    [quote=”helene” post=2839]Hi Phil.
    You would be talking about America, right?
    I think in that case possibly many of the species will be rather rare, but as Bartian says here in Europe Opallios is very seldom on the lists. It has been in short periods, like last year, there were some being offered in Sweden at least, and I think another place.
    In the states, though, I think having someone try to make a ‘base’ stock of p. nagyi or linkei would be really valuable as well, because these are extremely attractive species in my opinion. And in a way, though more often available, they are just as ‘rare’ in other ways. No paro species is really that ‘common’ 🙂 even here.[/quote]

    Thanks for the nice reply 🙂

    What I should do is set up 4x 10 gallon tanks and just get a group of 6 of each of the species. I really like the nagyi and linkei too but love the ornaticauda as well. Yes he says he can get me some opallios so we will see if this is true upon arrival which wont be for over a month. If it is a good importer to go through, I will be letting Bill know the rest of the info so he can acquire some more 🙂

    ^^ Seems like you went back and forth on the rare fish a bit.

    I strictly keep rare fish to try and breed for that particular reason> I am making a rare species more available to hobbyist and fish stores locally instead of taking wild caught specimen. From what my guy is saying, I can get those 4 species. I didn’t know the opallios were the most rare but maybe I will pick up a small colony of those too. Thanks for your input.
