No store around here has ever heard of them, and I have googled the hell out of them, but can't find anyone who sells them.

Australoheros oblongum? I have a group of juvies I hope will start spawning soon. Lost my adult breeding pair and over 100 young ones I'd grown out since last August about a month ago. Started with an outbreak of Ich in several tanks after I moved some cutteri around, but something else seemed to hit the oblongums and some of the BN pleco's. The cutteri and other fish recovered as expected with heat/salt treatment, while the oblongum and some of the BN died within a week from something other than the Ich. Some had cloudy eyes like they were blind, their fins and slime coats deteriorated rapidly, then they died. I had sold groups of juvies to a number of people before the wipeout, and most of those have already started spawning, so there are more out there now. Sooner or later I'll have more juvies growing out, but they are a slow-growing species, so not likely to be available this summer.

I shall let toddnbecka know when I'm ready to add fish (Haven't even gotten a tank yet, just getting all my research in).
