@Saul: Pictures are in the post...

@Rita: Do you have any more detail as to where in Brazil they were exported from? Also, did the other fish come from the same exporter or someone else? [And I fully understand that you may not be able to get that information, but if I don't ask, we definitely can't know!]

If you think about the 4 "Rio Itaya" they come from a different shipment, from Peru.
We are waiting for more info about the location of the sp. Blue.

Yesterday we received a mail from Ingo Seidel, these fish are L055.
It's great to have the correct ID :D

Please e-mail the pictures to me - we only have a single picture of L055. Yes, I know, I have a long queue of pictures that I'm still working through, so I haven't got to the other ones you have already sent me...
