Ornate Polypterus Pricing ?

[Miles]

Was thinking they are harder to find when they are larger.. There was one a while back a bit thinner for $99 but it sat for ever and eventually got discounted..

If anyone wants to trade a 16" Bichir for a ray let me know

 

[rallysman]

I've got one at 10" for free, and the other at 5" for $30, but they're both 14" or so now.
I've had the one that was originally 10" for about a year and the smaller one for 1.5-2 years.

my lfs is selling a 10 inch one for 60. but i think its been there a while

 

[ArowBichir]

sounds pretty good it would cost me a lot for 16" a 6-8" cost $35

 

[andyjs]

I saw a 22" or so one for $180 a couple years ago. It was a MONSTER

 

[Tongue33]

I can only imagine.. 4-5" I have seen sell for 39-45.00 and 6-7" for 69+

I'm getting my Ornate either today or Tuesday if they can order some in. It's $45 for any size of Ornate from 3" - 10"+. (The fish store people don't bother changing the prices according to size here. ) But yeah, that seems like a reasonable price.
