anyone got any idea how much a 6" disc hysrtix should cost over here in the UK? one of my lfs had one for sale at £150!!! same price as a motoro the same size! i maybe wrong but i thought hystrix were one of the cheapest rays!:confused:
 
retics are often listed as hystrix which is why people think theyre cheap. a true brazilian hystrix will cost you quite a bit. just i guess but id say anywhere in the $300-600us area.
 
Get a pic 1st if it's in a LFS 99% chance it's NOT a hystrix no matter what the LFS tell you

It's the same when buying on line it probably won't be a hystrix

It used to be dirt cheap before the ban. I got my first pair for under a 100 euro years back.

You can get them for around 70-100 euro pcs in holland and germany. That will be your best bet.
 
Trying looking on aquarist classifieds!! A friend of mine just bought an arapiama from a company called aquatic oddballs!! If they don't have what you are looking for they contact someone they work with as I am interested in a leopoldi from those guys!!
Hope this helps

Sorry to derail:

Are we talking Arapiama Gigas here? If so your friend must have a massive facility....any pics?

i saw this advert before but was very wary as there is no website or phone number?

i figured it wouldnt be a true hystrix but whatever it was it is not wrth the same money as a motoro at the same size!!!! :screwy:
