Last year, I was buying 4-5" ITs with the standard double bar for $80.00-$100.00 in San Jose, CA. They have since disappeared off the radar screen (at least around here). I have been seeing a lot of very small Thinbars and ATs for around $30.00-$40.00. Yeah, I know I got reamed on that fish. On the other hand, it's like I tell my friends.....don't wory about the precise species of Dat...if you like it and you can afford it, buy it.
Vanimate nailed it,as recently as a year and a half ago a store here that has two locations in the city used to have a tank full of two and three inch indos that were priced at thirty dollars each.I also saw a similar case in some stores in New Jersey and I figured that this had to be going on in other parts of the country as well.This spring I saw no dats in the stores and just look at how the price has jumped.I bet that they are already rare in the primary areas where they are collected and I think I read somewhere that they are also collected for food for the locals.
No wonder they are getting so rare. With words like this I can see them being extinct very soon.trojan09;3542675; said:
Everyone stock up so we can have them all in tank where no one can breed them and out of their natural breeding rivers.
