Free Astronotus sp. "Venezuela"

[Stella]

This is one of the wild caughts from Jeff Rapps. He's pretty beat up for the second time. I have him isolated and will keep him for a few days to a week until I'm satisfied that he's going to make it and then he's got to go. He's about 2.5" TL and is already trained to pellets and frozen food. He may have some scarring on his sides, but has all his fins. I will ship at buyer's expense and risk; USPS overnight only. It's about $20-$25. Alternately, he can be picked up in East Texas or I will hold him and hand deliver him to anyone who is going to be at the Dallas North Aquarium the first Saturday in November.

Thanks,

Laura

I have a 55 he can have all to himself if you can ship to MS. Of course, the 55 is only 'til he's big enough to go into the 285 or 360. And , if he doesn't turn into a bully, he can share the 650 with the normal and albino pangassius cats and african aros.

Sounds great, Oddball! He's all yours. Give me some time to pamper him and make sure he is going to be okay and I'll PM you about shipping info.

Question: what does sp. mean when you do a scientific name? does it mean that you are unaware of the spelling? or does it mean something else, ive always been curious.

sp. = Species
spp. = Subspecies

Often times you will see sp. "Nickname/Region" if they are an unidentified or morphed species.
