Hi

There is a guy in FL who has a couple and has imported them... his name is Katfishguy... http://www.rarecatfish.net. He is a really nice guy and if you email him he is usually very helpful. I bought 2 Juruense from his last year and he was great to deal with.

Good luck...

Thanks,

Ended up buying a 2" baby Merodontotus instead

Goslina wasn't meant to be

the G.platynema is an awesome catfish,, but very sensitive. You have to be lucky to get one that is hardy. The first 2 I had died mysteriously with in a month with no signs of disease,,they were eating only live food. The one I currently have is about 18" and is eating shrimp and silver sides and is very hardy. Definitely a catfish to own if you are a catfish enthusiast like me.
