Yet another stunning fish blueblue.

May I ask are you just a hobbyist or in the business?

You certainly have a great collection of fish in HK. Are these available from local fish stores or do you import them yourself?

Many of the fish you have featured are extremely rare and often expensive in the UK. I've only seen elizabethae once in a shop here and they were very poor quality and 50UKpounds (approx 90USdollars) for a pair.

The quality of your's are also way better than what we have on sale in aquarium shops here.

People like Peter Lovett are working hard to improve things though :wink:

Hi KenL. Some of my fish are acquired in local fish vendors, some are
imported ^.^.

For elizabethae, 50UK pounds for a pair is NOT that expensive (it of course also depends on quality and sources), especially when you are talking about UK... for the super red F1 eliza in my photos, if one would
like to buy a pair from me, i would also ask for a price of 40UK pounds... and if it is a vendor who wants to make money from my supply, then the retail price should be at least 80UK pounds... so... you see the price is not low...

By the way, when i acquire a pair of german bred super red eliza in Hong Kong, i also need to spend 250-350 US dollars... and the price for a pair of wild caught two-bands (A. Dip.) is of course more than that... so... good fish does not come without cost... ^.^

My goodness, you must be keen. Personally I couldn't afford or justify those prices.

BlueBlue.... What is the substrate you are using in this tank?

it's a kind of aqua-soil substrate, man-made as small red balls... ^.^

Well, imagine the high quality of them, and the happiness of owning them
and breeding them, it will be well-justified ^.^
