Elopicthys bambusa the Chinese tiger fish, these fish get so big and predatory in the wild, locals thought it was the lochness monster.

Some of you may remember the first 2 in the United States, imported by Rare Fish back in 2004. They are very fast growers, and not afraid of people, as you can see in this video. Also you can see pictures from local fisherman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RrFD2ZhPb4

They can tolerated a wide range of temperature from freezing Siberian waters to tropical 80s with no problem.

If you live in the colder states you can put them in outdoor ponds and they can survive icy winters! In the wild they can get over 6 feet long!

We have acquired a group of them, 3" long babies, $100.00 each. Limited supply only, and this fish you'll not find anywhere else.

for the 3rd time offered by Rare Fish, these are wild

Siniperca scherzeri 7-8" long, eating cut smelt already. These are super rare Korean perch. They can reach 16" in the aquarium setting and will readily take frozen food. There are less than a handful in the United States! $200.00 each
