Paddle Fish

[Chicxulub]

Thanks for the info sir. I've seen ones in captivity in an aquarium in chattanooga when i visited. I came from the philippines btw and those tanks were massive.

Heres the catch though, the importer got the species from China. I know that those kinds are extinct but did they import breeders to China?

I just found that fact interesting (coz even the shipping papers indicate they did come from china.

I believe that now is not the time for me to take care of them but i sure do hope that i get the chance to in the future.

There was one specimen left from the importer so imagine how hard that was for me to turn down. Lol.

To all those thinking about getting one of these, please know that its an investment that needs utmost mastery and care for you to be successful. Dont buy just to boast for a few months or weeks just for them to die later on.

The farm I was working with does regular shipments all over the world, to include China. I'm not surprised at all that there are American paddlefish coming out of China. Pete told me that they ship to China primarily because they like the caviar.

One thing to keep an eye on and be careful of is people in China selling paddlefish that they claim are Chinese paddlefish. Those are extinct and if a life one was found, it would be an extremely highly protected animal and wouldn't be on sale for $69.99. Take any claims of someone selling a Psephurus gladius with an extreme grain of salt and assume they're a scammer.
