The group buy was being planned only for NCR guys, but it seems nobody is interested now

Those were picked up from Nirav.

I have been looking for them too, for at least three years! But getting very few.. Dear Anuragsonik obliged me wiht one, then i found two of good quality on sale by chance, but they need to be in a group to be happy i guess. Anway, would be so glad to find a dozen or so, the ones i got from Nirav on being directe to him by Abhishek, were unfortunateluy albinos only. They don't look half as good as the lovely natural form. It is a veyr special species, extinct in nature basically... thought they did try to find more populations. but those are not identical to this species entirely. Let me know if u find them again...

Vijendar also gave me two males once, but i dont know why they didn't do well... He also tried to get them from Pune, but the airways forced him to ask his father to take it back from the airport!

it is a hardy species otherwise but needs fish of its own size and temperament for company. Maybe it was too hot then.... sigh! It also likes a lot of plant cover, that time i had just crypts and they didnt offer that much refuge to them. My 'bad luck' species, i guess

@ Romi - my interest in the fish particularly grew after watching this scape - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JjRLqTxGQs (you might already have seen this)

I am guessing that for fishes of this kind, being in a group matters more than anything, so one would have to have a group of 10-12 at least.

I hate the airports from the core of my - they wont let you carry anything - last time I spotted a group of knight gobies (they look so awesome) in Patna and couldn't carry back home. It was a breaker - I always travel by railways now (works for me as its a 12 hrs night journey).
