Leopard Bush Fish and Question

[enricosonic]

Behold the ctenopoma acutirostre or as identified for me here first by @gwand as the leopard bush fish. I thought I'd share some less-than-great photos and ask about online tropical fish retailers in the US.

I'd like to get 2 more of these fish, my LFS hasn't been able to stock them and neither have The Wet Spot or Aquatic Arts. Any online retailers you folks would recommend?

Thanks - here are some pics:

I can't recommend sellers as I'm in a different country, but I can recommend trying. I'm not into fish as large as the leopard bushfish, but I find my 3 species of Microctenopoma dwarf bushfish endlessly interesting to keep. They aren't predators like your Ctenopoma, just micropredators.

They have to be out there. I've see them in stores occasionally, so there have to be slow but steady sales. Maybe the predatory fish crowd is where you can look.

Try Aqua Imports or Aqua Huna

Thanks, Aqua Imports looks promising.

Oddly enough Aqua Huna is nearby but will not ship within Washington State.
