Hey guys, we are opening up the worm can.

Some rules off the bat. I work for a professional university fish collection, and these fish are for research purposes, and we already have the means to keep them.

This has been researched for mulitple years. I will not field, or answer questions in regards to the care of the fish, unless I promt them.

For now this thread is simply about finding one, and getting it to wisconsin. We would potentially be interested in as many as three as long as the price was right.

This is a chance for any of the vendors on here to get some of my money if they have a fish!

Thanks

^ I like this.....TUC and Sharkaquarium have or had them and nicely priced,check them out.

Thanks, I will inquire. Anyone else?

In regards to what it says, I probably know more about the care and biology of this fish than 90% of the people that own one.

This fish is going to live in enclosures that are larger than it will ever need.

Yeah, Shark Aquarium just had them on sale for $100 @ 6"

I checked their website, and it looks as if that isnt going on anymore...but I sent him an email anyways.

Thanks!

Once you guys get them. Will this be open if anyone would want to visit to see these fish in person? I live in central WI and would love to see one.

Good luck in your search!

It's good you sent the email,they don't keep the most updated stock list on their site.

shark aquarium has them, as well as aquascape. I believe they are in season right now, so shouldn't be too hard to find.

This is a project that will be run at my house...if you wanted to swing by and see the fish that would be fine!

I have some other stuff that is mildly interesting as well. Feel free to PM me so we can talk more.

Lets put it this way, there is no way I am paying over $200 for one of these shipped. Or even $200. I know that I can get small ones shipped to my door for under $150...but we will see who wins the bidding war.

Agreed...I have contacted both as of now...there are a couple west coast people working on this for me as well.
