  Large adult female Leporacanthicus galaxias L240











Description: Large adult female Leporacanthicus galaxias L240

Full grown adult female approximately 10ins, I am very attached to her and reluctant to sell but unfortunately she is too large for the tank. She has been well looked after and fed on a diet of courgette, peas, new era algae pellets, muscle, cockle, shrimp, prawn, crayfish� She has a HUGE appetite for her size and species easily devouring a 5inch piece of courgette in a night! Will need a nice large mature tank with soft low pH water loads of hiding places (She lives in a 4inch pipe at the moment), peaceful tank mates and a very strong filtration system with plenty of flow. She did originally come from somebody who kept her in a hard water system where the pH was 8.2 and both GH and KH off the scale but I would severely recommend against this as it would not be suitable for her welfare.

Currently lives in a 140x50x35cm sparsely planted Amazon biotope tank part of a 400L+ approx system. Water is RO with minerals filtered through peat with twice weekly 15% water change + Top ups.
Water tested every few days with parameters currently standing at:
pH 7
GH 4
KH 3
NH3 0ppm
NO2 0ppm
NO3 0-5ppm
PO4 0ppm

I am prepared to travel to deliver up to 80 miles from the BH15 area at an additional cost of �5 per 10 miles (this covers both legs of the journey) If preferred collection is also possible however both daytime collection and delivery would only be available on Thursday or Friday or collection 7pm onwards on days other than Thursday and Friday. I am able to provide a large poly box and very large koi bags for transportation and can have the fish bagged and ready to go in the shortest time possible to minimise stress.
