VIDEO: COMMUNITY TROPICAL FISH

A Selection of Community Tropical Fish in my mates shop in Baker Street in Enfield.


VIDEO: AXOLOTL EGG FACTORY

A video of the almost hatched Axolotl Eggs in my mates shop in Baker Street in Enfield.

I am told that Theloderma corticale have also laid eggs and for once something I am not only interested in keeping but frog-lets of these will live in my Heated Phalaenopsis Orchid Species miniature greenhouse, lol. 



VIDEO: FRESHWATER STINGRAY

A Stingray doing its thing, NO NOT stinging!! LOL!

AXOLOTL EGG FACTORY at PETZOTIC

Well, well, well ... my friends shop in Baker Street in Enfield who bred my old bosses Axolotls has had them breed again! Only this time there are even more eggs than last time?!

Here are a few photos taken VERY recently, so do not go running down there for at least another month for the previous lot to be ready, 8 to 14 weeks for these ones.

Lime Green Line Tetra at Aylesford

Shame about photo, really DO need better camera and more time?!?!

Well at first glance from distance I thought these were very good coloured young Blue Tetra, or sometimes called King Blue Tetra, so yes they were more blue than green.


Possible Young Red Arowana ?!

Bad picture and apologies but at Aylesford Aquatics I saw these and took a photo before rushing out. They caught my eye and I did not even pause to look at the label and do not even know if they WERE labelled...

...but the Orange-Red colour in them made me drag my camera back out my pocket very quickly!

If red Arowana first I have seen not only this size but I did think the red Arowana were of the Asian type but I could be mistaken.


Parancistris zebra - Zebra Pleco

Just the one and obviously captive bred as it was less than 2 inches long. At Aylesford Aquatics and even CB specimens commanding £150!

They were banned from import so these went from an RRP of £400 to £30 and back up to £250 to £300?!

Still cannot be beaten for my money!


Triactus Pleco

Rather Splendid Siamese Fighter

A very attractive Siamese Fighter that caught my eye at Aylesford Aquatics


LIZARD I CANNOT REMEMBER

Cannot recall name of these but very nice specimens none the less!


Aquatic Plant Growth Home Made CO2 UNIT



Home made CO2 Unit using plastic wine glasses from 99p Store, Oil Decanter from 99p Store and some airline along with something I had lying around with suckers on it I think may have been for a cheap filter.








Neon Cory Cats Corydoras

Picture does not do them justice, very orange these were and best examples of this Corydoras from Peru I have seen.

Aylesford Aquatics again!





BANDED PLECOS - Parancistrus





Though I have seen what are sold as Tiger Plecos that are identical other than being more yellow than white this is the first time I had seen these in over 20 years?!

Aylesford Aquatics again and I was very impressed with that store.



STINGRAYS


Some very nice Stingrays at Aylesford Aquatics in Kent!




Axolotl Larva - Ambystoma mexicanum


A friend of mine bred a couple pairs of Axolotls at Petzotic in Baker Street in Enfield.

Little less than in inch currently will be saleable size in about 6 weeks time!


Small Day Gecko - Phelsuma

Could be a young kochii, GIANT, or a small species I am not familiar with but located at Hertfordshire Fisheries again.

Apologies for bad photos which will occur at times but these are always taken in a rush as I am normally out with my brother who works for a Tropical Fish Wholesaler called Tropicali!


Phelsuma kochii


Well kochii or the other one ... madagascarensis?
Hertfordshire Fisheries


Sandfire Bearded Dragon


Now that is what I call a Sandfire Bearded Dragon spotted at Hertfordshire Fisheries in St Albans!



Lacerta lepida from Morocco

Spotted at Hertfordshire Fisheries...

Odd faint blue spots on this Moroccan specimen.
