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 part of the ...

This is sad... But as already said in this topic, the increased demand makes it more tempting to break the law.

Something I really can't understand... Why most "against-ban" people who would immediately buy any zebra pleco found in the LFS have no sign of breeding in their tanks? No use to a nice ...

Oh, things have changed a bit in my life... I won't disappear again, at least not for long.

Best regards.

Ouch... I got a worse lapse this time. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Really sorry for this, guys... Let's start again here. :P

Oh, Blue has zebras for sale again... But didn't offered them here, just in PC. I wonder why... :twisted:

Dave,

Thanks for the kind words. I'll try to help as much as I can. :wink:

Best ...

Just to mention...

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

Best regards.

Daniel.

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 on the ...
