Myleus schomburgkii Red-Salmon

13. November 2015

The
Black-banded silver dollar, Myleus schomburgkii, is bred for quite a
long time already in Southeast Asia. So it was a mere question of time
when – after the “Lamax” (see http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/news/Myleus_sp_LAMAX_III_en/)
– additional artifical sports would appear in the market. Nevertheless
the fish we now received from Singapore left us a bit speechless: we did
not expect such a brilliant bright salmon red!

However,
as it is our first importation of that fish we can cite only our
supplier, who says that the fish will keep this colours. Currently our
specimens are 5-7 cm long.

For our customers: the fish have code 270493 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
