hey now, I hope i'm in the 10% LFS. 
I wish could have half of that live stock. I wish I had a a farm raising a lot of exotics in captivity.
I was n Australia a couple years ago & was at a cool store near Chna town that was really cool & tanks were well stocked.
Do these places ever get ick? I freak in my shop if I get ick in a tank with a couple fish & lose them like the Datanoids I just lost but the place they are from usually always have super ick! Saved one so far.
If those system got ick or other parasite the losses would be huge!

most of the vendors selling higher end fish dont allow photos, but a smile does wonders and if that fails, mobile phone camera...
visited this place 4 times now and still get excited like a kid. no heaters seen because the temperature is 25-30 degrees, starting to cool off now. vendors are constantly selling fish and tending to the tanks/animals/plants. Filtration systems are nothing special, I think water changes are freaquent. Very few medicated sick tanks. I'd say 98% of the species there are not meant for food. The 2% that are food fish, like trop gars 2.5ft (20USD a pc) do end up at this market but to be sold as pets. Most of the fish are bred locally, I'd guess 95%. At some point will a make a trip to breeding farms, will post pics of that when i do. glad you guys enjoyed.
I think the gulpers were around 100USD, 10inches. Not as common so my guess is they're imported (but not necessarly wild caught, may be farmed from SE Asia). Some of the arrows are bred in china, the more expensive branded ones are from singapore/malaysia/indonesia.
I don't know the laws/regulations around shipping fish international. Pretty sure some of the fish being sold worldwide are from the same source. What isn't made in china these days?

you have to have a international import/export license. Getting live stock back in the states is not that easy & the cost can be high + losses. I know because I have done it.
ohh my god!!!! i wanna go there! but i feel bad because of the conditions those animals are in. but still i wanna go there!!!!
