Herichthys carpintis "Vontehillo" info?

[armac]

If I buy a Corvette and I have a question I usually go to the dealer, that is where I bought the car. I doubt I would email Chevrolet. It is a simple question, you are selling fish with a specific collection point, I live three miles from Mexico and travel into the interior quite regularly. Where is Vontehillo?

There is no conspiracy, just answer the question.

The collection location on his site is listed as "Laguna Vontehillo". I can't locate that place.

Kind of like "Rio Naranja" for the "wild" JD's. There's no such place in Mexico. There's a "Rio Naranjo" in Costa Rica...but - as far as I know - collecting in Costa Rica is not legal.

Or the "wild" fish from Laguna Catemaco... but the most recent article or pictures to be found of collecting there are from the early '90s...

It all just doesn't add up.

yeah i mean im definitely not trying to "smear" anyone, im just genuinely interested in finding out where this fish is from, i have some of these fish and they are beautiful specimens so i would just like to know more about them, and with ANY fish whether from Don or elsewhere people ALWAYS want to know where they are originated from so i think that it is a very valid AND INNOCENT (not IMPLYING anything) question to ask about any fish that is in the hobby and being sold

Perhaps Don is not the sole supplier, but I got the impression when he said he has only released his to Ira.

No. I think he IS the sole SUPPLIER. What I was confused about was you said he had released them to Ira exclusively, but I saw them in my DCT supplied LFS that same day.

Which, of course, begs the question: Did he mislead Ira or you? Or both?
