What most people don't realize is that 99% of those who sale (resell) wc bichirs got their bichirs from toyin to begin with. He is the main importer of bichirs into the US. $75 will get you SEVERAL bichirs from him airport to airport overnight. His rates are actually very good IMO. Last time I ordered 4 LARGE bichirs for like $80 and I believe i could have ordered more for the same rate. He is the only guy who generally undersizes his fish. Ordered a 16" bichir, received a 20" bichir. If you compare his prices to past prices from other vendors, his prices are CHEAPER than most..... and sometimes wayyyy cheaper.
+1 toyin even though i never got anything direct from him :(

Oh wow! I didn't know that was for USPS priority. That's extremely high!

I am personal friends of Ray and he won't be getting anything from Africa in a long time or ever again. Too many problems he's had with exporters from there. I gave him the number of a friend who says he has a reliable exporter from there but for now, he won't be getting anything from Africa at all

Anyone know what happened to aquatic day care? They were having some roof flooding issues over Christmas break, but I haven't heard from them since in spite of multiple calls. We spoke on a Friday. At the time, he had a wide variety of Polypterids in stock, and asked me to call back on Monday to order, seeing as they were imminently repairing the leak.

Edit: his website hasn't been updated in eons.

When we spoke the time before last, he was mentioning something about stocking a zoo aquarium exhibit, and mentioned it was going to be time consuming... Some chance this is a factor.
