I was in my lfs the other day, and they had these two silvers with still their egg sac, really small, for $60, isn't this price just a bit ridiculus? but in their defense these silvers looked really adorable
 
Really don't know? What is the arowana market like where you live? Have you seen other aros this size for cheaper? Does this store tend to sell at inflated prices? You should be able to tell if that price is ridiculas or not. If not, more research of your local market is needed by you.
 
most aro's with egg sacs should not be sold it is un healthy for them and most dont make it is what i heard from alot of aro keepers
 
i always see aros with sacs in my lfs with about 100000000000000000 newborn fancy guppies for them to snack on. they aren't sold in my lfs until they get a little bigger and they are still only 15 bucks...

thats actually a bad thing. eggsac aros thrive off the nutrients provided in the eggsac. they don't even need to be fed until that sac is gone and absorbed.
 
Ludicriously expensive
 
my lfs sells silvers with eggsacks for $9.99 but you have to order them....
