I have a friend in the d.c. area that is selling a hoplias aimara for only $300 i think he is about 10"+ i'am going to see him today, only reason im not intersted because i already have a 16" aimara thats veryyy mean, but at a price like that i can't help but think to get it for my self but believe me this fish will sell very very fast oh! no shipping so dont ask, and the fish was bought from (Rich at Infinte aquatic) where i bought mine an he got his at the same time.
