Not to threadjack, but is that just another name for an african brown knife, or something different

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!

If you bought they off toyin you could get them shipped for cheaper than $100. As for a lfs selling them they are around 50. I have seen $80 for a really big one. Delhezi are 30, and Albino Sens are 12. Endi are always the most they are normally 80, but my lfs said they could get them in for me at 40.

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.

O

Ive seen ornates (about 4 inches) for 50-60$
Endi are about 60$ for 4 inches.
