New Fish: Paddlefish (Polyodon Spathula)

awesome man yeah 7 seas has them for cheap

yea, cheapest i could find except for TFD, and the shipping from them is killer. not mention paddles are terrible shippers

Wow, nice fish. I am interested in these species but i guess they don't sell these type of fish in south-east asia. am i right??

it was actually an aquarists tank in your area that made me consider keeping one. they are, believe it or not, easier to find in the trade in your neck of the woods than they are in their native united states.

Nice pickup, man! I wish I had the space for one of those guys.

yea, they sure do. hes housed in a relatively small tank for now. once he just about doubles in size i plan on getting one of those cheapo above ground pooly things for him and my sturgeon.

they really are amazing fish, i hope i am able to sustain this one for a prolonged period of time

theres a thread in "frequently asked questions" about each states restricted species list. a quick check there should tell you whether or not they are illegal to keep in your area.

ps. love the sig Five Finger pretty much rocks
