    Fantastic video Paul, some great quality fish there, everything looked super healthy fat and sassy! They look like the Leporinus fasciatus but seem a little more mottled so possibly a hybrid! Pier have done the super rare Red Banded several times but they sell like hot cakes so we haven't been able to get any yet :( What a great day out that looked like!!

    I'd love a blackwater set up with discus, angels, tetras and plecos. Personally, I love checkerboards. I think pier offer a massive range of fish for Amazonian set-ups I think one of the things we need in this country is an aquarium shop that has a great social media presence and a website to match.

      @@bigfishlad4847Ste is, definitely. He often talks about setting up other shops but I reckon once he starts plugging his website he'll fly online. That's not a criticism BTW, I appreciate that you have to work on one thing at a time. My local shop said the same thing. But my argument is that's you're potentially turning your customer base from local to national. Plus the cost of postage is what people spend in petrol anyway.

    Dear Paul:
    I don’t often watch footage, of pet shops. The shaky hand, of the camera-man; the glare, on the tanks; and, the background noise, are quite annoying. You, however, did a fantastic job, of dealing, with all, these issues. I truly appreciate your, steady hand and the voice-over. This shop has an amazing assortment, of stunning species, and they maintain their tanks, very well.
    Thank you, for sharing, this interesting and engaging video.
    All my best,
    Sincerely,
    E. J. Brinegar

  • @FreshwaterIchthyology
    @FreshwaterIchthyology 6 месяцев назад

    The chubby plecos they are all Parancistrus aurantiacus just not all are gold at the time :) They can be a pain though to identify from the aff. I remember when they were majorly popular people would be sold the cheaper aff. thinking they would turn gold easily and in the same way.
    Typhoon pleco, Pseudacanthicus sp. LDA105. Titanicus kind of grey's out much easier and looks much less distinctive. Like most Loricariids you pay for juvenile to adolescent colouration.
