You read it correctly. The TROPICAL GARS (Atractosteus tropicus) will be back in the near future. right now richard and i are working on the details and numbers for another small order of these fish. they will be about 4-5" long and available in limited quantity.

keep in mind that in our studies of the family Lepisosteidae, these are proving to be the most ideal gar for the home aquaria due to their durability, hardiness, and smaller captive size than most other species.

in setting up this order it is imperative to get an estimate of how many people are interested in purchasing these fish once they are brought in. we will be going through a commercial seller (yet to be determined, but we have a few we are communicating with) similarly to the first order. prices should be no more than the first order, and we will do our best to keep things reasonable.

there are a lot of people who purchased t-gars last time they were available, and most i have talked to really enjoy their fish. if you have any questions please post here, as well as if you are interested, and approximately how many you would be interested in.

thanks--

i would get one.
 
I would be interested in a few. 2 or 3 depending on price/availablilty. Maybe we'll have better luck this time Solomon.

Thanks,
Chris

Sol, you know I'm in. I won't list an amount since I don't think you can bring enough in.

haha, good to know phil :)

i will keep this thread updated as the info/order develops. we are going to try and keep the prices as reasonable as possible, but this depends on the current freight charges and our importer. realize that richard and i are not selling these for profit, but instead working with an importer so we can get our own fish from this order, and others will be able to as well.

for reference, the last time these were brought in, the smaller individuals (which is the only size we are bringing in this time) were $150 each (not including shipping). thanks--
