If you cant find a gold dust, you can get a alternative like palmas palmas, i know someone selling them in cali. Actually he might also have gold dust coming this week.
Well, msg me the info to his shop or his contact info. I’m interested. Gold dust is what I’m after.

I'm not sure if you know of him or not and he can be a bit of pita to try to get a hold of and deal with but Rehoboth Aquatics probably has or can get them.

or follow him in instagram and FB on how to contact him faster, he should have to huge shipment of bichirs this week.
BROOO I have literally been talking to him! His supplier in Nigeria referred me to him. I don’t think he takes me very seriously though. You should give him a nudge for me and just tell him “Jesse is serious”.

Watch Toyin's FB page. If you see what you like, ask how much to ship to your address (Air cargo), and how many pieces is his minimum, along with your name and shipping info. Ask how payment is done and where (CC, paypayl, venmo, etc). Just 1 quick correspondence. Asking a second questions shows you are not serious, and you are ignored. He has enough LFS buying him that he doesn't have time to mess around.

Only bichir I haven’t seen available in the US is a PBB under 8 inches, the rest pop up here and there, gotta always be looking. The licenses etc are not worth the trouble go buy from across the border

My LFS can get a normal Palmas. I for sure want gold dust. I also live in Cali so that’s great. Message me?
