Bichir price

[magic]

How much do u guys pay for your bichirs? Around me they are VERY expensive. A regular small senegal can go for $30-50 depending on store. Then other types or albinos are even more!!!! Am i just cheap or is this a little expensive? I have wanted to set up a bichir tank but i dont know if i will cause i could only afford 1 or maybe 2 if i find them for a little cheaper...

Where do you live?
P.senegalus senegalus (dinosaur eel) $5.99 at petsmart
P.ornatipinnis (ornate eel) $49.99 at petsmart
P.p.pollis $20.00
P.delhezi $30.00
anyothers of course more

Those are local prices that i have paid.Prices will depend on where you live and the size of the fish -Anne

And depends on the country also for example in Australia P.senegalus senegalus
will cost $100.00 Aus

I live in Central California on the coast. There is a petsmart about 45 min from me so ill look there, i havent been there in along time.

Even Petsmart is getting pricier, or perhaps it's just not a good time of the year for imports(???) $37 CDN last week for senegalus!!:WHOA:

Of course that's the first time in over a year anyone around here has brought them in, so they didn't last long.

Averages from Brazil:
senegalus: 20-40USD
albino: 80-180USD
ornatipinis: 150-250USD
delhezi: 150-200USD

[DrBranDo]

senegalus are around $10 - $15 here in TO.
others no clue.

[starrfish71]

I have recenlty spent $40 on a 4 inch ornate, $15.99 on a two inch albino senegal, and the local Pet Smart has regular senegals for around $5-6

I would probably order from somewhere to get a more rare species

[reziztor]

In Korea, they range from (senegal) $10.00 to (endlicheri) $80.00. Albinos and especially short-bodied are common here and as cheap as a regular senegal.

do you guys think i got a good deal in getting a bichir palma buettikoferi. picked it up for $50 here in socal:confused:

[rasdbo]

how big was p.buett, i got a 8-10" from toyin for $40 with an extra $28 for shipping so mine was $68 total but was definitly worth it.

[Yell0r0b]

hmm, mine was only 4-5 inches, so basically i got ripped off???:swear:

[dmarinko]

I saw a common bichir for 12 bucks
