do you think they will become cities protected? like the asian arowanas?


They are not rare in their natural habitat, fact is they are considered a nuisance.

so did u only receive 50 so far, and all were dead? or do u have 150 survivors?

Total order is 200pcs,
58pcs die in the bag long long time ,water like starbuck black capucino coffee.Those Pic is 58pcs total ,some is at the bottom of the others dead Leo body.I took those pic is because i want to claim to the exporter.
And he even not listen and reply my email at all.
Next 3 days ,because of Amonia burn,37pcs die also,although i have try my best to safe them.
And the rest of the survivor 105 pcs getting more weak and ,45pcs pass away within 3 months.And i found all of these 45pcs have hook in their stomach.I operate their stomach myself.All of them have at least 1 hook and some even have 4 hook.

And i left balance of 60pcs which is skinny and not eat at all.

200pcs X $ 200 USD =$40000 (not include freight charges)
$40000 divided 60pcs =$666 each (not include freight charges)

BTW,this shipment is end of 2006 (NOV) just before the ban.
And now ,rumours said Leo with quota cost at least $ 1000 usd.
I rather buy a CB LEO -------why?I can't stand anymore heart attack.
So,my advise to all member of MFK--------no more WC Brazil .

NG Im guessing too long in box and no O2...

also im guessing too big of a shipment.....

anyone can handle grabbing a few lightbulbs from the store but if you ask them to cram 2000 lightbulbs into their little car im sure 90 percent will be broken.............


Yes,this is one of the reason also.

Didn't you think the date and the story was kind of relevant to post with the pics instead of getting everybody wound up!





I agree...
 
If let said now the brazil cancel the ban,and everybody should noticed that the price is not like 2 years ago.
And here is my calculation and the risk of lost:

200pcs X $ 1200 USD =$240000 (not include freight charges)
if the DOA and total fish that finally survive is 120pcs,then

$240000 divided 120pcs =$2000 each (not include freight charges)

and if the bad shipment happend again:
then if will be like this:
$240000 divided 80pcs =$3000 each (not include freight charges)

And all fellow asia and Europe ray importer ,please don't tell me that you are not facing any DOA from Brazil or any South America ray shipment.Some of you even not received single fish after money have sent. Peru Axxxxxxx is the one .
