*** NOW RESERVED *** Vampire Tetra - Hydrolycus tatauaia. (Payara) We had this guy shipped from Peru a couple of weeks ago. He’s approximately 8-9”. We did order several but just this one turned up. We do have to be grateful as this genus as a whole can be tricky to ship such long distances. This fish is currently in quarantine and won’t be released until he/she is feeding well, however we can take a reservation for anyone that’s interested, though a deposit will be required. Price is £120-00 Te
