P.S. I would pass on this guy. Though laps don't tend to get very large he's also not showing much in the pattern department but he could be washed out due to shipping and white sand. It just depends on how important that $60 is to you.
that reminds me of this video where the dad wants to paint the garage so he wanted to find out if latex would bond to stucco so he was going to search for latex bondage

yeah even platinums of the most common bichirs are stupid expensive so $2k doesn't sound like to far off the mark for a much less common species]. Does that mean I would pay that no it doesn't
A platinum would be bright white unless this is an extremely low grade platinum. i would spend $30 on this fish. nothing on the fish. its just not worth that kind of money
Money/price is all relative. If your in an area that doesnt get a certain fish often then its going to cost more $$$ than other places + plus if you like the fish or have been trying to find it for a while then any price is worth it.
I actually like that lap. Its on crappy substrate and looks like the pic was taken with flash which always distorts colors if the lighting is off
SSteve_C - Here's what a washed out lapradei would look like at first. Attached a GIF file. Click the image and that small lap should move, lol. Consider it a Poor Mans PBB (Nile Bichir)
