Could it be possable that those orginal fish from Germany were spread to the righ people and places because I have seen A.moae on lists from Holland, Germany and other European countries. Also these fish find their way to America. I know of several importers out there bringing in these fish for the few years. The question is now does anyone out there have any of these fish? I know at the conventions many such fish are available. A picture would be nice so we can see if they are the true A.moae.
