Eh, Shangai's a bit too far for me to come and get it...
But I would go to extreme length for one of those.

Where u located? If it's not illegal then u can import it heheh

 

[Madou]

Belgium, it is perfectly legal, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I'm a bit iffy on importers from asia, never actually have done it, so I don't know the good and trustworthy ones.

 

[greenerinks]

lol I hear ya, they are pretty available here so whenever you do want to try. Shouldn't be that difficult, the fish trade is strong in Asia.

Update of my channa diplogramma

 

[Dieselhybrid]

The blue tail is simply stunning! Gorgeous fish. Years ago before the ban in USA I owned many Micropeltes. These Diplogramma appear very similar. Are they closely related species?

 

[Madou]

Damn dude, mine are starting to show some blue when I use white light but this... I absolutely love the tail color

Dieselhybrid They have been thought to be a variety of micropeltes if I am not mistaken. They are a very different species however, in color, and most importantly size.

Speaking of size, think we could get a picture next to a ruler or your hand or a banana (banana for scale xD)?

Would help me compare to the size of mine!
