no...i don't believe they're that rare in the wild. i've seen a pic with a canoe-full of dead ones no doubt for food.

its expensive because fish in japan are usually more expensive, and if a fish is rare (in the hobby), the prices then become insane because hobbyists there are really hardcore and are willing to pay, which i'm sure helps drive the price up. if you know their prices for ansorgii and teugelsi and some other bichirs, you'll know what i mean. the price would come down though when the market no longer supports the current price. Of course sometimes the japanese also put a lot of effort into locating certain fish in the wild, eg. Pbb, and that probably contributes to the cost as well.

He does seem to have his hand on the pulse of MFK, with some of the best prices Ive ever seen. Just have to check his vendor forum every 5 min to get the goods before they sell out :nilly:

Only 300? I may need to treat myself soon then.. My bichir kiddie pool. I thought they were still up around 450.
 
nope went down to 300 i was shocked too i was thinking of forking out 450. maybe i should use the rest on a koliba or wait for a bichir bichir

yeah but thats in the US. price is still much higher in japan. i'm sure their Pbb price will drop, it may just take a while, a long while perhaps. And an initial price drop may not matter much to most of us. just compare their ansorgii prices and ours.

well depends on size. between 300 and 350 for ~10".
