How much do u guys pay for your bichirs? Around me they are VERY expensive. A regular small senegal can go for $30-50 depending on store. Then other types or albinos are even more!!!! Am i just cheap or is this a little expensive? I have wanted to set up a bichir tank but i dont know if i will cause i could only afford 1 or maybe 2 if i find them for a little cheaper...
 
Where do you live?
P.senegalus senegalus (dinosaur eel) $5.99 at petsmart
P.ornatipinnis (ornate eel) $49.99 at petsmart
P.p.pollis $20.00
P.delhezi $30.00
anyothers of course more

Those are local prices that i have paid.Prices will depend on where you live and the size of the fish -Anne

And depends on the country also for example in Australia P.senegalus senegalus
will cost $100.00 Aus
 
yeah wow - I got my senegals at petsmart for 5.99, and other LFSs around here (phoenix AZ) have fully grown ones for like 15-20$
 
from 6 to 225
 
I live in Central California on the coast. There is a petsmart about 45 min from me so ill look there, i havent been there in along time.
 
Even Petsmart is getting pricier, or perhaps it's just not a good time of the year for imports(???) $37 CDN last week for senegalus!!:WHOA:

Of course that's the first time in over a year anyone around here has brought them in, so they didn't last long.
 
if you want quality for price call rehobothaquatics.com ask for toyin will ship anywhere and has great bichirs of all sizes and prices. :headbang2
 
Averages from Brazil:
senegalus: 20-40USD
albino: 80-180USD
ornatipinis: 150-250USD
delhezi: 150-200USD
