Where to Buy bichirs

[Askaleymanfish]

As the title says ... Need to get some (wild caught) bichirs to replace some that iv previously lost .... I am having trouble finding any decent places .. Found one who only sells wc endlis and had no clue what kind of endli it is ... Guy on here recommended a place but only seen they have bv endli and congi... Don't rly wanna go through rehoboth if I can keep from it do to his $$$$ shipping costs ... I'm looking for laps any besides Nigerian .. Ansorgii ... Endli (not a black volta) already have one and dabolas... Any body got any good recommendations for the u.s. ....just seems to by the bichir sells have almost grinded to a hault everything is being sold cb .... Very lame

How much is rehoboth charging for shipping?

My two go to places for bichirs have left the business as well. Good thing I've owned the full set at some point.... seriously sad.

Last time I checked wit him shipping was 75$ considering the other 2 Ppl I went to only charged me 16$ .. I'm not digging the 75$ on top of the couple 100 I'll be spending for the bichirs

What kind of shipping is it? I know it sucks to pay this much for bichirs, but for me I think that it shows yourself how much you actually want that bichir. I know that a couple of times I've gone to great lengths to get a certain bichir. It may cost more (especially now-a-days with all the CBs), but if you are really trying to find good quality WC bichirs the prices aren't cheap. Shipping seems costly, but I've learned better be safe then sorry and to always go with the safest method (which almost always costs more) for the bichir and my mental health.

It seems the poly sellers are becoming far and few now a days. But if your getting several from toyin then $75 aint too bad. Plus his stock is supreme. Once you get those bichirs in your tank you will probably be happy they landed safely. Can try aquatic day care and AHA as they seem to have bichirs regularly. They do fedex for about $45 and that's 2 day. Which is a bit risky but bichirs are resilient.

I personally don't find $75 that much considering how badly you want the fish and that the fish arrives to you safely. I'm currently waiting on a goonch I've been looking for forever, and im paying 200 plus another 80 for airport to airport same day just so it arrived to me safely

I discussed this with some one else but not sure who. It was someone in the poly forums. But there was some roof damage to their store (aquatic day care). That maybe one reason why. I did purchase my chaca chaca from them and it was about a month ago. Contact was thru email. Got my wc del, poly po and my chaca by priority for $45 thru them. It's also a location and season thing too I'm sure. $75 is a bit much. Wonder if it'd change if it was like summer, you know. But if ur getting more than one bichir then it maybe worth it. What ever you can afford.

What most people don't realize is that 99% of those who sale (resell) wc bichirs got their bichirs from toyin to begin with. He is the main importer of bichirs into the US. $75 will get you SEVERAL bichirs from him airport to airport overnight. His rates are actually very good IMO. Last time I ordered 4 LARGE bichirs for like $80 and I believe i could have ordered more for the same rate. He is the only guy who generally undersizes his fish. Ordered a 16" bichir, received a 20" bichir. If you compare his prices to past prices from other vendors, his prices are CHEAPER than most..... and sometimes wayyyy cheaper.

Amazing Fish on FB. Ray has some coming in a couple weeks including 24" Ansorgii. I just got 2 24" Nigerian Laps from him. I think he might have a couple of those left. Send him a PM. On here as well. I don't know how frequently he is on MFK.
