Lei Arowana - 16"+

[JasonsPlecosCichlids]

What are these guys going for around 16"+? I know where one is at and they want $400 for it, I'm going to get it after X-Mas I believe. I will talk them down and give them some fish to trade towards it.

Thats a okay deal. They r rare & hard to find. Post some pics when u get em

I thought it was sorta high but I'm sure they will work with me like they always do. We are going back after x-mas for sure so I should have it in my tank next week. He is missing a barbel thou but other than that he looks great.

where is that? may have enough space in my tank for it... (^_^)

missing a barb brings down the price..

 

[pshtex]

if it only has 50% of its barbs doesn't that mean it is only worth 50% of the price??

 

[Arowana718]

As long as the barbs grow back then buy it. Have them bring the price down a bit caz of the barbs. Bargain

Will the barbels grow back?

Is this suppose to be a (bad) joke ?

Will the barbels grow back?

Barbels do grow back as long the tank is big enough and water quality is good. When I got my old lei (check out my threads for vid) it was without barbels and they grew back within 3 months.

The price is a relative thing. If you like the fish and have room for it buy it and enjoy it.
