Definitely not a Lates Japonicus, last one i saw for sale was several hundred bucks.

depends on where u are at, in japan 2-3 inch Akame (Japanese Lates) went for about 9000 yen (85 USD or so). Not sure what they would cost in singapore.

 

[channarox]

hmm...
yah,related to sea bass definitly.
85 USD?
thats twice the price i got mine for.

Lates Calcarifer or barramundi is a maricultured species in Singapore, it is the same the "Kim Bak Loh", or "seabass" here although I find the cultivated fish not very tasty. Malaysia government gives out fish fies to stock fish farms for free so imo the fish shouldn't be so expensive, unless its imported from Australia or something!
