Wright, I have had some of the best and most prolific
specimens recently from some Commercial Imports.
Unfortunately they don't have very specific collection
information -- Nigeria, Kribi, or nothing. But. not
all of them sre that way, I agree. I also know, from
personal experience, that bringing back fish from my
own collecting trips is a difficult process. Therefore
I appreciate even more when I can get healthy
reproducing species from someone else's labors. The
selling price is worth whatever they want to charge.
