Beautiful new Ornate Bichir at a smokin price

[Ockis27]

Hey what's up everyone. So my lsf has had this beauty for a couple of monthsand I've been eyeing her since the day they got her. They were asking $100 which was a little steep for me to shell out. Well over the course of the time they had her they were needing to sell her and marked her to $50. After talking to them I brought in 6 opaline gouramis that I was wanting to rehome and walked out with this beauty for only $25! Super happy, well here she is
She is the smaller one and already about 8-9 inches.

Very nice! 50 isnt bad at all for that size of an Ornate, IMO theyre only worth 100 once theyve topped 12-13 inches. Looks just like my ornate, same size

Thanks man, yeah I was fine with paying $50 but $25 was a steal for her and I was really happy to hear that they would take my gouramis for store credit, sadly there aren't many fish stores here that will do that for you.

Oh yeah, getting 25 bucks for 6 opaline goruami was a pretty good deal.. all my locally owned LFS that do trade ins are sharks. They tried saying the most they'll give me for my 7 inch (at the time) red hi fin wolf was 25 and I know they'll slap around a 60$ price tag on it because most people around here can't handle wolves, they always die so big ones are rare. I would of been happy with 35 or 40

Yeah I hear ya there, when they told me how much they would give me for the gouramis I was stoked. Dang $25 for a 7 inch wolf is a low ball offer, I have yet to find any of the wolf species here in AZ.
