Just wanted to be clear on whether you were referring to jurs or farmed vs wild caught.
 
Jurus, but on the farmed raised ones. They are not real. Where's the info on this. Maybe they catch them tiny and grow them out a lil before they get shippped but definitely not raised from eggs to juve fish for sale. Idk where anyone gets that from? And if im wrong, plz send me a link to where its said

I'd like to see a source for that info as well.
 
from what i've seen over the years tig prices have been for the most part pretty stable haven't heard of any farming going on via natural breeding techniques as for the comment krich made about their availability as much as the brazilian government has been cracking down on exports of wild fish as of late fewer exporters are taking the risks to smuggle them into brazil because from what I understand all of the imports from south america have to be flown out from there airports

Interesting,thanks for that bit of insight.I think I recall reading somewhere that tigs migrate as part of their breeding behavior?

Tigrinus come from peru- and people smuggle brazilian fish into columbia for export because brazil has tougher regulations
 
I read about the farming in an article by one of the exporters. I'm sorry, but I didn't bookmark it for documentation. Farming wasn't the main subject of the article and it offered no details.
