Whats VA like w/ good quality LFS's...?[/quote]
If you're speaking of northern va then you have some really good options out there, not many strictly fish stores but some good shops nontheless. also you have access to many stores in MD and DC which you can get to in under 45mins in most cases.

I don't think that wolf is 2'. I'd say closer to 18" and that dorado looks like it'd probably be around 5-6". A 10" dorado would have had a much more solid colored tail. They aren't usually still transparent like that at 10". Still a nice fish though. The wolf is a mala, just to confirm. And just so you get an idea on price for lacerdae, mine was $500 at 5", and that's not including shipping.
Hmmm....thats decent....NOT CHEAP, but no AIMARA PRICE EITHER....LOL....Do you think 5in is about as small as you will find em, cuz they're cheaper the smaller they are correct...?
Um, not necessarily. It depends on the rarity of the varient, not just in the US, but in the hobby and in the wild. What I mean is that lacerdae are very rare in the US because Japan and other asian countries are willing to pay top dollar for their fish, that's one level of rarity. Then there's also the issue of their availability in the wild and whether or not the wolf is in an area accessable for capture. So there's different factors that will add up to the rarity of the wolf. Larger wolves don't ship very well either. Most of the time when they come in, they have really bad ammonia burn and torn fins and usually come with some parasites (like fish lice, etc.). All these factors add up to the price of the wolf. But, sometimes the bigger fish are hard to sell because not everyone has a tank to accomidate a larger size wolf. That being said, you'll get the most for your money buying a larger wolf that's in good condition. The smaller ones are a lot harder to come by because they are a lot more manageable in size and the price is cheaper, so when they are available, they aren't for long. Sorry I know I probably made this confusing, but there's a lot of factors that go into what's available and why. I just tryed to cover all basis for you so you have a general overview on the subject.
Thanks KRSwop1....well all that being said, makes me nervous about ordering online. But I dont know about any shops that carry Wolves here. So guess I gotta go online huh...?
Yeah. Online dealers are the best way to go if you're looking for something a little more rare than your run of the mill LFS fish. Just find a trustworthy online vendor, many of which are on this site, and ask for pics of the actual wolf before you place your order. You can always send the pic to me if you need help IDing.
