EU retailers for A. Agasizii?

I'm setting up my first aquarium since moving to Europe, and I'm looking for recommendations for a trustworthy source for A. Agasizii. I want to know what I'm buying is coming from a reputable source. The best LFS's in Portugal are all several hours' drive for me, so getting them shipped is about the best bet.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Shipping across country borders within the EU is not that much of a problem. BUT: It will be expensive. E.g. when you buy from an online retailer in Germany:

Price of the fish: 30-40€ for a pair. Edit: Just saw the prices at tropicwater.eu, with a single fish starting at 9,90€
Extra packaging: 10-20€
Shipping: roughly 50-80€
Total: Up to 140€

Across borders most retailers don't give any guarantees for live arrival. Even the most reputables. You may also expect that the retailer tells you directly that the whole commotion isn't worth it and forgo on what is basically a loss for them.

I would rather bite the bullet and get them myself from a store a few hours away than risking shipping if I were you.

Hello Martin, though I am not sure if I am adressing the right person, I still hope I am. I got 2 trios of Apistogramma psammophila from you some time ago. I was lucky to breed them, too, but, unfortunately, I got mainly males, 15, and only 2 females. That's why today, I have only three males left.
Kind regards, Michael (Hagen-Hohenlimburg)
He recalled that General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm had praised these achievements, noting that institutions are no longer the main bottleneck to development, with challenges now lying in implementation.
Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.
