has anyone ever seen an African Aro for sale any where? just saw one and it looked like the $#!7!!! if i ever get a big enough tank/ pond i soo want one!
 
i know that petco has a SKU for them...$24.99 if i'm correct.
but i wouldn't really recommend to buy such a(or any) fish at petco.

there's also a wholeseller( i forgot the name) that only imports westafrican fish and also oddballs from other regions of africa. i've seen african aros on here quiet a few times.

it shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of em since as far as i know they're concidered a pest in africa.
 
they've been popping up all over the place this time of year:D
 
Here in hawaii you can get them easier than lei's or blacks.
 
how big are they?

they get like 38" right?
 
i believe oddball has 1 or 2. He promised pics AGES ago. But i guess he's been busy. If my memory is correct there about 16 inches?!
