[PhullTank57]

True Channa barca... (think only 8 in captivity now... and 4 are in museums??)

think the ones you are talking about are Brochis splendens, the rarer and harder to find sp are B britskii and B multiraidiatus

Yeah, thats the one. Emerald brochis. Very nice corys, very active and large. I need a bigger tank so I can have more.

Where are you talking about? We get them quite regularly here in Japan. But then again we can get jsut about any fish here in Japan.

ausi lung fish are protected species

i really want a trahira erythrinus erythrinus

There's no such thing. A trahira is a common wolf, hoplias malabaricus.

An ery ery is a hi fin/rainbow wolf.

T. Pustulatus, T. Abei, and a true T. Schroedeneri(sp) .. All 3 of these puffers are really hard to find, and I'd love to own any of em..

But here is a super-rare fish, never seen because they often die in transport.. I know of only 1 person who has succesfuly kept one.

The white knife..

I can get you those miles
