Anyone visited Pier lately?
As Alex is going to try to do me a big favour and Neil is probably way too busy to see my mail in time, here's a question for the Pier regulars: could anyone tell me if he still has Tetranematichthys (females) in stock?
Many thanks in advance.
Marc
Many thanks in advance.

Pls don't apologize. You have a business to run and your spare time (if any) is valuable I gather.
Thanks very much!

Neil, I'm the nutter who's likely to pull this stunt, but IF I can make it work; I won't be there before 28-29th of august......
I don't know how fast these beasties sell

Re: Anyone visited Pier lately?
The whole thing may become academic, as the male specimen is showing the same behaviour as the second female: breathing rapidly with occasional "hick-ups". It's still laying in one place - contrary to floating at the surface - but I must now conclude that this species is sensitive to being handled too much in a relative short time.
While typing this it darted away...... and is now sitting near the surface.
Incredible that a fish that seemed so healthy yesterday (most likely) won't make it till tomorrow
Nevertheless Neil, I'd still like to know what you have. Thanks in advance.

Re: Anyone visited Pier lately?
Neil has offered me a pair which I gladly accepted, but after some second thoughts and a discussion with Alex I had to cancel. It's currently to risky in several respects.
I'd like to thank Neil for his generous offer and I hope to visit Pier Aquatics myself in the near future.
