[DrownedFishonFire]

that reminds me if anyone knows if Isaac Zimerman has been caught yet?

did they find a new population somewhere or are these coming from breeders?

i remember buying one of these for 30 bucks when i was a kid. at the time, it was the most id ever paid for a fish.

New collection point to my knowledge and they have yet to be breed in captivity hence the sizes that are available

the eyes make them look fierce, i've see some in our LFS and its going cheaper than $3500

I found one At petland 5 inch for 90

I bought one in the 70's at Kreesge's. They were an offshot of Kmart's,anyway it was in with common plecos, 3 dollars for 5 inch commons and 5 dollars for 5 inch common with blue eyes. LOL It hid all the time I wouldn't mind one again but not more than a hundred bucks or so.

I also remember blue eyes being $25 at 8" all over and considered quite common. Had a few in the 80's and had to get rid of them, all they did was attack my other Royals 24/7.

Can't understand all the hype now especially at these big bucks.

Agree with Jackson, a Goldline Royal would be much more desirable and affordable.

I don't remember them twenty years ago but I am happy to have paid 850 for my 12" blue eyes! Found his spot little fighting even with my 14" goldline! Blue eyes are impressive plecos
