Description

One prime young breeding pair of Chilatherina bleheri (more are available). According to Adrian Tappin, this gorgeous rainbow fish is uncommon in captivity and, in 2002 and 2009, this species was listed as threatened by Conservation International and the IUCN respectively. As West Papua industrializes, their habitat is coming under threat. In a few years or decades, they may only survive in our tanks. They were born and bred here in sunny California in our hard/alkaline tap water. They are currently 2-2.5 inches long. The pic was taken today and shows the actual fish you will get. It is a terrible pic, but I figure that if a pic is worth a 1,000 words, then my bad pic is worth at least 500 words. By the way, if you have not got a copy of Tappin�s great book on rainbow fish yet, go here for a free and legal download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ehmtjmkdk ... fishes.pdf By the way, I have my final PhD exams coming up, so I will not be shipping these until Monday, July 26th. If you can't wait that long, please do not bid. Shipping for one pair is $7.00. If you win this auction and want more than one pair, I can ship 3 pairs for $15.00. Thanks for looking and happy bidding! Dan H.

It looks like the above address to the Adrian Tappin book is outdated. This one should work: http://www.mediafire.com/?ehmtjmkdkww
