Well...can you please elaborate?? YOu seem to be in "the know", how about you share the knowledge....Im not asking for names...just wondering about the keep of this Sp., and how long it has allegedly been in the hobby...would be nice to know :)

About 2 years ago there were two shipments of baby PBass that were captured in the Teles Pires river sent to Japan. I had 3 of these PBass imported from the first shipment. They ended up NOT being Fogo. :( Still a very nice PBass however.

The second shipment were Fogo. At this time I know that Japan has some but none are for sale and no more have been exported from Brazil. The pictures I've seen look just like a mono when young. As the fish have grown they have developed the bright red coloration which is present all the time. Not just at breeding time. I suspect when they breed they will intensify even more.

Someday they will be available again. Start saving your money now however because they ain't cheap!!
 
i have been saving since the first time i saw a pic here on mfk,I WILL HAVE ONE,or two
 
bump,, sorry guys had to bump this just incase some one had some more input
 
i highly doubt anybody else has anything more to add to this thread being that very few people know about these fish. but whateva
