hope the Megalodoras finds a new home as well

It's a very likeable fish, despite the size.

Yes. I was interested in the false Jags (but lack of tank-space due to overflow of Ancistrus makes me hesitate a lot). If I could just get rid of a bunch of the bristlenoses in my top 4ft tank, I think they would be happy there. Or in my empty hospital/quarantine tank, if I unmake it a hospital/quarantine... ;)

Am sure there ar eplenty of people who would take bristles off you, it's just a shame you don't have an LFS that will give you something for them.
Considering how quickly the Sturisoma went, am sure you'd have plenty of interest, especially at the same sort of prices!
Am sure you can find the space :D

I don't mind playing gopher on this one - at least some part of it, if I can make space for them.

Matt: How big are they?

What L's have you got going?
Q) Why are dead fish harder to 'wind up' than live fish?

I know Matt has been on since these posts, though he does not seem to have responded to questions asked (unless via PM, then apologies) so I don't think anything has been organised.

Aside from my car having had a little prang, which means that it's not drivable at the moment (or at least, I wouldn't want to drive it very far) :oops:
Technical detail is that I got hit from the side, and the front wheel alignment is enough out of wack that you can't see the speedo for the steering wheel when going in a straight line, and it sort of squeels when you drive along because the front wheels are fighting each other to go in a straight line - it gets even more interesting with bumps, when one wheel tries to veer off, as the other one lets go! ;)

Not sure when that will be fixed - I haven't even spoken to the Garage yet...

Ooops, with my hectic lifestyle, as in I am hardly ever home, I completely lost thought of this topic, Anyway I am here for a good while now so feel free to talk amongst yourselves and when you know whats going down Post here and someone PM me.

All the Xingu cats are gone.
I have available three false Jags, and two Milessi chaetostoma, biggish. The litle chaetostoma have possibly found a local solution.

If you are having trouble with logistics there is a fish courier service that I forget the name of that the guy from Essex koi uses, he had my tigrinus off me and sent this guy round to collect. I cant remember the name of it but he was good, probs cheaper than petrol, And definitely cheaper than the fish would cost you to buy/find.

Does that mean the true jags have gone?
Am still interested in the millesi, and if Mats still wants the false jags, we will talk amongst ourselves and get back to you.
As you say, splitting the cost of a courier may be cheaper than the petrol to drive to and from yours, especially considering MatsP's car situation!
Slightly OT, but hope you are OK Mats.
