Aussie Harlequin Tusk

[eg8r210]

I have been patiently waiting for one of these little buggers in the 2-3" range. I have been told by one of the LFS here that I probably will never see one that size from Aus and that the ones being shipped here are all much bigger. Any chance this is not necessarily true?

Divers den get them in what seems to be stages. They will get one juvenile and then it seems like there are a few others that follow in the following days. If you are set on this size, I would just patiently wait and keep checking on divers den plus you get the added benefit of the 14 day guarantee.

I got mine from divers den although larger than the size you are looking for, and he is doing great a year later. Best of luck on your hunt

Your LFS is legit. I work at a major fish wholesaler and only larger ones are coming out of Aussie land. The smaller ones will come in from elsewhere.

I bought a small Aussie at around 3 inches about 8 months ago but Im slowly thinking its an indo. Its just so hard to tell when they're juvis so unless you're buying from a reputable dealer you really don't know. If I were to buy another harlequin I would get it from Live Aquaria like Albino suggested.
