Buying Large Dats in the US

[banesbane]

Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a large 8+ inch Indo, NTT or NGT - aside from the marketplace here (where there aren't many/any in my area), or monsteraquarium inc does anybody have any suggestions?

LFS can't get them regularly either.

You probaly already mentioned your best bets lol.

Where is your area? Are they even legal in your state?

Interesting,I wasn't aware that they were not legal in some states.

I'm in California which tends to be the most restrictive, and they're definitely legal! (I've bought and own 6 juvies)

K krichardson - I figured I had, was mostly curious if anybody had any other sources.

I guess my best friend here will be patience in growing out what I have and waiting for the right ones to come up!

I know in Maine you can't own them.

Might be worth making a WTB thread in the marketplace forum.

I'm in NorCal - it'd be a lot easier if I was in SoCal. I've searched Craigslist every day within 200 miles of me for the last 4 months and nothing ever shows up.

I see plenty on here from socal but they're pickup only and the 7 hour drive just isn't practical.

If you know something about finding them in NorCal though, please let me know!

If your seeing the big dats only 7hours away and can't get them around your area I would drive to get them. I've driven 47hour and 26.5hour round trips for big dats and who knows how many other trips under 15hours. I know some of these dudes do shipping too. Comes down to how bad you really want big dats.
