Wow, great price for wild caught uaru a. IMO! These are one of my favorite fish, very rewarding to keep. post some pics when you get them!!
I got them last night. The Aquarium Center in Clementon, NJ. I asked for 6 and the guy threw in an extra one. After I acclimated them and added them to the tank, a few of them just laid on their side like they were just about dead. One of the one was even floating almost upside down. I let just them be for the night. I came down this morning and all seven of them were swimming in a tight group in the corner of the tank. I was very happy to see them all alive.
If anyone is in the Clementon, NJ area it is worth stopping in to The Aquarium Center. This was the first time I was in their. They have ALOT of tanks. I have never seen a adult Peacock Bass other than in pictures. They have one that is about 20" or so. I all I have to is WOW, they are incredible. As far as the price for the Uaru's, they have them for sale on liveaquaria.com for $29.99 for 1 1/2-2" juvies. I paid $8.99. I got seven for less than the price of two on their. I am pretty happy about that also. I will post pic's later on today. Any tips on feeding would be helpful?

Thanks. They are eating flake and frozen brine shrimp already. I will pick up some bloodworms.barley pop;1588262; said:
Here are some pictures, though they kind of suck. All seven are doing well and eating like crazy.
they are nice...are you going to try to breed them? you got a really good price for them especiallly because they are wild caught. good luck
I have not thought about breeding them yet, but I could give it a shot when they are ready. I was little apprehensive about them being "wild caught" and not "tank bred", but they are doing great so far.
