my avatar is my female curipera(cuipeua)that i got from adrian it shows no halo because it is tank breed.

If anyone is after any wilds, i am looking at ordering in the next 24 hours so please email. Keep in mind these will not be cheap as im not importing them myself, and i wont be able to hand select this week as we are flat out. So whatever arrives is what you get unfortunately. However they will be from Aquarium Industries who are supplying just about everyones wilds right now. so likely will be the same as what you see on threads like these.

they have tefe, orinoco, and one or two others. All german import wild caught. Estimated prices will be $200-$400 a fish.
