Fei Feng...Pissed Off!

[Adrius]

Howcome fei fengs (flagtail prochilodus, phoenix, semaprochilodus theraponura, taeniurus, JARAQUI!) are all from my country (amazon) and are only sold outside? This truly pisses me off! Asian aros are from asia and it is where they can be found!...here in brasil asian aros are nowhere to be found, blacks are a true rarity and silvers are occasional!! Im very mad, hehe, since brazilian LFS should always have at least a theraponura, but nooooooooo, we got nothing! this sux! Heres a pic of a theraponura i got VERYYYYY luckily:

umm y not go out and catch some of your own fish. also im angry coz jardinis in au cost more then thoose in the US

 

[T1KARMANN]

maybe the shops in brazil dont sell them because you can go catch your own

i would feel like my LFS was takeing the piss out of me if they started selling stickle backs that i chould catch in my pond

the same goes for comen pike and roach all can be caught by anyone so why would a shop sell them

catch fei fengs? u guys r nuts!
1. i live in brasilia not the amazon
2. only the "ribeirinhas" or native indians and some other people are allowed to catch them!
3. ive phoned several LFS in Manaus (amazon) and they said the fish is prohibited...

prohibited!!!! WTF!!!
i was wondering...how often do u guys see fei fengs in your local LFS, and how much do they cost?

 

[rallysman]
