Hi All!
Please, help out. I am placing this call here for hopefully better exposure than in the Catfish section.
Leiarius pictus young 1.JPG
My friend and fellow fish head from Orlando Jeff aka V victor448 has been looking earnestly for another Leiarius pictus specimen. He has some and had raised scores of them and studies them in such depth like no other hobbyist I know.
The season is running out and it'd be greatly appreciated if someone helped Jeff find the object of his heart's desire. There are a couple out there currently, like at BlueGrassAquatics and Exotic Fish Shop, but Jeff needs to start with a perfect, undamaged specimen to make his study relevant. In particular he is making strides in understanding the erosion of pictus luxurious dorsal fin and the underlying reasons.
He has been trying most of our usual vendors but so far to no avail:
-- Wes Wong of Rare Fish
-- Raymond Chan of Amazing Fish
-- Mark Chen of Discus Origins
-- Jeff Rapps
-- WetSpot he hasn't tried yet but will
-- Monster Aquarium
-- Gunpowder Aquatics
-- John Kreatsoulas aka snookn21
-- Predatory Fins
-- other MFK vendors, like Aquascape, etc.
-- reputable vendors on Aquabid and Ebay.
Thus, the hope is that someone might see one that he missed or point to a venue less traveled.
Thank you in advance.
