Camell,

As I note you live in Argentina and might have access to where similar fishes live, a little experience on finding such fish. These fishes can only be found by methodically sifting through leaf little from relatively shallow areas of water and checking everything that moves (or doesn't move) that's not a leaf isn't some from of invertebrate.

I've not found either species this way, but I have found baby
Amblydoras
less than 15mm, Trichomycterids and Banjo cats this way.

I've never soon one alive either exported or in the wild. I think they are not in the hobby simply as the fishermen have easier fish that sell for more to catch. Who wants to spend hours searching through leaf litter for a fish that would probably sell at the same price as
