Armatus everywhere!

[mad ness]

2 seperate LFS here told me that armatus have been banned for export (not import) at the source, that the ones that are coming in are smuggled. true or not? If not this is a great sale's pitch.

looks like the $50.00 2" Armatus will not happen again though.

I'm in the thinking that someone picked them all up before they got advertised and is trying to sell them for what other less popular vendors like to sell them for to turn a profit for a fish that they put a down payment on but couldn't afford. Hence screwing the market over. For there own gain.


(although not a terrible idea but The dead loss out of this batch will be through the roof.)

there is no problem just saying the $50.00 armatus days are over......

to bad they never got advertised on MFK for anywhere near that before someone else picked them all up. to turn a profit for some other fish.

They're selling like mad! Watch the "Armatus Market" crash. I know it'll happen eventually, but it's going to suck, especially cause they're such great looking fish!

Exactly what i ways thinking.

One of the guys thats selling is even shipping thru infinite.

And he's not even a vendor so mfk is getting screwed as well.

I would guess rich didn't want the hassle or the gamble. So a freind probably funded the project and now is giving all of us a good screwing.

Thanks fellow mfk member

Those guys in the Amazon in the grass huts only wished they got $10 a fish.I have talked to many of the collectors and they get paid like almost nothings. 25 cents is more like it.

Thats an interesting theory.
