Dear all,
Selected these fishes on 26th December, 2014 and about 3 weeks later, the Citra Reds are finally here. The Garuda flight was on time and had arrived in Singapore at 2.20pm sharp. But to truck out the shipment and to let AVA Officers scan each and every imported Red at the Changi Airport, took another few hours. To make matters worst, after office hours traffic had delayed our driver further. So by the time we had received the shipment, it was close to 7pm.

Some of these fishes may look a little skinny now because of the routine starving just before any shipment to clear their bowels so water will not turn bad during the cargo transit. But no worries as our staff will help to pump them up! Do PM or email to [email protected] to purchase these Citra beauties. For local purchase, its only via advance appointment and our terms is - Cash & Carry (ie no Credit cards nor Personal Cheques).

Many thanks for the kind support! Happy Weekend!

Citra Chilli Reds, about 6 inches, too. All with slight Spoon Heads, and a shorter but broader body. All 6 inches Citra Blood reds and Chilli reds are to be priced the same, since they are all regarded as Super Reds (ie Grade 1 Reds).

Small update 3 days after arrival

Dear all,
Was walking by the tanks and realized that the Citra Chilli Reds (8-9 inches) are much better looking now than yesterday ... Both colour on the gill plates and on the rims are much more obvious now!

So my guess is - they are probably more stabilized now than before. So took some pictures just for sharing ...

Happy Sunday!

The most Spoon Head specimen? Long pectorals, rim colours and a large tail, too.
