Unfortunately, you can?t. In 1991, the Australian Department of Fisheries, concerned by the rapidly decreasing numbers of the leafy sea-dragon, declared it a totally protected species. Leafy sea dragons are now officially considered a ?totally protected species" in both South and Western Australia (where they are found) and can no longer be captured or sold. The South Australian government only allows one brooding male to be collected each year for scientific purposes. Captive-bred hatchlings born of the brooding male are sent only to educational and research programs such as accredited scientific Aquariums. Tutuzdad-ga |

Musicman, Tutuzdad posted his information as a comment, so it is not an "answer", and is not an answer, since you asked where you could buy a leafy sea dragon, ... :-) |
