[Champ-BKK]

Yeah got a few.
Can't carry much due to worry about cold.
He need to move from Kyoto to Tokyo by trucking almost 24 hrs.
My flight from Tokyo to Bangkok around 6.5 hrs.
Total around 32 hrs. to my home.

Luckily everything ok.

The shop at Kyoto city.
From Kyoto subway station i took a cap around 2,500 Yen to shop.
You can see the map on his website.
Or give Cap the telephone number, they will insert in GPS system then will show direction easily. :eek: Want this system in Thailand too.

Mr. Kei can send from Kyoto to your hotel at Tokyo by trucking agency will take around 24 hrs.
Then you can hand carry from Tokyo to Singapore.
Or if you fly back from Kansai airport ( Osaka ) will take more shortly.

How about our HKG trip? :D

[desmondekker]

thanks once again for the info

[johannes]

nice going there!
wish i can go too.. :(

[celticfish]

Can you recall how he pronounced the name for the Hypancistrus you bought?
I can try to ID for you that way.

Now I know who to ask on how to get to Aquafin! :D

[barmby]

L173, I don't need to ask the price. I cannot afford. There are only a few people in Singapore who know how to keep this fish. Don't risk. and my heart stop.

[akoh]

Champion ! looking at my work schedule, I have to be in Japan from 3rd to 11th Dec ! see if I can change the date ! if not ! no chance to see those Hypan ! :(

You can sold your L333 fries and buy a pair of zebra wave.

Yeah need to check but that time a bit cold.

[Edmundo]

Next time.

tat is for sure.............. date i will confirm with you soon. Likely April.......... :D

[celticfish]

Champ,
L46 is called inperiaru zebura purekko.
L173 is supa inperiaru zebura purekko or supa inpe for short.
So you got L173! :)

I'm still trying to figure what is their mega crown (mega clown).
Its not the same as the ang moh mega clown.
Their mega crown has a fan tail like L333 so you can rule out L236.
Where's Johannes???

[Champ-BKK]

Thank you Irwin. :D

Please also help to ID Hypan on another Thread post by Edmund.
Hypan 345

[johannes]

[barmby]

I think you are going to kill me. L66. haha..But really. Look at the tail. Got 'lyre' one. And keep in darker tank - the beast might camo itself to the black surrounding. However, there are few in the earlier pictures (Aquafin) - really look like 173

[Champ-BKK]

Thanks Barmby
That pic is my tank not aquafin.
Yep not L173
L66.black haha

[barmby]

L66 has got finer spot or patch. Yours are bigger which is like a Lower Xingu, L333 and etc. You have the magazines. Flip it you will know what i meant.

[Champ-BKK]

Yep i thought Lower Xingu.
Need Mr. Johan to confirm.
:D
