I really want one or two female blue phantoms but the stores don’t know the sex if they even have them. I also have been on the search for sultan plecos with no success. I live in Canada. Any suggestions or ideas!
I’m not sure how to sex the blue phantoms personally as I am not well versed in them. I would buy a group of randoms and hope for at least male and female. One way might be to look at the width of the head, wider Is male usually.
I see them at big als frequently, I see them at other various lfs around here. So no short supply. I haven’t ordered fish online but did see them with one Canadian vendor, I’d have to go look for it again. Not sure if you can request a specific sex?
Good luck finding sultans, I’ve seen them available twice...both were with other aquarists that were re-homing. I’ve not seen them in stores. are they now on the banned import list? Or maybe they are only imported at certain times of the year?
