Larvatus off DD - anybody here get it?

[caribfan]

I'd love to see how this one does long term, it's a fish I'm always tempted by, but have major hesitations with.

Anybody get it?

 

[caribfan]

So 60 no's....

 

[SDguy]

75: Nope.

 

[AuburnTiger1]

87 nyit.

Darn you two, I was excited there for a minute.

I thought about it, but my qt is pretty full.

I found out about larvatus from that dd post. NEW DREAM FISH!!! Did about an hour of research about their care. lol

P.S. And no I have no plans of attempting them in the near future as a newbie, just daydreaming...

I've seen one in person, and they are so gorgeous.

My new dream fish is your avatar!

I think we can conclusively say the owner is not active on RC. Too bad.

I wonder what happened to the one that the guy trained to go into a container and eat. He seemed to have a pretty good understanding of the fish and might have had some longer-term success.

I thought his was 2 years old when he posted. Lots of work he puts in... I assume it's still doing well with that effort!

 

[Dr Colliebreath]

I think he did have it a good bit of time already. Yes, let's hope it is still working for him.

Can you link to that thread, I remember seeing it, but can't seem to find it.

Another one came through yesterday. I was close to pulling the trigger, but i'm going to wait until my Christmas Vacation time.

Anybody?

Ha me too! I looked at it a bunch of times & finally someone made the decision for me. I wanted it, but not badly enough I guess. I was hoping you, Derek or Peter took a shot at it. From the research I've done, I think they might do better in pairs.

Once was enough for me. Not trying again

I hear you Peter - I hate losing fish & my wallet hates losing $$$,:lol:

I've read some of your old threads about your experience & I thought it was highly informative & insightful. The only thing tempting me - the only thing - was that Kevin had it conditioned for almost 30 days. Not that it's bulletproof, but having it eat is a good start.

I hope whoever did get it will post & share their experience too!

I know I've asked you this before, but did you document your attempts with that guy?

I do got a plan/strategy I'm going to try when I get one.
