I heard males have a deeper head to carry the young and females are wider eye to eye? any idea of the value in the NYC area? I was thinking $250 for a 12" near perfect specimen...thanks Larry

Did you not read my post ? *not yet*

$250 is about right for a fish that is actually near perfect. The fish in the above pic looks kind of rough.
 
I understand not yet...but in 2 years what will be the difference between them?? I would think in 2 years they will be full grown. Looking to expand my knowledge on Aro..appreciate the help Larry

there will be not much different to see in them unless you do a blood test or see them pair up and lay eggs.
