HELP NEEDED : local availability - Endler's & Colisa chuna

["Hess, Clay A" <clay.a.hess@boeing.com>]

Good Morning,

Can any of you possibly help Betty in her search for the subject fish?  I am 
unaware of where one might go to find these fish, but, am hoping one of you can 
offer some hope.

Thanx,

Clay Hess

Subject: local availability - Endler's & Colisa chuna 


I have been chatting with a member of the Greater Seattle Aquarium
Society and she suggested I contact a board member with this inquiry.
I'm looking for a couple
pairs of Endler's livebearers and 4-6 wild-type Colisa chuna (or C. sota
depending
on who you read <G>). If I can get one pair of the wild-type phenotype
C. chuna that would be perfect but I'm willing to raise up a group
hoping for at least one pair. Any suggestions?

Local shops seem to carry only the mutant strains of lemon or flame
chuna and look at me blank faced when I ask for the wild-type.  I was
warned away from Fish Gallery & Pets in Renton as a source for Endler's
and it was suggested that a local hobbyist would be a better source
(shrug). Again....any suggestions are welcome.
