Rare/Exotic Fish Suggestions....

i saw a new species that im sure is pretty rare at my LFS the other day.

it looks like a zebra pleco, strips and all.

but they arent that bright, it wasnt a black/white contrast.

the white was a little yellowish, the black wasnt jet black, just black. hard to explain. COULDVE been a zebra, but it was labelled differently.

im loving the 2 local Big Als i got around my area, they carry the rarest stuff at the best price.
 
mmm, I was liking chinaboy's Altum suggestion. They have all the nobility and grace that's been bred out of those tailless calico midgets with the missing gillcovers. They get to be a foot tall too!...

...but now I notice you're in Florida, Chadley. Limestone. Ex the Farlowellas and Altums! (excuse me, I have such a softwater bent).

Don't we all agree that the most sophisticated way to keep the exotic-looking small Loricariids is to pick one species, keep a bunch of them, and breed them for the market, in order to save the remaining wild ones from being collected out of existence?

(I hope your python is well and fat, living in the pineywoods, and still laughing about how he made his escape that time!...)
 
Im not looking to fill my tank with 20 different species of the weirdest fish I can find. I would however, like to have more than one species. At the most three. Thats why Im asking for suggestions from everyone so I have a wide variety to choose from.

As for my snake....I hope he/she is healthy and alive somewhere hopefully filling it's tummy full of my old neighbor's midnight barkers!! :D
 
Just before my SW tank started haveing problems I was pretty close to buying two seahorses. I just wish I knew a little more of what I was doing and maybe I'd still have it!
 
please dont buy anything rare till your tank is at least one year cycled.
Some congo tetras and some mixed dwarf chiclids (rams) and a redtailed black shark allways make a nice active exotic looking tank.
