Nice. Prices are not really any different except the L25. Too bad L24 is not on that list.

It was the L25 price that got my eye.

I just saw on PC that L24 IS on the list! Yay!

The notice of species is good to know, the pricing I don't understand. This guy is in Florida and it sounds like these are his cost prices FOB Brazil? Strange thing to post publicly like that, the pricing I mean. If that is the case, the pricing would be quite a bit higher after all the paperwork, freight, handling etc.

Well I just posted what I saw. I haven't seen any price lists so I wouldn't know. It could be FOB prices Brazil. At least the L25, and 24 are on the list and not banned which, I think, will cause the prices to drop slightly. They are still a rare fish and difficult to catch, but at least now they can be exported through proper channels instead of being smuggled. But I'm not going to get into a debate about ethics here. I'm just glad that they are available
Also, I have also found alot of prices posted on the net both personal sales and commercial transactions.

Sorry if I offended, I was referring that the original post on the other forum was strange for someone to post. I found the info on the species being lifted from ban quite interesting though!

No offense taken. Recently, I've noticed a drop in price of the L260 since it has been put on the positive list, I assume, because they are "legal" to export. I hope the same occurs for the L24 and 25 as well as all the other L#s available. I remember when L46 was $35.00 each. I thought it was alot back then. If you do a search you can find them for up to $300 or more. Try setting up a breeding group.......
It's just nice to see them available and hopefully for a good price. Still they are considered an exotic or rare fish.
Hope to see them in shops more often.
