Doesn't seem to be true, since they are still for sale on several lists!

Good to hear. Was afraid they were dead. It would not be the first time a rare fish was brought in and the first shipment (or so) all died from failure to adapt to the glass box lifestyle.

Apparently they aren't an easy species. I had one ordered and my supplier got a few smaller ones that I was going to get, but for the price I'm going to wait till more is known about their care. It would be a huge loss at the price they are if it didn't work out. As more fish from Ventuari become available as will more zebrina. I'm not worried about not getting one right away.
