Hello.

I just recently lost my electric blue fryeri to malawi bloat yesterday He was turning out to be quite a specimen, with a nice deep blue colour coming out (none of that light blue )

Anyways, my local fish shop didnt have any at sexing size and i want to be sure i get a male (specifically a male that will most likely end up show quality).

Anyone have an juvie electric blues then? (probably around 5-8cm ish would be prefered).

PS. It must be showing or starting to show a nice blue colour and if possible, the male parent must be a nice looking specimen

Give Mark at Atlantis Aquariums a call, 93147454.

I was there today and he has some very nice looking, sexable, Blues...not colour-fed and from a source he knows, so he can provide some history about the fish too. And for the size of them the price was fantastic.

HTH

Thanks maz, i'll give them a call tommorow. Unfortunately a while away (1:10min if i catch the bus :s). Ah well, least its on the circle-route. I'll let you know how it goes and whether any are satisfactory

I went and got a nice fryeri for $20 (bit steep for me, but hes like 10cm and mostly coloured). Thanks again maz.

Glad you got what you wanted...price is relative, I find I don't mind the cost as long as I get what I paid for.
The 6-8cm blues that I saw in the tank looked good but I must've missed the guy you grabbed.
