hi there,

I am currently working at tropicalfish.co.uk
We specialise in cats and plecs.

At present we have 2 large (25-35cm) L025 scarlets in stock.
We do ship via courier which is a next day before noon service

You can check out our website, but this needs some serious updating.

Let me know if I can help any further

Cheers
Stu

I have L-025

Hey Thomas W,

Tell me more about your tank that houses a Scarlet; size, filtration, substrate, deco etc. Pics would be an absolute God-send.

Also what your experiance can you tell me to do, ie Do's and Dont's.

What I was planning on was getting a couple of them with some driftwood. But this seems a bit sparse. Was wondering how can you house reclusive fish so you can see them.

Thanks

Ron

hey Stuey,

Sorry for not making my post a bit more clearer. I wasn't after someone who could sell me one. I was after someone who has experience in keeping them. I do however already have your web-page marked in my favourites B4 you posted. Thx.

Ron

Well as you know this loricariidae can grow big and can be very aggressive to other pseudacanthicus. I have heard that L-025 and L-160 (Pseudacanthicus spinosus) Is the most aggressive loricariidae's you can get. So i hope you dont have to many of them in a small aquarium.
This loricariidae is also very hard to keep, beside of other loricariidae's. You have to have a temperature between 25-27 celsius, I prefer 26. The pH shall be between 6.0 and 7,0. I keept mine in 6.5.
And before you buy some of this fish i will give you a advice. Lock at their eyes. If the eyes is sunken into the head you better not buy it. This tells that the fish won't eat, and thats a very bad sign. Also check under theri stomach. They must have a big stomach and not a flat one. This also shows you that the fish hasent eaten for a long time.

Sorry that im not so well speaking english
