If you're really serious try sifting thru this list you might get lucky. http://www.tropicalfishfind.com/Importers.asp
I really doubt you can get kelberis without willing to spend 1000+. Plus trying to find someone who would let them go is the hard part. I been trying for two months. $1000+ offered but no bites still. Pretty much you can put a name to every kelberi owned in the US, thats how rare they are.

hehehe!!!yeah sure bro.
mono!!or ocel or temensis maybe. you start talking about kelberi,azul,intermedia you are talking biggggg bucks.we will see... i am just shocked it would be that much, for that price i could get a ticket down there, go kayaking and fishing for a few days, enjoy some local culture and pack a bunch of babies outa the rio and fly them home and wish for best results... 1k sounds a bit high to me... but if thats what it is, maybe i will fly down there, and bring 10 of them home and pay for my trip with a bunch of you guys so willing to shell out the $... starting bid is 900, sounds competitive to what i have heard!

If you go down there and bring some back.... I just may be in a position to give you some cash
Good luck finding some....... I only know of one person from this forum (in So. Cal.) that has some, easily 14"! Seems pretty rare to me.
gixxer1k;1693805; said:thanks for the "helpful" post ewok! its nice to see someone who isnt quite so pessimistic!
No ones being pessimistic.. just being truthful, not giving you hope when there isn't any.. Truthfully check with Rich like said but I think if he could get them they'd be gone to a certain west coast pbass collector.. or a couple west coast collectors I should say..
BTW, don't think it's just go down to S.A. and just scoop out kelberi all day.. they're rare for a reason. And not because no one wants to bring them in..

LOL that's so true, these aren't swordtails or mollies. Worse yet you can get your ass shot off by some drug smugglers or kidnapped by someone with a hard on for killin/extorting americans or even worse than that get malaria and die. Take your pick
