Resurrecting an old thread ... I've been looking out for Chocolate Gouramis for a few weeks now, with no success. Has anyone seen any for sale anywhere recently ? Even my wholesale supplier cant get them 🙁

Thanks
Tony

Hey tony, they have them in wheatcroft garden centre at the moment in Nottingham. Bit far out of the way from you, but I have seen them in there.

Colin Dunlop (The Fish Hut) up here in Scotland has just got back into action after a winter hibernation and had some in his last shipment I believe. Probably gone by now but they'll be on his lists if you can't find them elsewhere (he posts).

Thanks guys, I'll give The Fish Hut a try. Ian, is the shop in Wheatcroft an MA ? If so I might be able to get the guys at my MA to order some from their supplier.
I'll let you know how I get on.

Yes mate, it's the MA at wheatcroft. They also have vailantis in also.

I saw some today in Clearwater Aquatics in Leicester. Not very close to you Tony, but they were nice looking specimens if any-one in the area is looking.

THanks for the tips guys, I got a shoal of 16 in today 🙂

There awesome little fellas, I believe they are the Sphaerichthys Selatanensis variety, commonly known as Crossbands, or Cherry Chocolate Gourami. Pics once they've settled

Very nice, these are still quite near the top of my 'one day' list.

Where did you get them from in the end?

 

[Tony Swinney]

From a wholesaler I have used in the past - had to hit a minimum order so I'm fully stocked now 🙂

Yeah 16 is a good number, should be lovely to watch.
