This in reference to Dicrossus Maculatus. Has anybody really seen any of these fish? In the past year, I know of two dealers that have brought in Dicrossus Maculatus only to be disappointed by the fish actually turning out to be the more commonly available D. filamentosa. I haven't been doing much shopping in the past couple months and am wondering if the true maculatus has finally turned up. Ed, Contact Randy Carey via this list. He had a spawn of these fish. They are true maculatus. http://www.spacestar.net/users/carey/fishroom/ carey@spacestar.net OR Martha Clark at WET PET in Southfield, Michigan The Phone number at the store where she works is 248-559-2858. No personal affiliation. I spoke with her regarding obtaining some Dicrossus maculatus fry. She has the real thing however She did not seem to want to part with the fry just yet. But it is a possibility!!!
