Ornate vs Senegal with Saratoga (leichardti)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just thinking of one, as they are $800 AUD ($600 USD) each even for a baby.
Also 2 may fight each other? As well as put a lot of strain on my filtration. I have no interest in breeding them.
Thats crazy expensive, $600 for a ornate.

Price and rarity are directly connected to the regions we live in... only live once and cant take the $$$ with us. Hope to see some pics soon

Agreed. Prices in my region aren't reflected in others either, but I've never regretted a bit of extra coin for an awesome fish.

Yeah tell me about it. Australia is unique because it has very few people, a huge landmass (more expensive transport), high minimum wages, high taxation, and is an isolated island with its own evolved ecosystem so the strictest customs in the world. The confluence of all these factors make owning desirable rare exotic pets prohibitively expensive if not outright illegal (eg., arowanas). Even Johnny Depp got into trouble with not declaring his two yorkshire terriers to quarantine on arrival LOL.
