If you'd all care to look at the updated list, I think you'll agree that this is the most varied and interesting list of offerings we have had in years.

 

I will be clearing a tank for some of these to go in!

[sandgroper]

Not sure i agree with listing something if the owner doesn't know what it is ( synodontis ? )

[MattyB]

yeah im with you sandgroper, for all we know its a hybrid

[MattyB]

going to be a awesome auction, 12 days to go!

[Terry]

2 of these fish were found in a shipment imported as S. nigroventris via Bay fish the other came in as S.multipunctatus. Yes it's possible that they are hybrids and should be culled but who would cull a fish that could be a species and the only ones in the country. There isn't anybody in Au that is qualified and has the resources to Id these fish.

I have some fry from my Synodontis sp.2 that I could bring to the next auction, these are an unnamed species from Lake Tanganika.

"Not named" sorry you miss out.

 

Cheers Terry

 

PS

All 3 are different so should not be bred

Sorry Terry I was just having a nag a little while ago as I had some Malawi that look 100 percent what they should be but didn't want to label  as a pure breed due to they were in a community tank (wouldn't even let me enter if I labeled them feeders)

[sandgroper]

Terry why not wait a couple of more months and ask Ad Konings if he can ID them for you. If the expert can't ID them then no one can, worth the wait in my view. You may be sitting on a gold mine or then again may be nothing.

[Terry]

There is only one of each fish so they are not of any use to me, they are large adults which will go well in a display tank.

[Kleinz]

Reminder : You have less than a week to go before bookings close, peoples. Anything coming in later than Friday night will be too late.

PS: I personaly use 2 of these units for my fish and I find them EXCELLENT, they are great for soft water species like discus, apistos, angelfish and more!!! Or they can even be used for african cichlids that like hard water and a high ph, by adding mineral salts back to the water. With using RO water you do not need to add water conditioner!!!!!

Sorry for the bad pics:
