BTW labridens are not endangered of being extinct they have been contaminated by carpentis which have crossed into Media Luna through the many canal systems designed to irrigate farm lands. I dont know of anyone who sells or have sold hybrids or any member who has purchased them. Thanks jgentry you were right on point there are so many claims about these fish "all the blues and yellows in the hobby came from that trip no matter who is selling the" How is it that 2 years later in 2008 200 were collected and are being spawned in a breeding program and could not possibly be pure. 11-25-2009, 8:17 PM #97 fishfarm

Hi Guys, as a vendor here I get asked by some of the members when they see something they think is fishy, I.E. Ira a new guy, with all these rare wild caught fish, so I asked him how he got so many wild fish no one else had. Don Conkel contacted me today, he is suppying Ira with the fish, His company went on a collecting trip to the Panuco basin in 2008 in search of pure yellow labridens, they found a new pond that was separate from Media Luna that contained pure yellow labridens and brought back 200 for his breeding program, he recently releaseed 20 wild adults to Ira for resale. So qwell the rumors guys, Ira is legit. Ken
