    Yep - that's about right for the cost of them down under.

    And for that kind of photo shots - the gears can cost you 6x 3cm L046.

    Awth,

    I was in HK 2006 and found some L046s matured colony for sale in one of the shop at gold fish street and man what a bargain. They were going for $1200hk each. I was very tempted to grab them all but unfortunately I've chicken out due to the restriction on our import. How much did you paid for them if you don't mind me asking?

    They are very nice.

    Cheers
    Hilton

    Thx all.

    Para: I once bought them 10yrs ago, they were only USD25, USD45 8yrs ago, USD70 6yrs ago, then I quited aquarium for couple years until 2 yrs ago, I picked up the hobby again, they were already USD160, I didn't bought any when I had the chance, cos I was thinking I bought them much much cheaper, why I have to over-pay for them now, I waited. 1 yr ago, they went up to USD230, I waited again. Now, for these 5pcs from 2 sources, I paid slighty more than half of what ILLUSN mentioned for 3cm, but in USD and they are 5.5-6cm.

    Thomas: have you start saving yet? I expect to see you real soon in HK for the gears! CANON ONLY PLEASE, excuse me, non-Canon fans!!!! :P

    Illusn: no probelm, here you go. Those Ranchu were just temporary resident, of course, they have their own tank now. The caves, they are handmade and I ordered them from Germany and they also make Apisto caves. From my observation, 99% of all my Apisto prefer to breed in these German caves rather than an oridinary cave. I wonder what are the material the German used.
