Alrighty, everyone survived shipping and acclimation. One brave soul is out from under their piece of driftwood. Lights are turned down really low atm. I think these are most certainly A. vespa, but I could be wrong.

they look like young Akysis longifilis to me. The online sales department said some photos may be outdated, and that they were sure they were A. vespa . I wasn't able to get photos of the stock from the retailer beforehand... We'll know for sure on Tuesday--I'll take some pictures while they're in ...

Hi all, I just thought I'd give an update on my search for some of the Akysis species: I was able to secure a group of A. vespa through The Wet Spot in Oregon, as previously mentioned by Bekateen. I think they update their stock today and they should be on it. $7.00USD per fish + shipping (~$35.00US...

The smallest is around 30mm SL and the largest 65mm SL, most are a sandy base colour, but some of the smaller, slimmer ones are more orangey. Some also have a speckled p...

I'm in the UK and have only seen them in a shop once, but honestly never looked for them except the time I was told about them by the shop I got them from! I suspect they...

Good luck!

Thank you! I'll watch their import list and reach out to them, maybe they have some still laying around in the back or something.

Hi, this is my first post here. I'm hoping someone might be able to help point me in the right direction to find some of the Akysis species, or better yet, have some available for sale (or trade).
