This never gets old , and I don't know how many times your channel has blown my mind along the last couple of years !!! Please when you have time and if you could do another fish unboxing 🌊
Cenepa is in PERU 🇵🇪 , in the border line with ecuador 🇪🇨 in middle where the mountains transform in Amazon jungle , actually very close to the cost of Pacific Ocean
Y'all do a most excellent job of quarantining/ acclimating, especially for the more persnickety species. Otos, for example, are collected by the.many thousands and treated as a disposable product. You approach species as a unique entity. That means sometimes they aren't affordable forme but the three shipments have been flawless and another is being budgeted for.
I rescued a shovel nose catfish and couldn't catch it with anything so last resort was a net well i should of just got spined n done it by hand, it got stuck n o cut the net obviously but it do a little damage to its dosal fin.
Hi Dan, greetings from Ireland. I have been breeding pencils for few years already and got these new variants recently as well. All I can say, the wholesalers are only sending the males. I can confirm by looking at your cenepa and Amaya tank that you don’t have any females either. It’s so difficult to get and identify the females as they are sisters with red coral pencilfish. Have you had the chance to notice this with your fish or have you ever chatted about it with your wholesaler?
I wish supplies would not only sell one sex to other people in the hobby. They do this so only they can have the market on selling them. Myself I would never buy from sellers that do it on purpose and that amount of fish to not have a female is on purpose by seller. Dan I been watching some videos from you as well as that 3 hour tour someone else made about your shop. You're an amazing seller and your love and passion for the hobby shows! Wish nothing but happiness to you and your family and shop.
They were selling Strawberry peacocks at Petco. They are female dragonblood (Aulonocara) peacocks. I bought one for $5 not knowing what it was and I went back later and saw that it was a tank of females but I saw one male. I explained to the Petco girl that I wanted that one male and another female. Well she netted three fish and I was a little confused but I took the three. Turns out she found two males so now I had two of each. Fast forward to the present and I sold/donated the two males to LFS and I have about 50 babies:)
Rumors are that Cenepa and Amaya pencils have nothing to do with those localities. They are used as a conventional labels so as to hide the true location of the fish. If that's true, it's probably a good idea.
I’ve bought 40+ Super Red Cenepa Pencilfish and got 1 female…. Lol Needless to say I’m in dire need of at least 2 more. Do you have any female Cenepa? They should have no color at all.
Impossible to find females at the moment and no clear identification yet except they should have no red on tails and dorsal fins . By looking at the video, Dan doesn’t have any females ( as far as I can see )
Wow! I love those pencil fish ❤
I honestly love your videos, unusual species and very well informed host, thank you for your great work and content!!
Great video! Thanks Dan!
Beside being a good aquarist he's also a great salesman. Awesome and interesting fishes...
Beautiful fish, many are new to me!
These gorgeous pencilfish are at the top of my bucketlist!

It's official--my mind is blown! 🤯
All good.
So cool to see all the new fish -- thanks, Dan and the team!
Those red tail glass tetra and orange tetra are STUNNING! I'm deadset curious to know what species the orange tetra are!
Holy guacamole, those Corys!!! 🤍🖤🤍 way too cute!! All of them!!
And Jonny is right, the red pencils are for sure a mini salmon!! ❤️
Exellent work on the B roll. Video skills have leveled up! ❤❤❤
The pencil fish remind me of sockeye salmon

Hi Dan, what water parameters do you keep your wild caught South American fish in? Thanks

Yep, ours seem very male heavy for sure

Just got some of the rio tegres how many do you recommend in a group I bought 6!
The more the better. Six is a good start.

I don't think we have females.
@@Pixellance yea I was hoping maybe that wasn’t the whole tank and some fish were hiding.
@@DansFish looks like I might have to get some Amaya’s.
