Does that mean that I would need to import? I'm hoping I could just do it with an LFS...

Ordering them online or ask someone from the LFS if they are able to get them. However getting them from the LFS there is very slim. Not many Asian fish dealer carries them except Wets African lungfish. It even took me 3 years to get mine, till I found a private dealer who can get them in the wild for me. Ask someone in your LFS if he got a reputable private dealer who get there fish from the wild.

But aren't their captive breeders of SALs?

There are captive breeds too but I'm not sure if there are some in Asia. Japan and Indonesia will most likely to have them, but most are wild caught.

Ok. Would getting a 4 inch baby be difficult?

Not at all, you just need to find a supplier to ship it to you. Most captive breed for sale are around 4-8 inches, but they are not available all year round.
