New want list

[fwprawn]

If you guys will remember, I had a list of fish I was looking for - I have found some of them, and here is what is left to find: Will update as I think of more. Will pay for shipping, or will drive considerable distances - and let me know if you have seen them at a local store. I'm in Mass.

Albino Black Sharks
Climbing Perch (Not wild colored)
Shortnose Gar
New wants:
Silver Dollar with a black bar down the middle (There are several kinds - I don't care which - small)
Red Hook Met (small)

Yup. Try Puppy center in West Hartford......many many tanks and some cool exotics....also be sure to check out Aquatic wildlife in manchester-a true class act! All stores within about a 45 minute circle around Hartford. Emmons and Aquatic wildlife are classier.....Puppy center has the selection.....especially cichlids and larger stuff.

Good luck!! Emmons also has some nice size AT dats for 28 bucks......They also have a large male red hook in the one of the large back tanks.....Emmons has the best decor section of any LFS I have seen....pricey though!

Will let you guys know how it goes! Any last minute additions? (there, or in between ? )

Well....how was your journey?????

Just got back from putting the new fish in! Stopped by a few places!
Here's what I got today... (The Red Hooks were $20 - wow... no thanks)

Unknown Tilapia - Brown, red throat, typical Tilapia shape.
Another pink tilapia which turns out to be another male. argh!
Tropheus moori
Hoplo Cat fish and another catfish
Distichodus - affinis? Solid silvery gray, dark spot in dorsal - not sure if it's affinis, but he's a beauty.
Leoprinus arcus with tons of red, yellow, and black striping.
2 gold severums - solid yellow, without the red (my preference)

One of the guys said something about "Wet Pets" - and another store that is right near by there - both of which are in Vernon? Any info on those places (And any other places???)
