LFS has a 9" Raphael...

My LFS has a 9" Raphael Cat...someone traded it in. In the next tank was a Flowerhorn, about 7". He always carries the same stuff. So, I know these guys are trades.... the raphael was $22. and the FH was $35...IS THAT ABOUT RIGHT ????

I would pickup that Raphael in a heart beat if I had the cash that's a huge raphael. I picked up a 5"+ striped raphael for $15 a few years ago and it was by far the largest I have seen in a LFS. So 9" is HUGE

Easily pick it up. Raphs over 6 inches aren't easy to come by but 9 inches is crazy. Pick him up now!

They have a hard outter shell really. The raphael should be fine. I suggest a cave or covering for him. He will hide alot, well most smaller ones do. Since he's bigger he maybe out more often. Mine loved his PVC tube.

I never heard my croak. Your seriously talking about once in a life time buy for a raphael that is. lol Not many at all people have 9 inch raphaels.
