WTB: Lince Cat and Jau

taksan · Post by **taksan** » 18 Dec 2010, 00:59

I'm looking to buy a Lince Cat and a Jau if anyone has one for sale or knows of one please let me know.

They have (maybe had?) a cracking lince cat at Maidenhead Aquatics @ St Albans. Not sure if it was actually for sale though.

Pier also get them in with some regularity, although you probably knew that already.

I'm sure I've seen Zungaro somewhere - I think it was at Wholesale Tropicals.

What proper Jau catfish, Paulicea Lutkeni?
Most zungaro zungaro, turn out to be Pseudopimlodus Bufonis aka Giant bumblebee cat.
Wildwoods ocassionally get in Notatus.

Pier didn't have any when I last visited I left my details with them.

I'm planning another trip up to Pier just after Christmas. I'll try to check - or if you want me to check before I go and bring one back??

If they are reasonably regular on the list, I'd expect Neil would bring one in for you, if you ask...

I'm back on the 6th so I'd have to wait until then anyhow but thanks for the offer. I'm sure they will have one sooner or later. A genuine Jau might be more difficult I was unaware that the Giant Bumblebee was ever sold as a Jau.

I'm quite sure Neil at Pier can get you one to order. Might take a few weeks, and I'm not sure if you need a deposit etc., but if you're set on it, then that's where I'd buy it from in the UK.

He's on the forum from time to time, username sojapat (tapajos backwards...)

Yes I left my number with him. I'm positive something will come up. He seems to be the go to guy.

After I've got them it will be time for the big two .... Piraiba and Dourada.

Then I'll go back making sure I've got every single type of large Panaque.

Then I can die happy.

Hi Gents.
All the Zungaro zungaro I've seen listed on import lists so far have turned out to be Bufonis. That's not to say some P.Lutkeni dont come in. My understanding is that they are on a prohibited export list??
I've been looking myself for about 6-8 years, no joy so far - maybe Im looking in the wrong places

If it's cheaper to bring in more than one piece which it usually is I'd be willing to split the cost if that helps.

Rob, have you tried contacting Neil (sojapat), as Pier are pretty good at getting hold of unusual stuff in general.

Neil says he can get both in if you leave a deposit which is excellent.

Redtailrob · Post by **Redtailrob** » 21 Dec 2010, 09:55

Would only be Interested in Jau (P.Lutkeni).
Have spoken to Neil several times and he is on the case but don't think he has been able to procure any so far.

What sort of price we looking at?

taksan · Post by **taksan** » 21 Dec 2010, 10:26

About £350 he said

Redtailrob · Post by **Redtailrob** » 22 Dec 2010, 10:09

Ouch

Doubt I could stretch to that at the mo with a new addition to the family on the way

Keep us posted as to your progress Taksan

YouTube · Post by **Jools** » 22 Dec 2010, 11:04

£350 for the fish would seem to me to be the least of the costs of owning such an animal for a decade or two?

Indeed.

Taksan, I am aware that u are a large catfish keeper but what are you keeping all these giants in?

Not having a go by the way just interested to know.

It would depend on the size of the fish. I've got tanks suitable for up to 3'TL and the ponds for larger then that the newest of which is going to be pretty big and have a viewing window.

grokefish · Post by **grokefish** » 24 Dec 2010, 12:08

No I havn't seen it which is why i am asking out of interest, any piccys?

I don't think taksan is planning to put the fish into the lake itself in Virginia Water...

I wish .... if I could I would

Until then I'm afraid I'll have to stick with the indoor ponds but my newest one will have a viewing window so it will be sort of like a tank in a way.

grokefish · Post by **grokefish** » 26 Dec 2010, 11:35

Pics?

taksan · Post by **taksan** » 26 Dec 2010, 13:08

When they are in a finished and aesthetic condition I will take pics. The new pond/tank is a pile of panels and frames on the floor at the moment.

Cool cant wait.

Redtailrob · Post by **Redtailrob** » 13 Jan 2011, 11:18

Hi Taksan.

Any update on your Jau purchase??
I'm very excited & very jealous to see this wonderful fish.

Hopefully later in the year Ill be in a position to obtain one of these fish.

RickE · Post by **RickE** » 25 Jan 2011, 15:23

Out of interest, MA St. Albans had Lince Cat around 18-20" TL on Sunday, but it was sold. Marked up at £350.

Redtailrob · Post by **Redtailrob** » 15 Mar 2011, 11:04

Hey Taksan.
You procured either of these stunners yet?

taksan · Post by **taksan** » 16 Mar 2011, 12:33

Sorry I don't login much anymore ...yes ...I've got the Lince ...wonderful fish.
Jau is on "order" but I'm yet to see it.
