True Siamese Tigerfish (Datnoides pulcher) are available again

They may be chipped. They may be shipped from Thailand.
It would be easy to get a few three bar IT, chip them and export them.
Beware, all that glitters is not gold.

Interesting topic.
The microchip provides a unique number which can be registered to a third party database if one wishes. I use them to identify my broodstock (sex, age, lineage etc) but don't bother with registering the numbers anywhere, just on my own spreadsheet.
I've visited two fish farms in Indonesia and watched/helped them induce and harvest datanoides spawns several years ago. I don't remember what type unfortunately. I was more interested in other fish species there.

, what would convince you? Can't you visit this farm since your already in Thailand?

That's the point.
I have visited an awful lot of fish farm, and have known many breeders.
No one in Thailand expects to get a Pulcher.
Only one farm to visit. This farm claims to breed the fish you want and can prove it's their fish produced with a chip.
It's breeding season and you would see the broodstock, hopefully the whole process. Not worth a look? Or are pulcher ID difficult to confirm even as adults?
I'll send you a private message later. I'm looking to visit Thailand to find specific species fish breeders. If you know - have visited lots of farms, that would be useful. Even if you speak Thai & interested in monster fish, that would be helpful.
