2 x 12" phase II available $650.00 each
3 x 16-17" phase 2.5 available $900.00
2 x 16" phase III available $1500.00
1 x 17" super phase III, yellow with orange tipped fins $1800.00

some of the ones in the picture are sold already. These are different than the ones they get from Southern Brazil which have a shorter fin and rounder face., and cost less. The ones from Brazil do not get as big, nor the tall fins or bright orange yellow color.

These are harder than ever to get now days. I had a deposit for these fish earlier this year and the fish got stolen. I know they went to Hong Kong., but stolen from my friends/fisherman.

This time we had to travel with them in secret and the entire operation undercover., and the fish got here and swimming in my tanks. That is one of the reason that I don't advertise or tell anyone about what I'm getting until they're safe in my hands.

Shipping available, serious inquiries only. Paypal or cash, or cash deposits only. Local pick up available in Southern California. Nothing else from Argentina this time, since these were a secret mission, we had to move and act fast.

email me at amazonaq@gmail.com if interested. DO NOT SEND ME PM's here!

fugupuff fugupuff Wes- are they ray safe?

From what I've seen they are. They're more like common plecos the way they feed, they don't seem to grind up acrylic nor are they very predatory meat eating with sharp teeth. they're not very spiny either, I can hold them without gloves unlike the Pseudacanthicus sp.
 
from my experience over the past few years.

the phase two, some will stay that way, some will turn gold, but never turn all black again
the phase three solid gold, will sometimes get more green and gray on the head but never turn solid black again.
I've never seen a gold one turn completely black or gray.,

most people like the ones with the half black and half yellow with gold spots.,
 
Hi Wes. Thank you for the Phase 2's...I really appreciate the quality of them and also hearing how easy it was dealing with you. Question: what temperature did you have them in and recommend? Thank you again, I am so stoked to have these. :) Mahalo

Glad they made it to you safe and sound. They're kept in mid 70s now, but where they come from, the water gets a low as 50s I believe. and during the summer its sweltering heat as usual
