After Richard B mentioned he'd seen Doradidae sp(1) at the above, I emailed them and they have come back and confirmed they have the same fish in stock. It's at least an hour's drive for me, so before I plan a trip over there, is there anyone closer to me that's planning on a visit and wouldn't mind picking up one or two of these for me?
They have them listed as
.
Thought it worth a try
Thanks

Oh, why now? I'd love to come, but seeing as I have tanks to install before the CSG conference, which is only about two weeks away, I don't think I can make it before then.
Unless you were thinking middle of week and I can get a day off work?

I'm in no hurry, don't think they'll sell out of them anytime soon. I'm still trying to find time to take a Wednesday afternoon off to go to NHA, so not sure if I'll ever find time to take time off for two trips, let alone 1!
I suppose I could do both in one day if it's a Wednesday - Wholsale in the morning, and then off to NHA in the afternoon...
Got me thinking now!

Sounds like half a plan - and by the way, if you make your way to my house (or someone nearby where it's safe to stash the car) we can car-share from there.

If you do go, let us know what else they have, synos etc. I haven't been there in a while. I did see those doradids on my last trip and was very tempted.

I'd love to but too short a notice i'm afraid. Sorry, got the ball rolling then blew you out!
But yes please do let me know re: the caudal stripes.
Looking forward to the trip report!
