got this message in my pm from whoever the hell this guy is...
- Thread starter the animal guy
- Start date
Because currently the only source for WC festae, IS Peru. If FO isn't a must have, then I guess you can get either/or from numerous sources.
Is there a big difference between the Peruvian to the Ecuadorian?

You tell me!!!
There are enough pics on here so you can come to your own conclusions. I own Ecuadorian.

I doubt that anyone down in those parts gives a flying F either way where the festae are sourced from.
Do you have a link to an article where it says Ecuador has banned the exportation of ornamental fish? I spent a good while searching this and could find nothing that states this.
I am very curious because my wife and I have been planning a trip back to Ecuador (we met there in 1996) and I would sure love to check out some fish, or even have some shipped back, if possible.
You prolly missed it because it doesn't state ornamental fish, it states all wildlife... Which obviously includes any live fish...I posted one link on my quality vs trash thread already. But just Google import export laws in Ecuador and you'll find it.
Sorry Dan, no links.
In that part of the world the native species allowed out of the country can change on a monthly basis, so your best bet is to enquire when you arrive. That, or contact the Dept. of Fisheries in advance.

Here are links. To spare you some time I copied and pasted from one of them.
