Hi Kaya,

I have 8 polys:

1. One 20"+ Endli.. Bought at ~8" at 1300
2. One ~14" Ornate..Bought at ~10" at around 1000-1200 (<-- not sure, as I got this from an friend/hobbyist)
3. One ~8" Delhezi .. bought at ~4" at around 500
4. Four Endlis and one Ornate --- bought at ~3-4" at 450 as a bulk deal (for 4 Endli's and 2 Ornate.. One Ornate didn't survive)

The most expensive ones among the commonly available species are (surprizingly) Albino Senegals, which do not appeal to me at all... I have not seen Del's for sale since I bought them about 8-9 months ago.

Endli's are, BY FAR, my favorite among this list..I think most lower-jaw species share this look..

Hence, I am on the look out for other lower-jaw species..

Cheers,
Sid


PS: Just realized this is a very old thread :)
