Looking for a bowfin

[Mikefallen13]

Hello!
Well, looking at all the aggressive fish on this forum has really made me want to get rid of my little schooling fish and get something toothy! So after researching I've settled on a bowfin as my first venture into "monster" fish but now the problem is finding one. I've put out a few feelers to my local shops and most have said they have never even seen one in a tank, so it's time to ask the Internet for help! So does anybody know of any vendors that get these fish? Any leads would be awesome!

Thanks!

Small ones will be available soon. I found them at the following sites starting around this time last year:

bluegrassaquatics.com
tangledupincichlids.com
jacksonaquatics.net
aquabid.com
gunpowderaquatics.net

Good luck!

Awesome! I'll keep an eye out and update if I get one. Thanks!

They must have sold out already I. Can't find them there. Bummer.

I just sent them an email, let's see what happens! I would have called and left a message but my crappy iPhone just kicked the bucket and I have to wait until Sunday until I get a new one.

They are only listed on the home page screen (just updated today). It says to call.

You could always try to catch one yourself if they are local for you:

Not sure if you were looking for yourself or the OP, but bowfin are illegal in VA just in case!
