Pseudolaguvia kapuri

Post by Yann »

Hi!!
I saw this species name on a stock list and was wondering what could eventually hide behind that name, not so sure it will be this species as I haven't been able to come across a single pic of the species!!
What is their requirements?
What adult size, food, water parameters, setup ?
Cheers

Value is relative, of course. I wouldn't pay $9 for a fish like that, but that's because something like that would cost less than a dollar where I am now.

Lucky for you HH!!!

$9 doesn't seem bad for a fish which is pretty unusual, here in the UK at least IMO.

HH - good point on value - anything is only worth what someone is prepared to pay!

Hi!!

Sure value is what you are willing to pay, but I have seen some pretty price differences around here for a same fish, differences that can be as much as 4-5 times cheaper or more expensive depending where you 'll get it, since I never saw any of these before...

Cheers
