Hello,

I've been perusing AquaBid for about a month or longer and can't seem to find what I'm looking for which is a Thai Silk FH (male). If it's fry i'll buy two to ensure (hope) one of them is male. Shortbody would be awesome too but no one is selling. Anyone know of a reputable dealer of FH, preferably US based but would consider over seas. Price is no issue; just want a beautiful FH for my empty 150 gallon I just got. Any ideas or points in a direction are appreciated. Where did you get yours?! I know Petzone SD has the fry for a good price but I feel as though those might be low grade? Experience? Ok thanks if anyone can help.

Where you located? Anyways I think aqua scape online has some. I got mine as 1in from lfs, they are very rewarding to grow out, now I'm attached20150512_201845.jpg
 
Get several small ones from pet zone and you will have a good one. Avoid shortbody silk like the plague, the inbreeding required to achieve the silk mutation has created enough issues in the strain adding shortbody to it is a recipe for disaster. I love shortbodies but every sb silk out there is trash.
