Curious where in Ohio you saw it. I live in Tolero but travel all across the state for work. Visiting that pet store would make a nice little "side trip"! I have no intentions of purchasing one but sure would love to see it!

You should consider that these fish are Critically Endangered.

You may need a permit?

IMHO any activity that promotes the keeping of an endangered species is not a good idea.

These do not require permits of any kind. But they do indeed get huge. And are powerful swimmers that need ample space. I believe you work at aquascape? See if Pedro can get them in. I'm sure they are on his short list.

Much better to grow your own out than start with a 20in beast who will continue to grow bigger and bigger

Shipping will be costly for a two foot catfish.....with all the water one would need in the bag and all,and that's if they ship....plus the last time I checked those paroons were four hundred dollars each.Check around some of the good Jersey shops and see if they can't get you one.

Ok I will ask around but no seems to get them

If I remember correctly Pedro and George from shark aquarium have imported them again. I would talk to wes at rare fish maybe he can try to get his hands on some. I'm pretty sure a big batch of them came in around a year ago
