What fish are not available where you live that you wish were?

Question

for me

dojo loaches

endlers livebearers

bleeding heart tetras

celestial goldfish

Answer 1

Cardinal Tetras, Panda Corys and Rams (had to get mine by mail), and Boesemani Rainbowfish.

I would also appreciate to see some AquaBid halfmoon bettas locally ;)

Answer 2

More varieties of killifish, gouramis, and bettas.

Also, Ctenomas (Asian labyrinth fish).

Answer 3

I tend to have a problem finding yoyo loaches... So i had to get clown loaches. And what do you know, a few days after i bought clowns.. I saw plenty of yoyo loaches :(

I'm in Australia.. I've never seen shrimp for sale in fish stores. We dont have those dwarf frogs either. I've been looking for them, since you guys on here seem to have shrimp and african frogs... But i have no luck finding any..

Thank God we dont have painted and tattooed fish.. they're probably somewhere in Australia, but I havnt come across any yet.

Answer 4

Congo Tetra

Headlight/Taillight Tetra

Answer 5

I wish California would legalize freshwater stingrays...  Potamotrygon orbignyi has to be one of my top 5 dream fish.

Also, Lillian, I can say for sure Petco was wrong-- I've kept both with no trouble, as have MANY others... even breeding them easily.

Answer 6

i find it strange that they wont sell shrimp in our petstores... i asked the petco etc. around my house for glass shrimp or cherry shrimp, and they told me that they wont order any because they die in captivity... i dont believe this is correct...

Answer 7

You almost never see shrimp here for sale although I did see some tiny red ones for $60 each!

I've never seen African dwarf frogs either, or glofish.

(Western Australia.)
