Threadfin Cardinalfish

[JackiB]

I am looking to buy a group of threadfin cardinals (Apogon leptacanthus) does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to get them from? I know they are notoriously bad shippers and are hard to get started. I am looking for my best bet to keep the most alive. And anyone that has kept them long term with any suggestions is also greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

I got mine from a LFS and they took PE mysis right away then over time started taking other meaty foods..they still won't touch pellets or flakes

Thanks! I hope mine will be similar, that is all my pj pair eat now so we go through a lot of PE mysis. I asked my lfs to see about getting me some but I never hold my breath when I request stuff. I will probably have to order them.

I've always gotten excellent livestock from LiveAquaria, including threadfins.
