dang!
Awwh! I think that that panaque suttoni was sold to ur LFS by an old fish hobbyist!
or It was mistakenly added into a shipment...
How many did ur LFS had? only one?

Hi!
For the one in Singapore: I think a farm have Panaque suttonorum on his stock list.
Any one can affirm that they are the real or should I say the former real Panaque suttonorum
Cheers

will drop by the place to check out the real situation.
but based on reliable sources, the shipment came together with a bunch of weird south american fishes. and some regulars have oredi reserved a couple of the blue eyes from the next shipment. hopefully its the start of better things to come.

went to check it out.
indeed, a 5-6 inches specimen was sold for $180 singapore dollars.
no idea when the new shipment will arrive.
u guys out there better check with LFS if there are blue eyes in ur vincinity.

Hi !
Here is what i found doing some surfing !
It is a stock list of a Czech exportator, I don't know if he has all the fishes but if you look down to Panaque , you will find one as Panaque Suttoni
http://www.tropic.cz/CATFISH.htm
So Hormones bred Panaque sp "Blue Eyes" or another Loricariidae that has nothing to do with it.
Cheers

As beatiful as this fish is...when you read Sidguppys thread and check out the pictures of the fully grown fish, the question arises if you can privide proper housing for this monster. And im certain that most people cant if a 400 litre tank is too small....
Just my 2c

Man ! I was prepared to put him in my current 6'x2'x2.5' and the only tankmates will be my existing L025, L024, L14a, L27a, L114,L155 and L007. The rest of my collection will be transferred to some existing 4' footers.
