I'm adding a few more pics here. I don't have a price on the discus or the gobies yet. I'll get that on Monday. Give some consideration to these archers. This is a true freshwater species that is actually collected above a waterfall so they are absolutely not brackish. They can grow to 16" in length. The Parauchenoglanis punctatus is a good-looking West African catfish that can also grow to 16". The gobies spend their adult lives in freshwater but the eggs are washed into the ocean where they hatch and the juveniles spend some time. The juveniles are particularly colorful. If you're into smaller fish, you may want to try some of the semaphore tetras, Pterobrycon myrnae. The males of this Costa Rican species have specialized scales that they wave to attract the females. Yes, the things sticking up are scales, not fins! The white on the tip seems to be an egg mimic and females will snap at them. It's a fascinating species and the fish available are tankraised.

Hey All,
Please try to get any orders from this list to me by the end of the weekend. I'm hoping to get the next shipment in on 2/19. The fish would be ready to ship out the following week.
Thanks,
Mark
I got some more pics from Germany today so I'm posting them. There are some blue head heckels mixed in with the largest size of Jatapu heckels. They also now have tankraised Hemiloricaria beni in stock. I'll have a price on those on Monday.

About the only thing you might find around that price point are the teacup rays. I won't order them as they have a notoriously poor survival rate. I prefer to get rays that are big enough to handle the stress of capture and time spent at the collector's and exporter's facilities. The key is that they neeed to be beefy enough to go without food until they get to the US or to Germany and that usually means larger, more expensive rays.
