Another id please. Lonely bass in lfs

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Im an hour north of philly. My local shop got one in for me from his supplier in NY. I requested 3 but its all he got. I got the rest of my fish from NY. Either Monster Aquarium or Fish Town USA. Both nice stores. Monster Aquarium has more peacock bass than anywhere else ive been to.
 
What else did they have? I'm looking for orinos, azuls intermediate. I know the vendors have them but if I can cut out the shipping that would be awesome
 
I want to say $125-$150. They were like 3 inches.

If you think this is pricey for the rarest cichla on the market you are crazy!

SOme of you new guys have no idea the way prices used to be. Cichla are now being bred like cats and dogs all over so the prices on them have dropped dramatically. When these intermedia first appeared in the hobby at an obtainable rate for the avg Joe they were easily $500ea. Xingu were over $300 for f1 before they were being bred all over the place. Bass have come down in price so much its ridiculous! So wipe those baby tears and enjoy the cheaper than all get out prices. The huge price drop in bass is one of the reasons a lot of OG's aren't around or into them much anymore. Ive kept most bass over the years. But to this date a good looking orino like heatherbeast heatherbeast has is my holy grail. Cant beat those perfect occelets in my eyes.

So enjoy what ya can get and quit crying about the already lower than low prices.
 
Lol. Relax gangster gangster . It's all relative. After a while the intermedia will be like the rest as people are successful in breeding them and they become less rare. I never said it was an unreasonable price. Just more than I feel I would spend on one. Keep in mind I recently spent $250 on a tigrinus so I'm not against buying expensive fish.
