Sounds good in theary, but Honduras is one big dump, they are better off in our tanks. The main reason this fish was so rare to start with is introduced managuese are everywhere, and they out compete (and out breed) the La ceiba Fish. Plus being so close to moderate size city with terrible sanitation practices, just would not work. I believe this fish would be extinct now had we not caught them when we did. Ken

I see. Thanks for the explanation. I'm glad we go a hold of them when we did then.:)

Thanks Ken I completely agree with you. Its a shame there will no longer be anymore of these magnificent fish caught.

Now when people breed yours and Rusty's F1 fry, are you worried about inbreeding from people who don't want to order from both sources, or can't?

And Terd I dont think there would be enough fish to sustain a population without detrimental amounts of inv=breeding, which would eventually lead to their demise anyways.

So with only two pairs of wild caught fish in existance (one with Ken and one with Jeff), maybe I should get a female from Jeff Rapps so as not to be inbreeding by having a sibling pair (both male and female from Ken)?

So, who's local to me with a female or fry from a pair from Jeff Rapps? Anybody? I can trade a Ken Davis male. Jeff's shipping can be expensive for me due to geography. PM me if you can help.;)
