Not going ot read through all of this so sorry. True Chopaya basin pulchers are extinct. Fact.
Scientists in a research lad in Nakornswawn,(which is currently flooded) are trying to breed Pulcher with limited sucess. Fact.
Pulcher are not being bred in captivity. Fact.
Phone the Department of Fisheries in BKK and tell them you're doing a PHD and need information like i did, they'll tell you the same.
CT? I'm not sure about that because i've not had or got the means to research it. VT? same same.
Not captive bred for sure though. Fact.
Wild caught? I'm not sure about that.
No baby ITs in thailand now after massive amounts last year. Why is that? One year old Pulchers apleanty this year. Why is that?
In the coming years i'm going to build a house in Petchaburi. I'm going to try and breed Arowan for a hobby. I'm going to get loads of NTTs and give them everything they have in the wild to see if they breed. reed beds, caves, holes in the ground, sand as a bottom. I tell you one thing i know. I won't be the first to try it.

But... this guy in Arofanatic said he got about 4000 pieces of 1"-2" Indo 3 bars & Classic in Jarkarta

http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=479895

I am going to try to breed ST too!!! ^-^

1) in the process of buying / looking for more ST, but they are so "FREAKING" expensive 10" ST ~ $2200, 19" ST ~ $2800

2) planning to get a 300G acrylic tank (the fish is even more expensiver than the tank ~.~'')

That's really daft. I wrote Thailand, you know that place don't you?
I would bet most of the VT CT are coming out of Thailand, or Vietnam, or Cambodia, where the scammers are a very artful breed of people. They're so good a telling lies they think they're telling the truth, and they like nothing more than to scam round eyes out of their money.

Good luck with that, but if scientists can't do it i'm pretty sure i know how it's going to end for you.

No doubt there are pulchers in the wild in some SEA countries. No Doubt they are fish, caught and sold for high prices.
No doubt none of them are captive bred.

have fun wasting your time ..you might as well try breeding the loch ness monster.

All this threads "the captivity breeding", the "stability" ,etc. have been beaten to death already for years, but they always come back (kind of like herpes) every couple of months or so, just to waste more bandwidth.

Here it seems to say the person visited does breed pulchers (in the visiting asia section).
