Finding cpd, edd, and sawbwa barb in perth

Post by eleNt »

I'm planning to stock my Lake Inle biotope with a mix of celestial pearl danios, emerald dwarf danios, and a smaller group of Sawbwa barbs. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find these fish in Perth, specifically the Sawbwa barbs?

I found Celestial Danios at Pet Magic in Cannington about a fortnight ago, they were quite small, about 10mm, and were priced at $35 each.

Most pet stores in Perth source their fish from Aquarium Industries and Premier Pet. Some also import their own stock from overseas suppliers like Vebas, Aquotix, and Living Pictures. You could try contacting them to see if they can notify you when new stock arrives.

It's worth keeping an eye on the suppliers' websites, Aquarium Industries posts a weekly stock list on their site, and Premier Pet has a live fish listing. If you see the fish you're looking for, you can ask your local pet store to order it in for you.

I messaged Aquotix through their site to see if they've got the emerald dwarf danio. I'm still waiting for their response. I'll check the supplier lists again this week and ask the local pet shops to order them in if they appear.
