One of my LFS has got these 4-5" Ornate Bichirs and they look great! They are 322.50 each. Is this a good Price? I've kept bichirs before but just senegals. Should i go for it? And would it be a good tankmates for an arowana, 2 fire eels and some Datnoids?

322.00 each and that's L right?/ Not US dollars?/ WOW That is like selling a convict for 50.00 us dollars!!!!!!!!
Over hear they are at most 110.00 and that is for aroudnd 8-10" But usually you see 4-6" for 40-60.00 US dollars. Well in this state :)
Supply and demand huh :)

If ur talking in euro that's expensive.. Well in India they r about 1000 Rs..that is 30 $ U.S
322.50? That's not a typo? Should come out to $500+ american. Depending on the size of the jar, your ornate may become a snack

Over here in the West Coast US they're $50 for a 10"-12" Ornate.

Haha and I thought someone was getting shafted worse than us here in NZ!!! In the last 8 months small ornates have gone from being virtually impossibly to get, to a few available for $130, then down to $99, not down to $89 and in most of the decent shops! I knew I should have been patient.....
