All Rio Xingu Species?

Post by Ed_R »

I'm guessing that not just the L046 but also any othe rspecies from the Rio Xingu is going to be extremely hard to get in the next few. WHat other species come form that area? ANyone doing any breedcing of these species?

Ed_R,
I phoned a store that receives direct shipments out of Brazil, a few days ago as I was after some L316 and L199. I was told that the shipment arrived last week, with some common fish but all L nos were taken off the shipment prior to departure.I think this is only a temperary thing and might be due to the export paperwork not being up to scratch.
Reading another post elsewhere,on Planet Catfish, The numbers of species that were exported out of brazil were in the region of 400. The new list should show in excess of 600. That means more species to be exported . I believe, its only a question of When.
