Morgan, I wish it was this simple lol. These are not F1s, Boettner would never hold back on first breeding and raised fry of intermedia video or report because of the rarity of the feat. it would also be pretty astounding for him to sell intermedia at prices less than his Xingu F1s.
I was offered these same fish. In fact I have been offered the larger size as well but never jumped on any because of the pricing roller coaster I'm seeing. The pictures I got didn't confirm them as intermedia. Even though I was told they are collected in the 'same area' as intermedia I wasn't going to risk a bunch of money for what looked like stressed out temensis fry.
Remember its much cheaper to throw a net and catch these fish in a river than raise them from spawn up to sellable size.
I talked to Oliver about getting some pictures of these fish. He gave me some story about how he's only selling these small ones to Asia and large ones to US. Which is weird whats that got to do with emailing me some pictures? Also just so you know he only takes payment by wire transfer. So there's not much recourse for customers if anything goes wrong with the shipment.
Well said Mark. I love to hear all sides. And now tgat ya mention the price seems quite iffy on that"100". You know i just like to stir it up

These fish brought the Legendary cichla keeper Seiichi out. Love it! I miss the good ol days in the cichla section!
