Misgurnus fossilis

[Slough Shark]

Does anyone know if these are sold in Canada? I'm sure they are common enough in Europe since they are natives, but wasn't sure if they are sold as pets.

Thanks,

Hi Slough shark, M.Fossilis are not used in the aquatic trade to my knowledge ! i thought i saw some about five years ago , but could not be certain , i should of bought them at the time but faultered , and have never seen them since , i'm 48 and have been keeping loaches since i was 9, and have always been curious about Misgurnus loaches , the Anguilicaudata are pretty much always available , but sadly not Fossilis ! the nearest fish appearance wise at least to my mind is our old friend L.Guntea , i'd love to keep Fossilis , in my mind they are quite stunning , and pardon the pun , but they knock the spots of their old Japanese cousins !

Yes I agree. Thanks for the help.
