Is Mokelembembe Consider Rare?

[Fishes33]

Is Mokelembembe or Zaire Green consider rare bichir? uncommon? common?

 

[peewee]

i believe it's the rarest upper jaw sp.

 

[Fishes33]

my lfs sell them at $35 each, worth to get?

they have green head too!

I don't know about over there in Canada but here, Palmas Palmas are pretty hard to come by although i've only ever seen both the Mokelembembe and PP on sale once each. I'd say get it, but be prepared for really slow growth.

$35 doesnt sound bad, what size are they tho?

Though (IMO) there is no real "rare" Bichirs anymore, Mokes, Palmas Palmas and the like are uncommon.
It all depends where you live.

But tbh, I am pretty sure your LFS has labeled them correctly.
I have doubts that true Mokes are being sold for $35.

around 8"

50/50 on buying / not buying on my part, because I am not a big fan of bichir...

It's my first time of seeing green head bichir in real life, so I have to ask

They are in Big Als too!

I have seen H. Armatus sold for $25 here too! Crazy deal! xD

 

[peewee]

that's awfully cheap for a moke!

 

[NCStateFisher]

they're probably retros or palmas polli labeled wrong, but if they are mokes at 8" jump all over that

can you guys post a pic of what moke looks like?

thanks
