Arapaima for Sale in Bombay, India. (Comments on Quality?)

[Sidrock]

Hello MFK,

I found this Arapaima for sale at a LFS in Bombay. (Price ~220USD)

I am not planning to buy it, but I was wondering what do the experts have to say about the quality and health of the specimen and if it's worth the price.

Thank you,

Sid

looks good.

got a LFS who's got a couple over here as well and he has been begging me to get them out of his hands after he saw how much they ate and how fast they are growing!

i keep telling him sure but only if he builds me a lake first

Nice looking fella. How much do they want for it in India? A few people that go to my school are from India. They go back there when it's winter time. They tell me there are lots of cool fish there.

Can you post details of the LFS and the price he is quoting?

(I have seen this one specimen in the video above and another dozen or so in another shop in Bombay. I have no idea how to "judge" quality of these fish.)

Thanks,
Sid
