[Peter Finke]

I wrote that posting since filamentosus is a much wanted species but presently a bit difficult to get hold of, especially outside of the middle of Europe. We have breeders in the project who could offer it (ask our distribution service; see button “distribution”) but not being shipped in winter time mostly. This is different with Tropicwater. Besides, the fish that had been taken to be deissneri erroneously is rather a rare and interesting variant. The disappointment of some people because of this error is understandable but one should see that the true identity of this fish is highly attractive nevertheless. And I know that many people try to buy a single pair; in this case too. With mail orders this is neither intelligent nor possible but it led to a lot of superfluous mailings. I did not write it in order to persuade single persons to buy more fish than their capacity allows. It’s helpful that you supplied that limit, of course.
