If I remember there was also a suggestion at the time that the importer
wanted to buy fish from John in massive numbers ( such as 10,000 to 20,000
of each species at a time) for under $1 each for sexable/coloured maturity
sizes. Apparently he was getting the wild-caught Boesmani offered to him in
these numbers
