Wild Caught Bass....Worth the money?

Slippery · Feb 4, 2009

Hi
I have 2 Temensis and i am thinking of adding a occelaris to the collection.

I have managed to find a wild caught one. They are asking £65 for it.
It's about 12 cm.

It's a nice thought but £65 ( about $120)......Worth it or not?

I am just not certain.

My Temensis were not wild caught

Mind you the guy said it was imported from Germany?

Any other views on this?

I would think that if it was nice and truely showing marking's and the tail tail signs of a true wild then I would grab it. Have you seen any other cichla that compaire to it? If it stands out then I would grab it.

I'm an idiot...totally missed that.

i would probably do it in your situation...just make sure it's wild w/ your own eyes
