Located in NYC, never seen one before but came across a baby juruense, about 2.5". They are asking $90 for it, seemed a bit steep but then again, i haven't seen any others. Thoughts? How hardy are they when they are this small?

Thanks!
 
In NE USA and along the east coast, the usual price for a ~3"-er is $25-$45.

They are reasonably hardy, not like a bullhead or a channel but somewhere in the middle of the "hardiness" curve.
 
Thanks, seems like they were over priced (as this shop usually is). Going to see if I can work him down, or may just pick up the little marble cat instead!
 
snookn21 on aquabid has em for $30ea. He used to be on mfk but he no longer graces our presence. I would highly reccomend him.
 
I highly recommend John Kreatsoulas (aka Snookn21) too and I visit his fish house as often as I can but one must remember the shipping fee then: http://www.freshwatertropicalfishonline.com/ - his website, click on IN STOCK PRICE LIST.
 
Thanks guys. With the cost of shipping included, it's roughly the same priceas the one in the store. I ended up getting him down to $65, I'll post pictures later tonight! I have him in with a few mystery pbass that are roughly the same size.
 
Not the best price but not bad. You'd likely pay about that after shipping if you bought from a vendor on here anyway.
