Hi long story short, I tried to order a juru from my lfs and they told me that the fish wont be available until spawning season.

When do juru's spawn in the wild?

Does this mean I will have to wait a few months for a baby?

It seems to be hit or miss for juruensis. I've seen them come in more as a steady trickle than as a seasonal flood.

IIRC, I usually, or almost always see them in the summer time, the earlier part.
