hi samperth,
less than RM10? are u very sure? bearing in mind, if its selling at RM10 per pcs.. i seriously dont think the conservation status will still be
"vulnerable"? its IUCN Red List threatened species - the same
status as overly harvest Betta macrostoma. and question...
why dont people trade b. macrostoma at RM10?if its RM10, the popularity of the fish will just be as much as food fish.. patin, marbled goby (soon hock) etc..
and why dont the kelong fish breeders sell Red Grouper at RM10? why pay RM100+ for the fish? correct me if i'm wrong.
also, another thing to highlight. those fishes that grows to extensive sizes in the wild will
NOT likely to grow as huge as u thought. so dont take that as an major issue. go and check out those fish keepers at indonesia, japan
and taiwan, ur jaw will drop when u check their tanks! sometimes i wonder where are all the msian monster fish lovers..
well all in all, its individual preference.
cheers bro!
Just because you cant access them or seen them being sold/breed in a commercial scale !! Does not mean they dont exist at that price !!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromileptes_altivelisThose you selling are fingerlings bear that in mind !!
Polka Dots , Panther Grouper sell for over RM 300 per KG but I can get them in fingerlings size at RM 5 a pc !! This sp is also
"vulnerable" Am I right !!
This fish (grouper sp as compared to B. macrostoma) can be milked and eggs stripped to produce thousands upon thousands of fingerlings per pair or trio of adult fish !!
You cant compare fingerlings(sold by the inch) to adult which are sold by the kg !! and different market the price do differ a lot ie Arapaima wholesale for less than RM 100 a pc here in Malaysia but can retail up to AUD 2000 a pc in Australia !!
Sorry I kill you cash cow if I did !!

the one he is giving away / selling is fresh water fish.
Added on February 5, 2011, 2:33 pmbro, where do u get this fish for rm 10 ? If this is true
i am willing to get 100 pieces . Very nice looking fish.Sure I can supply that , first you do up an import permit (inter-states one ) and I can supply you RM 10 / fish on this sp (If you need them to be fresh water I can arrange that for a bit more I think - just tell the hatcheries up to 2 months before ) plus freight charges !!
BTW I am Sabah Based !!

cheers bro!
BTW ask those fish keeper in Europe , USA , Taiwan Japanese how much they pay for their Arapaima @ 4 - 6 inch and compare that to our retail or wholesale price !!
Since on Arapaima how many captives are as large if not larger than those in the wild ?? If space and diet provided are right they will grow as large if not larger / heavier than their wild cousin should apply to all sp !!
I am just telling/warning all potential buyer or winner on the size and not asking them not to buy or rear them but you have to bring up "Kelong fish breeder selling red grouper at RM 10 ....etc" !!

Just in case anyone doubt what I say try give this Taiwanese guy a mail and confirm all !!
I know a private hatchery in Sabah who breeds them like nobodies biz - 100 is child's play to them , they do in lot of 1000s or more !!
They do most Grouper ....etc Plus a few snapper !!
