Porthole catfish

[gvildawg]

I am looking for the porthole catfish (dianema longibarbis) or flagtail porthole catfish (dianema urostriata). If you have them or know where I can find some I would greatly appreciate it. I have never seen any for sale on Aquabid or anywhere else.

If you can't find them elsewhere (or your lfs won't help):

Thanks for the tip. I've been to a number of sites but I'd never run across that one before.

For future reference, 'most any available fish will turn up on a google search, just use +stock after the name (common or latin).

Flagtails in NJ

I found Flagtails at a local petshop up here in jersey.

The local petshop situation here is weak to say the least. We have Petsmart, Petco, Petland and a couple of local shops that don't seem to have much of anything. I'll almost certainly have to mailorder if I want these fish.

My PetSmart just started carrying them this past week, which means your local store probably will as well. They are priced at $9.99 each. Hope that helps.
