I remember ten years ago, Aqua Traders used to be Aqua 123 in Burlingame, CA..It was a wholesale place open to the public and it was huge..I got some good deals and some rare fishes there at almost wholesale prices..I liked the selection..

Can anyone collect 2 quality red tail giant gourami for me? I've been searching everywhere, but can't locate them. I prefer the juvenile one's (size under 6 inches). You can charge me whatever you want. PM me if you can help. I am located in san jose north. Thanks.

I think that Hung Ming (Pet Central) in Chinatown in San Francisco has the adult Giant Redtail Gourami..Here is a picture of the Gourmai, sixth picture down..These pics are from another member...

I know that they can grow huge...But yea, it sure looks like the picture..How many species of Boulengerella are there that looks like the picture?

I have the Boulengerella maculata (Spotted Pike Characin) in my tank that looks different..

The ones at Hung Ming aren't bicudas..They're just maculatas..

The ones at Hung Ming aren't bicudas..They're just maculatas..

I bought a maculatas the other time at Hung Ming..There is a clear difference in what I saw..Maculatas has spots...The ones they are selling now, don't have any spots.

At Hung Ming they were selling one of these and they were selling another kind with no spots and a red tail...Well I am tired of arguing...I enjoy life and my fishes...If you think they are selling maculatas which I have two in my tank, more power to you..

Well then, by all means, go and enjoy life!
