Moke and RTC?

[Infblue]

i also had a look at the two mokes they imported, both are around 4".
The mokes were VERY cheap for poly's here in iceland. They were $68 a piece. Ornates, Delhezis, Laps and Endlis are much more expensive here.

i'm sure you know how to ID them, but i just have to ask, you sure they're mokes? I'm really surprised they'd be cheaper than the other species you mentioned, considering bichirs are hard to come by where you are to begin with. The other species you mentioned are farm bred, and the individuals imported are probably the farm bred ones, moke however is still wild caught only. you should pick them up if they're really mokes, but since they're very slow grower, you would have to plan your tankmates carefully though.

btw congrats on the rtc. i had one a long time ago. they look so cute when small, and grow soooo fast!

I went down to the lfs today and picked up the rtc, tiny little thing, little bigger than 2", i also had a look at the two mokes they imported, both are around 4".
The mokes were VERY cheap for poly's here in iceland. They were $68 a piece. Ornates, Delhezis, Laps and Endlis are much more expensive here.
Even the RTC was more expensive.

If i had known sooner that they were gonna import a mokes i definately would have ordered them instead of the rtc. NO DOUBT


You really don't think i know that? When it grows out the 125 he will go to another home.


Thanks Steve, i will post pics of him and my tank in the photo lounge. I can pm you a link if you want when i make the thread.

Also, do you still have that stunning tig?

You make a good point.


I know.. i kind of regret ordering the rtc. Still, everytime i look at his pretty little face i instantly forget the moke. Cutest thing ever!



Thank you all for your comments.

I know how you feel about the cute face, I had one too and the behavior when there young and eatting out of yyour hand is worth the experience, but soon that cute face will become a monster, not a monster that you can keep with friends lol.
