Thanks! There were some skinnier ones, but Abner's scales were in the best condition, and so were his fins. The LFS had 3 Motoros (2 at 8" disc, one that was about 14"), 4 or 5 Arowanas, and a couple of other things in a ~150 gallon aquarium. Still think it was a great find, and it cost me $98. I imagine that $100 is about average for a 10" Aro, but that is just a guess. How much do Silvers and Blacks usually go for?
I got mine for $60 dollars he was about 5 inches anything 10 inches and up are 70-100 dollars. Also depends on where you live prices seem to vary quite a bit.

Thanks for the reply; I am glad to know I got him at a decent price!
One weird thing he did today- I heard that these fish are skiddish and sometimes jump from their tanks. Well, mine jumped clear out of the water and hit the filter media bucket above the tank, almost knocking the frame over! I was in the tank with a net cleaning some debris from the bottom and BAM! That sucker hit the bucket (full of media, quite heavy for me to lift) like a ton of bricks.
Luckily, besides being a bit startled Abner seems fine. Scared the wits out of my little reticulated ray, though. She buried herself and didn't come out for about ten minutes.

Thank you! I have the water params at perfect; I threw some aquarium salt into the water column. Is there anything else I can do to help his fin heal?
aborted snookn21 has some wild silver aro's @ 8'' for $25 plus shipping, and a 10''+ for $50. I got an 8'' shipped to my house for $60. He can also get blacks if a few orders for them are placed at $175 for I think a 4-5'' one. Lets see some more on the turtle overflow as well. Crazy setup!
