A pet store in the Phoenix area (about 90 miles from my home) is looking for them for me but don't know if they will be successful. Few aquarium societies other than cichlids and pond fish. Apparently not a lot of people in USA have them. I am determined to find them!! Thanks for your responses ...

Hi - I'm a new member. Seems like you have a very diverse group of members worldwide.

Have a 70 gal tank and am looking for "Megalechis thoracata". Noticed breeders in other countries, but wonder if any of you breed them in the USA. Found a place in Florida but shipping would be almost $100 - ouch ...
