He was sold as an Indo, but he was every bit as red and blue as any Australian I've seen. If you plan on buying one online I would go strictly with a Australian, but if you're planning through a LFS, either will work, depending the fish is eating strong and no obivous cynaide effects. I have my QT tanks ready, but was waiting till after X-mas to setup them up/buy fish. Might have to get my butt in gear instead.
SWF.Com carries the Indian Ocean variety; thats where I read about them being available in the summer. I checked the other 2 online sources I've used and both are out of the Aussies; may just be co-incidence, but I know they've almost always had them for months.
