$3500 for a 10" blue eye wow

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
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. :grinno:

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