Going rate for a nile perch

[snow]

Did you miss the giant LOL @?

I think it's FUNNY... You know, like HAHAHAHAHA...

You all are hilarious. I make one little comment as a joke and you all get all offended. Thanks for making my work day pass quicker.

Anyway, what you may find odd is that I agree with you. It is food.

I simply don't think they are Aquarium Fish.

And how am I a hippie?

Stop already dude and that goes for everyone else. I did not want this to turn into a bashing thread. SEE this is what I hate people who need real help don't get it in their thread yet there are 28 comments in this thread. BTW none of you guys answered my quesion during this bashing thing besides maybe only 2 people?
All of you go out and help other people, like my other thread about my Fly river turtle I rescued, I needed to pull some teeth out on the forum in order to get some help.

MODS: YOU CAN CLOSE THIS THREAD.

Eitherway a LFS that had one around here had an 10"er for $99.

Back on topic,and that is a really good price.

$150-250.

So I asked the fish store guy and he told me their nile perches are on live food. Now I'm re-thinking this. I don't want to put one in my main tank if it eats live food. I can house him in a qt tank for awhile but I don't want to wait long. How long does it usually take to get these guys off of live foods? I have shrimp,basa,calamari and anything else meaty that I can try to get him onto.

So everyone is saying somewhere between 120-250 is the norm for them. This one with taxes etc... would come out to about $150 so not a bad deal.

First day i got mine he took shrimp on accident when i was feeding my bichirs. It all depends on your method & fish, some are very stubborn.
