someone with MassiveAggression. We emailed back and forth, and he said he had a variety of species so I asked what he had. This is EXACTLY what he said:

i dont deal with the vendor you spoke of but i know of them, practically only other african importer, but i bring them in once a month or so, i specialize in piranha and stingrays mainly, and other predators and oddballs.
Obviously I spazzed and emailed back, asking about the Bichir Bichir. This was in early Sept. Reply was:

they wont be prices until landed, i have to make sure they come in ok and see DOA and feight etc. keep in touch though ill keep ya posted.
I haven't heard word since, and yes, I've been on his behind about it. Requested pics, quotes, asked if they were in yet two or three times...
So yeah. I think they're impossible to get.

They appear to have bred them in Japan so its probably only a matter of time till they are farmed-Anne
