Captive bred AUL Australian Lungfish just imported into the US

[Stillwater]

Early this morning the first captive bred AUL Australian Lungfish arrived in the US from Jardini International . They arrived in perfect condition at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport at about 1:00 AM. The 4 young specimens are settling in and eating well. Special thanks to Jason at Jardini International, Dave at NorthStar Aquatics, and Mike Maki from Premier Aquarium Service for pulling all the right people together to successfully import them.

Outstanding!....good to see the little guys somewhat available once again.
But are they really the first captive bred AULs,I was under the impression that a previous dealer bred the specimens that he sold and exported back when he was in operation?

The video will not play.

These are the first from Jardini and from the Pine River population. I have some great photos of the female parent and there are photos of the male breeding group too (not sure who the specific male is). I believe some of the other breeding stock was acquired from the other Australian breeder, but these juvenile AUL's are from other specimens specific to Jardini. I will check with Jason at Jardini to make sure I am getting the details correct.

That is fine.I am clear on your meaning now....and the video is playing now.It no longer says "private".

Great news congratulations!

To touch on the conversion, there are quite a few from the old source in the country. I'm excited there is a new source making moves!

Bigtime pickup. You're in the major leagues!

Amazing hopefully this means they will become more common over the next 10 years. This is the one fish I can honestly say I would trade all my other fish for in a heartbeat.
