A 7 day trip through part of the amazon to collect your own fish, how cool would that be!

Guess I best get my current stock breeding to pay for the trip :)

Unfortunately, you won't find much exciting pleco from where you will be going it. You won't even be close to the place where the zebras are collected. Although, it would be nice if you can net a cousine of that Panaque. That's my second most wanted pleco. What you might run into though are zebras that was smuggled out of Brazil at some fish export company. I wouldn't find it supprising. And even if there are zebra pleco there, you still won't get it as most exotic plecos are reserve for big clients from Japan and Germany.

Yup.... I would be going after small Hypans... it'd be so cool seeing some Panaque in their natural environment though. Wonder if there are any companies that do collecting trips in Brazil.

Although I have to wonder which part or the Amazon they are touring.

And this one : http://www.amazonfishingtrips.com/amazon-adventure.html#Anchor-tropical
