New pickup - my first poly!

There is no such thing as "ripped off" though. It all depends on where you live and what is available.

I paid $40 for a 2 inch ornate. This would be considered a "rip off" if I was in an area where they are common. They don't show up around here. I was actually out of town when I got it.

The only few ornates I have seen were 5-6inches and they wanted $100 bucks for them.

That ornate looks skinny!!! Time to beef that bad boy up!

I like that fish and think you stole it at that price!

For those who said "rip off", what is a good deal in your area? That is the asking price in my area, (usually for a 3 incher) as anything beyond than the odd senegal is rarely encountered.

Good luck with the ornate, they are a great fish.

price is a little high in my area but nice bichir
(motoro sting ray run 200 for a pup in my area though, can get cheaper just have to look)
