On the Rio Araguaia, I wish...
Hey I was wondering if anyone knew who might be able to get some of these in or if anyone has one they would like to part with. Please let me know if you have any sources for Brachyplatystoma filamentosum preferably 6-12" and the price. Thanks for your time ~Trent
 
Hey me first, but since all you guys put it up me 4, that means I want 4 lol. I looked it up and these are not a protected species and can be imported legally.
 
I believe they are no longer exported...could be wrong,but last time I checked they were now almost impossible to get and fetching a 500+ price tag even for a small one around 7-8"....I could be wrong though as I thought Brachyplatystoma Flavicans were hard to get,but just picked up 2 of them:D
good luck on the quest...may want to look here if you are searching really hard ;)

I've checked with Raul and hopefully he will get back to me soon. I know he had them in the past and was hoping to pick up a smaller one 7-8" would be great. Scott you ever done business with the company you linked? Thanks ~Trent
 
Ive been looking for a few for a while.....I know the exporters have had some "pressure" on them with these guys...
 
double bump lol.
