LOL i just went over there for a look. It's even more mental there than here!!
One poster is posting pictures of IT saying they're ST. Then posting pictures of NTT saying they're juvi ST LOL
here's some facts for you. Karun, who seems to know a lot about ST because he is a THAI hobbyist just paid 11000 Thai Baht for a junvi pulcher from Cambodia, even he's asking "ST or IT".
There have been reports of SOME pulcher being fished out of rivers in Vietnam, but they went straight to Japan for big bucks. This fish is rare in all countries. They EAT the big ones. They get more for a dead fish for a plate in a restaurant than for a live fish for a tank!
If you honestly think that there is no money in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, or Cambodia to buy these fish you're wrong.
There are a lot of wealthy hobbyist here who will pay more that the price you're quoting. They'd queue for them. People in Thailand were paying more than the price quoted to EAT one in China town 15 years ago.
There isn't any hobbyist fish out there that isn't sold here in Bangkok, any fish can be had, and i really mean any. One thing there aren't many of is Pulcher. You've got to know a guy that knows a guy. Not that I've tried but it would probably be easier to find a Kg of hard drugs.
If you think buckets of ST are going to turn up in the US that's good for you.
