RARE
Triplophys siluroides
- giant Tibetan loach, can reach 30" in the wild, I've seen myself.
well started, need cooler water, no guarantees on how successful you will be at keeping. They are like a freshwater leopard shark, and will chase down feeders. 7" $250.00 each 10" $350.00 each

RARE
Luciobarbus brachycephalus Albino - Snake like barb, with mouth like catfish - originally from Kasakhstan. First time in the USA. They are eating cut shrimp and pellets already, seem to be pretty easy to keep. 5" $175.00 each only a few pieces, I would say pretty rare.
Slightly brackish stuff goes up and down the river. Depending on the tide, the water will be completely fresh, or completely salt and the fish will travel up and down and in between all these areas. We've caught snooks, tarpons about 50 miles up river just so you know. We keep them at specific gravity measured between 1.001-1.004, varying depending on how much water I change and remove, but I don't measure it on regular basis.

Centropomus nigriscens - black snook 8" $175.00 only one
5" $125.00
Centropomus undecimalis common snook 5" $100.00
3" $75.00
Colomesus psittacus - this is the first time documented in US hobby that this has been imported. Here is some basic info on it. it can reach 12" plus., pretty aggressive when hungry, otherwise not too bad. Most pictures you see online are that of asselus, the small amazon puffer, never this. Like all puffers they're very tolerant of a wide salinity range and fluctuation. They will readily eat cut shrimp. 5" $125.00 each limited quantity
Lutjanus argentimaculatus 4" $75.00 each
found in pure freshwater in Australia man made lakes

Toxotes blythii 3" $75.00 each only 2 pieces

Caranx sexfaciatus
3" $75.00
6" $120.00 each

Caranx ignobilis 7" $150.00
giant trevally "GT" they will crash the water when feeding like boiling tunas! Imagine a school in a big tank!

Google up Lake Taal - in Phillipines, there are land locked populations of the above 2 fish

Epinephalus lanceolatus captive bred babies- born and bred in brackish water.
These are the Queensland giant groupers, they can reach about 10 feet in the wild!!
4-5" eating anything in sight. $95.00 each

Google for some pictures and do some research online. Of course some fish are rare enough that there isn't much info on them. Also if I misspelled the name, you would have a harder time finding them as well.

All the fish are first come first serve. Shipping for most is fedex overnight to your door, aircargo available for shipments over $500.00. Both will run about $55.00 to $75.00 for most. Live arrival guaranteed. Please read disclaimer and store policy prior to ordering.

I've had other wolves from time to time, but do you know which kind you're looking for?

Aimara is no doubt the king of all wolf fish, followed by lacerdae and others are smaller and less
juvenile lacerdae preferably, but also misiones and australis. Aimara's are great and I would like to have them one day, but are out of my budget as far as the price tag and proper housing.

Do you have any Orino's coming in. Rio Negro or intermedia?
Orinocensis from Rio Meta are $10-15 dollars each, I don't bother
Orinos from True Rio negro, I've only received once, pretty hard to come by
Intermedia was rare once upon a time, now its not. I don't bother with them
