Gotta ask Henrique about more precise information on the Belo Monte dam... :roll: About the ban/ dam/ amazon destruction relations... IBAMA is a so-called "third-scale" agency of the brazilian government, that is subordinate to a Ministery and the President (in this order), and a small par...

Barbie, Let's try to clear up some points... :wink: Is the person reselling these fish breaking the law. or is it the people exporting the fish? Is there a law against purchasing them at our end? I'm asking sincerely as I know for a fact another friend was offered some newly imported zebras again re...

Blue has zebras AGAIN, but they are NOT listed here. His ad in PC contains the zebras at $400.00, BTW. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Best regards.

Dave, I'm a member of the IBAMA staff... Wouldn't post this kind of information if it wasn't the OFFICIAL position. Both "INs" (Instrução Normativa) are valid and in use now. Can't ask ANYONE to believe me, but I'll try to give as much official and first-hand info as I can. Oh, I'll work o...

I´m a brazilian biologist, with 20+ years of fishkeeping, and a member of the IBAMA staff. I'd love to see this magnificent fish become...
