    Dear BKINGSIGNS.....com,

    one shouldn´t do that for private reasons. If you are a scientist, or
    conservationist who wants to do research you should contact BICA (Bay
    Islands Conservation Association) and AFE-COHDEFOR for a permit to
    export living animals from honduras. You will also need a permit from
    the US Authoritories to import living or even dead animals or parts of
    animals (like shells, corals etc.).

    It takes several months to get the permits, will probably cost some
    more money than buying fish in a store and you will have the risk that
    these fish will die because of inconvinient conditions or illness
    which you could not see before. They probably will also infect other
    fish you already keep in your aquarium.

    So just don´t try it if you have no professional interest in reef fish
    research.

    kind regards

    Sven Zörner
