animal are born for us to keep or eat,same goes to fish.

u dont hv ST or IT to keep.. this world is not going to end,m i right?human brain are main to create new thing.if u want to save animal,the story will never hv an ending,my advise to u guys,just treasure and enjoy what u hv now.
 
singapore can consider a fish hub i can say,any fish that reach here,we will find all mean to breed them.
u can see we had successful breeding,ray,aro,flowerhorn,discus,guppy,pleco etc,u wouldnt know this IT is already success,as long as there is demand,people will just do it,this tigerfish had to study futher more then any other fish.
 
I've heard a lot from Singapore about how fragile these guys are and luckily mine seem to be doing very well so far. It may not lead to anything but I'll get in touch with our supplier and see where they get these guys from. I'll see how far I can trace these guys and hope to find some factual answer about where they're all coming from. Fortunately we aren't ordering them anymore and haven't in such large numbers, more like 2-4 at a time, and they go for $11.99.
It is confirmed, they are coming from Indonesia

I just ordered 500+ pieces (1 box) from Indo, they should arrive in Canada next week :)
size is small, but how small??? (it is unknown, till they arrive)
 
I'm not sure how many times i've posted this but when i was researching these for my Dat website i looked at catching methods for these and other fish.
Every year small IT's become available in abundance and from what i gather the collectors know where they spawn and use large nets to catch hundreds at a time, for larger fish they use nets and corals
To go back to the farm bred IT's points made we were supposed to get pics and proof from someone before which was a promising lead but i can't remember if this happened.Anyway its not unusual to see hundreds of IT's for same at the same time of year each and every year.

Also there are plenty other posters who know their stuff re Dats on this site than just the one's the OP mentioned, no need to alienate everybody else.
 
Just because I see them post more often in the Datnoid section. I'd like anyone's opinion and/or advise though. :)

Shouldn't be any alienation if this post was read.
 
Do you have a new car Dixon? Nice!
