If I remember a normal P.senegal is like $500.00 but that because they are basicly a black market fish-Anne

I saw a whole tank of them down in San Bernardino but they wanted 45$ each. I figure if I want one that bad I'll just get it in febuary when my friend is ordering some fish.

They are not that rare where I am, kinda expensive for my budget though! I just picked one up a few weeks ago for $30. :woot:

a dude from the site came to my house and gave me one for free so I gave him some fish for free, sounds like a deal to me !

Albino senegal bichirs here are v common....
Theres even a short body variant... cost u US$20 tops...
in NYC, they're selling 3" ones for $40 each.
in the store where I work, we're selling 3" ones for $20.00 each.
they wholesale for like $4.50 each. that's how much I can get them for, but they're too small for me.

nope, albino senegal are not rare, they are pretyy common, we even have short body albino senegal over in sg.
then again, the place where u live in may not bring them in, or ur standard of living is higher, thus ur cost for fishes are higher.
u might wanna try ordering through a dealer in this forum, if u find ur lfs sells it tooo ex..
