I actually feel that the current situation is better. The demand more than supply makes the fish more precious & sought after. It's just like altums, only available when in season. If supply is greater than demand, it'll become a "longkang" fish, past examples are LH & now the arowanas. See how the prices of Aros have nosedive cos of over breeding. The aquarium fish trade is slowly diminishing cos ppl dun find it a prestige to keep such fishes.
Now every tiger keeper long to have a ST in their tank. Those who have treat them like treasure. The more difficult to get, the more precious they become.

I dont quite agreed with you, cause ST are banned from exporting out of thailand legally. The only way is smuggle out and the process requires certain fee.
Can local singaporean compete with the china man, Japanese buying power?

What you are saying arowana or LH cheap? Good red arowana and LH still commands very expensive price.

Crossback are cheap? those are what you called the leftovers from a batch of fishes.
