How many of these peacock bass are coming through Segrest with these importers...? Im just curious because I know that the "super rare albino silver arowana" that everyone seems to have a few of right now was imported by Segrest and then re-distributed. So how many of these guys have other importers, or are all the cichla imported through segrest?

I can confirm Discus Origins, rapps, rt 4 aquarium and Aquascape all improt direct from south america, not through seagrest.
Segrest lol...
Just out of curosity, how does one "confirm"? Not saying I dont believe you, please dont take it that way, just curious. I mean I dont think theres any harm importing through segrest if segrest is able to get its hands on some rare fish like the albino silver arowana that they imported to the states for the first time ever.
I know the owners of rt4 and Discus origins, Rapps always direct imports , and aquascape being to there place you can tell when something comes out of the amazon or from florida.
I'll have to keep an eye on Segrest's lists. I didn't think they had that many bass available. They usually have one of the better availabilities among the large wholsalers, and great service too. This all coming from a retailer's perspective, as I don't think they deal directly with individuals.
They have a better selection then most other wholesalers that cater to the midwest at least, but I've never seen them carry any notable bass either. Even when I was in the retail fish business, I still got my fish from Aquabid and Jeff Rapps. Marine fish though.....that's a different story. Some awesome marine vendors out there.
Segrest definitely has pbass, I figured they were farms too. This is why I was surprised that they were importing those aro's, so I didnt know if maybe they actually imported their bass too.
How do these guys get in touch with people in SA to have these fish shipped here? Seems tricky to me
