Fei Feng...Pissed Off!

2. only the "ribeirinhas" or native indians and some other people are allowed to catch them!

Sounds like they are protected, somewhat. You might have answered your own question.

Funny so many people believe that because you are from Brazil you have can just go out and catch your own. Brazil has many of the top 50 largest cities in the world. Far from an easy place to go and "catch your own" as the VAST majority of Brazilians live in cities that dwarf most American cities.

Nice fish. Sorry that your country has such a limited supply of captive fish for sale. Is it a demand issue? Are there not many fishkeepers in Brasil?

Rally is right. Commonly seen & cheap here.

How cheap is cheap?? And when rally says babies seen frequently, how big are they? like under 2"?? That would be an awesome size!

I just picked up one at 4" for $20. Several months ago silver dollar coin sized ones showed up and went for $3-4 wholesale.

Damn i wish i had that opportunity. Hopefully they'll come around for like 5$ a piece.
