wether they're wild caught or F1 these are still desirable fish. If anyone can pay the price they're worth every penny.

Definately. Might better post them on aquabid. They usually go for more than what you want for them. I would buy them all if I was sure they were wild but in my opinion they aren't especially at that size. They should be adults and no matter what anyone says they just can't be imported anymore and that's the bottom line. A juvie labelled as wild is and should be considered fraudulent and should not be sold as wild because it's just not possible. That's not attacking anyone, that is just the facts. Somebody is being mislead, whether it was AllHappy or us in the MFK community. Who cares about the price, show proof or sell them as regular non-wild pleco.

I have seen WC at 1.25 inch.. It doesn't mean that WC has to be large, they don't put back what they catch.

So your saying that there are 4 year old wild caught zebras that stay only 1.25 inches their whole life?


What's with a 4 year old? What kind of dumb question is that???
 
IBAMA apprehended yesterday a big quantity of fish you adorn in the airport of Santarém/Equal. The number of animals was estimated in more of thousand. The documentation for the transport of the fish was not presented, neither there are information about their origin. Some species apprehended are threatened of extinction, as the acari zebra (Hypancistrus zebra), endemic in the basin of the Xingu, whose commercialization is prohibited. The responsible one by the illegal shipment was notified and will be sued so soon the fish are counted and all the species identified, what is indispensable for the calculation of the value of the fine.

The fish were packaged in more of 50 polystyrene that would be embarked for São Paulo when were apprehended. Due to the inadequate conditions of transport, the impossibility of return of the animals to his one habitat in a reasonable amount of time and all of the procedures of technical analysis for the release, several of the animals died and will be incorporated to the zoological collections of institutes of education and scientific, for will be utilized in environmental education and research

The donation will be carried out tomorrow (26) in the headquarters of the Ibama in Santarém (Av. Tapajós 2267) between 9 and 11h of the morning. It is important that the educators and researchers interested lead pots of glass with cover and alcohol 70%, for the storage of the fish, beyond label or plaster for annotation of the names of the animals. The idea is going to arrange for the schools and related institutions a small collection of fish you adorn of the region, in order to promote the knowledge of the species and fortify the debate about the implications of the crimes.

It is important highlight that this environmental crime provokes ecological mischief, upon influencing negatively the chain feed and the aquatic ecosystems, as well like economic mischief, upon injuring the activities of ecological tourism in the region.
 
Because you aren't getting the point. They would have to be 4 years old or more to be wild. That's what's with the dumb question. I know they could be caught and exported small but since they can longer be exported(legally) then they would have to be at least 4 years old, hence they should be large. Besides if someone did get their hands on fish brought in the country illegaly they would not be very smart to sell them as wild caught anyway.

Fish Room and Others you guys are breaking forum rules. Hopefully Neo will see this and warn or penalize you guys for derailing this vendors thread. Which again is a violation of MFK forum rules. And if no action is taken. It may make sense to go to your buy and sell thread and start terrorizing by derailing.
