Ted, what is DOA?
Your description seems to match with the description of opallios indeed. Of course it could be some other species with reddish parts, but there is some probability it’s opallios indeed.
I think, this is an important message for your fellow-americans to see that there are some more rare species available in the U.S. (because that is the biggest problem over there: most of your colleagues don’t know how to get these fish!) and the shipping does obviously has be done orderly and not harmed the animals very much.
I suggest you should mail this in our American forum too! Maybe the same sender has other species to offer, too.
The other thing is that this is likely to confirm what we knew already: that opallios is presently in trade in different countries, in Europe too. And: P. opallios is not very often in trade. And a third thing: We are definitely at a loss with good photos of that species. So, after some time, have a try!
I wish you success with your new fish. P. opallios is sometimes a bit delicate. I hope the fish you received are healthy and will develop well.
