Cuban Gar

[Zeke]

I've seen Cuban Gar juveniles about 5" long offered for sale recently. They were priced at $400.00. What do you think of the price? Too high? I don't know of any others currently being offered for sale to compare the price with. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Good price. Jump on it. I'm surprised to see them around. You won't see them any cheaper than that ever

If you don't mind me asking, where are you getting them from? I've been looking at getting a trop from Primo, but cubans have been pretty high up on my list for a while.

I bought some in germany for 98 euro at the same size.
I posted a picture in another thread here, nice little gars.
400 is much money .

I know aquatic day care has some (at least last time I checked). They're the ones selling the 4"ers for $400

Edit: heres a link to the aqua bid listing http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fw&1426726207

Yep, that's where they're at. I saw them on Aquabid. $400.00 each @ 5".

If I remember the price correctly Oliver lucanus had some smallish ones for $85 I think. I was tempted but heard they're not very hardy...

If I wasn't in Asia right now I would've bid on that gar… Surprised nobody else has, good find!

I have no problems with them.
They ate after the second day , weekly water changes , temperature 28 degrees
and thats it.
They had doubled their size almost in two month.

Do you think with the trade embargo being lifted they may become more available and cheaper?
