They are rarely offered but not exceedingly rarely. I can't think of any right at the moment.

As for keepers, there a few active members who keep them, myself included. You can do a forum search for bolt catfish and you will see threads like this:

Yes we do, have only 2 left. Thank you.
I only supposed you might have had them. J jaws7777 bought one from your bolts some months back.

I don't know anymore how to check your current stock list. It's not on your website anymore it seems and I don't go to FB or instagram or wherever else you post it. In the MFK vendor section, you post rather infrequently.

I mostly see it on our local Graiglist haha but even there it requires some deciphering to understand...

Perhaps I am missing something.

Yes, thanks. I remembered there was a problem and Rodrigo proved to be a solid and honest vendor as a result. Not remembering more, I thought I'd better leave it out.

BTW, just saw a behind the scenes tour of the facility:
