So buying them, keeping them, is saving them, even if it means you'll only be able to house them for one year, its still better than them being butchered. 3" babies, very nice markings, can live in brackish, as their parents were grown in brackish. Or you can convert them into marine water, let them think they've made it into the ocean. When small they swim like a clown fish, wagging their tails. $100.00 each.

I've caught them many times under rocks with no water at all. 3" buggers $45.00 each. Did I say these are my favorite???

I am told you may be the guy to get a marbled lungfish from. Don’t see it available at the moment. How often do you get them in, and what is the usually price shipped? Coming up on warmer months and I would like to track one down.
