I think horai sounds the more interesting species (I'll await a photo from sojapat if possible, as google is proving unsuccessful)

Hi all,
As its now less than a week to the convention i'd thought i'd just give you all an update on some of the stock aqualife has got in at the moment in advance of the shop visits some of you have organised for the friday/weekend.
They do specialise in corys so heres a few examples:-
C.semiaquilis, C.loxozonus, C.duplicareus, C.davidsandsi, C.virginiae, C.robineae, C.pulcher, C.oiapoquensis, C.reynoldsi, C.gomezi, C.imitator, S.barbatus, S.prionotus, B.britskii.
They've also just had a good shipment of plecs in which include:-
L66, L128, L129, L134, L199, L200, L204, LDA01, Hypoptapoma sp, royal plecs.
This is really just a few of the cats they'll have in, and when speaking to steve(the owner, who is also a memeber of the CSG) he did say he was expecting a few more bits and pieces to come in before next weekend.
I hope this helps.
Col.

Nice one - very considerate of you to check for us all
Even though Corys & L nos aren't my thing, there are a couple of my faves in there, worth checking out!

Nor am I paranoid .. Just Annoyed ..
I have no problem with the CSG or its members .
I do not think that Mr Fuller's (Chairman of CSG)comments were acting in a very proffesional manor considering that we have supported the group .
I promise to keep it fishy next time I visit .. Ta Ta
Thanks Neil, I appreciate it's got a lot of folks hot under the collar. I'm just looking forward to seeing all these fish. I'll probably drop in Weds or Thursday evening.
See everyone else at around noon at BAS on Friday! Anyone wearing pink carnations?

Just back from Pier this evening. I think we will be spending quite some time there tomorrow - some great fish just arriving as I was there and the Argentinian shipment isn't even in yet... If you're into loaches, barbs, puffers, spiny eels and Channa you'll also be quite excited about the fish there.
The Glyptothorax and Caeloglanis are very nice too. On top of the usual excellent array of South Americans. I hope to post a list of the recent shipment soon.

Hi again
Well Jools it was very enjoyable talking to you this afternoon, and I look forward to exchanging fish with you in the next 2 to 3 months.

Homaloptera yunnamensis, Yunnan Hillstream Loach
Acanthiopsis choirorhynchus, Horseface Loach
Akysis vespa (Burmese), Orange Micro Bumble Bee Catfish
Kryptopteris bichirrus, Glass Catfish

Fire Eels
Bala Tri Colour Shark
Acrochordonicthys rugosus

These are the arrivals this week and as you pointed out in you latest post, the Argentinian shipment arrives tomorrow evening.
I would also add that there are quite a few other Corydoras and LNo's from previous shipments, including large L200 Hi Fin and large L128, L340 plus numerous Royals.
Anybody who chooses to visit, just enjoy.
Peace and Love

Just to bring the curtain down on this thread, here's two videos of five, £500 plecos at Pier Aquatics.
