Yea, I just noticed that yesterday...
I'll ask Wetspot, as there are lots of other fish I want from them.

They had them but sold out. I just missed out! I'm sure they'll get some more at some point... the question is when.

Contact World Wide fish and pets in Connecticut he will have them for $15.99, they will ship as well. The only thing is that they are captive bred.

$15.99??? They usually go for $200!

Not on their stock list.

Wetspot just updated their stock list. They have some available for $200.

Are you 100% sure they have had CB Schouetedini? If that's true it might be worth waiting to get a few vs one WC....

Did you get one? I just put one on hold- have to pick it up by end of day today!

I'm thinking of starting it in a 10 gallon to grow a bit. At what size will the 10 gallon be too small?

I am really happy I put it on hold because it was the only one left in the tank in their storefront. (They usually keep some separate for online ordering.) He is probably a good full 2 inches.

I emailed them & offered to Paypal them for 3 of them, until I was able to put together a bigger list for them.

At what size will the 10 gallon be too small?

I'd say, 3".

Exciting! Keep us updated.

Yayyyyyy!

Mine was pacing a bit the first 24 hours or so but has settled in now and exploring everywhere, looking for food. He ate live blackworms out of tongs, and then hunted loose ones down. He's also eaten a ramshorn snail off of tongs (I was trying to place the snail on a piece of wood and it didn't want to come off so he just ate it from the tong. Haha) Either way I was happy to see him eat and already off of the tongs makes me happy so I can spot feed him if necessary. The bichirs are pigs but they hunt by smell - since this guy hunts by sight I believe it might be a good match.

I removed a ton of the MTS out of my tank and bought a bunch of ramshorns and threw them in my Betta tank. Am hoping that they'll reproduce there but am not sure? I don't want to foul the betta water but I know the snails will breed more readily if there is excess food.

I am off to read more about feeding. Do you guys generally feed every other day? That's how I feed the rest of my tank. How much do you feed? I know snails should be about the size of their eye - do you feed one snail per day? Doesn't seem like much but I don't want to overfeed either.

I really hope that this combo works out long term because this is like my dream tank now, and I cannot stop staring at it.

Is there a way to embed youtube videos in here?
