Does anyone know where i can get this species and at what price?

thanks

They are not available. The closest you'll get is an A. chrysogaster, but those are very few and far between these days.

They are not available.

 

[Iwishihadgills]

Why aren't they available?

 

[criccio]

Seychelles are a World Heritage site.

 

[Iwishihadgills]

whats that mean?

 

[stykthyn]

means you cant take fish from there

 

[Iwishihadgills]

wow that sucks. So is that the only place these clowns are located?

 

[dalston]

Yes, they are indigenous to the Seychelles, much the same as Omanese are to Oman...

 

[Iwishihadgills]

thats a shame because these are beautiful fish

 

[Iwishihadgills]

For the people that dont know what this fish looks like.

Long live the sultan that rules over the area and won't allow westerns even a biology collection permit...

 

[Iwishihadgills]

Is the island just south called coetivy part of that nature reserve?

 

[Iwishihadgills]

or what about bird and denis island just north?

 

[stykthyn]

isnt that area a no fly zone anyway? I wouldnt want to be caught anywhere near there.

"Caught" being the key word.

Smuggling. It's not just a job. It's an adventure!

Regardless of what the exact rules are. Anyone who takes anything for the Seycelles is just wrong. Its a place still untouched. I hope noone ever takes even one of them or anyother thing from there.

check this Aldabra where turtles are the dominant species. I belive it is the most pristine shallow water reef on the planet.

Diego Garcia/British Indian Ocean Territories(BIOT) way to the east is the no fly zone you are thinking of - huge US/UK naval base.

I disagree to a point. I think biologists and researchers should be allowed to collect them. My perspective being that with global warming and lowering salinity and increasing acidity of the oceans, the only functioning reefs left in 50 years might well be enclosed in glass. We should be collecting and propagating every species possible.

Now that almost makes me want to reenlist.... almost.
