who said you were joking! I would love to swim in arapaimag's humongous tank and maybe even bring home a few monsters back...

this never gets old!!

Geez...thats awesome! I've seen aba aba for sale at Earl Mays in GI mud...haha...but they were only 1" long and died the next day...indeed very fragile. Glad i didn't get any. Did i mention they were pricey at sucha young age? This is a STEAL! 15"!! WOW!!

 

[redtailfool]

aba abas are true oddballs. for a 150 , its a steal ..

 

[Big Business]

are you expecting any more of these anytime soon or are they seasonal? I'd like to get a good sized one

 

[fishnthings]

so do you have any smaller ones.. ive been looking for a yr now and found nothing

 

[Big Business]

are abas seasonal? or do you just get them in sporadically because there is not much of a demand?

I have a 12" in a 60 gallon wth a 10" BGK, four 5" lizard fish, 5 3-4" albino sailfin pleco, and a 3" freshwater pompano jack that Alex at FISHROOMPLUS was selling. The Aba seems like just being playful and not messing with any fish. But when I notice the Aba eat, it has a pretty strong bite, thatn it bites a medium to large goldfish in half or two pieces. I just bought twenty 3 inchers swimming in a propagation tank, gallon with a 1 lbs of black worms , but lost 6 so far. Hope they all get to 5 inches and bigger.
