Sorry for the crappy pics - hes really small I just can't get good closeup shots. That's a 10 gal tank he's in and it's still real hard to find'em. After reading previous posts I kinda expected him to turn out to be Mac, even before I bought' em. I'm just fine with that. This was only the 2nd Gold P I ever seen sold locally - this price I think was salty at $40 but if you calculate shipping from another location $40 probably about right. Theres Zero chance in hell of gettin' a shoal locally. Last Shoal I bought/for sale locally was over 10 years ago goin' on 20. My LFS choices have dropped to like 3 locations and 2 are petsmarts. That fish place only carries single specimens now after a 10 year drought of Piranha sales. The prices are rediculous.
RBP - 2-3" $80 - super salty. Anyways not sure what you guys are seein' or what your not seein' in the crappy pics that says NOT Spilo, sure would like to know. That Fish is a good reputable dealer with same as suppliers but wouldn't be the 1st time a fish was mis-labeled especially to the untrained eye. He's already eatin' krill and silver slide chunks and seems to be quite the aggressive fish - already chargin' the glass -seems to be well on his way to being an interesting healthy wet pet. Thanks for all your posts!
