Blue Kai Aquatics Is Back!

Doing the lords work!! Thank you - this is definitely an area of unmet need for the hobby. I think anyone that has successfully kept a gig past the first few days or so knows the importance of starting with a healthy, treated specimen.

Question - have you considered any suppliers in Vietnam, and/or can you source gigs from Japan? It seems like they get a lot of the blue ones (my personal favorite), along with some other really vivid colors. And do you plan to propagate them?

Attaching a photo/video of my current big blue.

sooooo pretty! I can get blue gigs in Indo no problem. I've actually spent a lot of time in Japan over the years. Their prices are basically the equivalent of USD these days minus the exchange rate, plus their collection rules (I believe) is limited similar to Thailand. In fact in Thailand collection of gigs (from what I understand) is actually illegal. I did used to buy gigs from a source that was getting them from Vietnam, but I no longer have that contact. Indo will be my source for the time being. I have a lot of contacts there now.
 
Glad to see you back. I think that I got one of...if not the last....gig as you shut down. It is still doing great...although a monster now.

Love that shallow reef!!!!!
 
I leave for Indonesia tomorrow night at 11PM. There is no direct flight to Indo, so I have a 3 hour layover in Taiwan for a total travel time of 25 hours LOL! My first stop is Jakarta where I will visit one exporter then fly to Bali to meet with a second exporter. Over the past month and a half we have been in contact with over 50 exporters with varying success. The 2 we will meet with have been in constant communication and are legitimate and ready to do business. I better start packing!
