Over there
I just went to the lfs this afternoon to get feeders and asked if they can get more payara's in and he told me that it's now illegal to have them here in CA! He said he used to get them all the time and just this week he was looking to get more and the wholesaler said that they can't get them anymore because they are now illegal to sell. Does anyone know if this is true? If it is, that really sucks!
 
Don't know if it is true or not but if it is it surely does suck.
 
Wouldn't surprise me...
 
They might misunderstand and thought you were looking for piraya

At first, he didn't know what I was talking about because they called them sabertooth barracuda's, not payaras, so I showed him a picture of the one's I already had and that's when he told me everything.
 
What LFS were you at ??
