Hi guys, just picked up some new fish a couple of days ago and thought I would share :headbang2. I already had 2 oscars, a datniode, 2 birchirs, and 2 pike characins. The new guys are the flagtail, electric blue pulchers, shovelnose catfish, black ghost knife fish, and the angelfish. The angelfish were sort of a gamble; my girlfriend fell in love with them at the petshop so I had to choice . Anyways, so far the angelfish are doing fine, and in fact all fish are living peacefully together without any agression towards each whatsoever. The BGK is a big guy, about 12 inches, and not shy at all! :naughty:

The total stocking of my 180g is now:
5x Angelfish
2 x oscar
2x boulengerella maculata
2x electric blue pulcher
2x polypterus senegalus
1x lima shovelnose catfish
1x datniodes microlepis
1x semaprochilodus taeniurus
1x black ghost knife fish

I still feel like I'm kind of missing something in there, but I don't know what. Enough amazing fish on this forum that might inspire me though :).

To be honest their customer friendliness is pretty ****ty, they are not nice people at all. It seems like they are just after your money and don't really care about the fish. The fish I've bought there were underfed, and they give bad advice regarding the care for fish, and the sizes that you can keep in your tank. I overheard the salesguy trying to sell an aligator gar to someone with a 180 liter tank, and they've also tried to convince me into buying fish incapable of fitting in my aquarium. Luckily for me (and for the fish), I'm always well informed about a fish I want to keep before I go out and buy it. It is, however, one of the few places in Holland where u can buy unique aquarium fishes, and that is the only reason I go there.

Thanks for the heads up, I know we don't have much exclusive fish dealers/shops.
Sometimes I see another guy in Utrecht with some exclusive fish.
