Roy Saric on facebook
last i know he sold out
Gabe Posada- Santarem-
Just got in heckels- getting his new Santarem shipment in 2 months
I purchased some wild peru greens through the wetspot before the holidays...Aquatic clarity and purefishworks has some wilds from time to time as well and I see wilds available at a few LFS in the area too though I do not know what wholesaler they are purchasing from. Sad to see that John is having problems but I can't say that any of my own experiences with purchasing with him were ever smooth as it took me weeks to get in touch with him through email and phone to the point that I was about to give up and I know I am not alone in my experiences. His shipping though was excellent and most (but not all) of the discus I purchased from him were of good quality and health.
Wilds are still available at the wholesalers,
Last months there were wild blue, green-
Peru, and wild Heckel-Nova.
Sorry about the departure from importing wilds guys, but time and school started to compete with each other.
If anyone is serious about importing wilds as a wholesaler let me know and I will pass down my contact info for WBSabby.
But please only serious inquiries only, someone with an established facility/business and import permit. I don’t want to distract from WBSabby operation answering multiple inquiries with no actual desire for a minimum 6-8 box order.
David Labell imported from Hudson last year. Was that a one-time thing?
I wouldn’t mind stepping in for John on a seasonal basis but I don’t know for sure what is going on with him and I’d hate to step on any toes.
I think anyone that imports from Hudson or Hugo will learn it’s a one time thing lol. There’s just no comparison what photos they post on FB to advertise their ‘quality’ vs what you get from their back room after they get your money. Their best fish go to Europe while they try to get the same $$ from US....
WBSabby has been the most consistent, trustworthy supplier of wilds I’ve had and I went through all the ‘best’ in Brazil. They aren’t perfect but they always try to rectify things, while Hudson and Hugo will tell you somehow it’s your fault lol.
I don’t think you’ll be stepping on any toes, John and I did not compete for the same customers. He bought his fish from a wholesaler in Miami, I buy mine directly from actually fishermen catching and selecting them. Different quality and price points.
I’m not sure if he will be making it back but I hope so, financially he was always right on the fence and I’m not sure how far the hurricane damaged pushed him over.
Besides the wholesalers and Jack Wattley (Gabriel Posada) , Myrtle Beach Discus carry them every once in a while.
Breeding , interest and goals Wilds Heckels and Cuipeuas and a few Domestics pairs with occasional fry as well as Angels fancy Plecos , corys and shrimps.
Ryan,I wouldn’t mind stepping in for John on a seasonal basis but I don’t know for sure what is going on with him and I’d hate to step on any toes.
I think you would do an awesome job! Actually I know that for a fact and would recommend you do it

Wild Heckel (Nova) 4 inch available in San Francisco
Bay Area a few weeks ago.
hmmm, It has been a while, but I imported wild discus for a number of years, the entire discus system is currently empty, I'm sure I could start it up again if the demand is there, I know two of my suppliers are still in business.
