Selling Monster Catfish

[Madison Fishkeeper]

Sorubimicthys Planiceps catfish FOR SALE-- These guys are definitely "tank-busters", growing to sizes over 4+ feet. This guy's is currently 17" from nose to tail, and living with an arowana, frontosa, and a couple of polypterus. I've been feeding frozen shrimp, earthworms, and whatever cheap pellet food I can get my hands on. Price is negotiable for a good home. He's currently in Madison, WI.

Gotta post a starting price per forum regs cheif! Then we can get down to business!!!

 

[Madison Fishkeeper]

Sorry all. Wasn't as well versed in the forum regulations as I probably should've been. So far there has been an offer for $50. I also should clarify that the buyer is responsible for getting the fish home. I feel that the easiest means is picking it up, or I have spring break at the end of March, and would be willing to drive it out if the buyer pays for gas. I would also be willing to arrange overnight shipping, again at the buyers expense.

$50 !!! that is insane!!! i know someone out there can give a better offer. If I were you, I would put that fish on Aquabid....that is one awesome catfish. Wish I could get it, but even my 330 can't house that "tankbuster"...why you letting him go?

I agree with Vince. At my lfs that would be at least a $100 fish. Is it a tigrinus? They were selling a tigrinus that was maybe 3-4 inches for $75

Its a planiceps not a tig, and that is a great price. Did the sale go through or is the planiceps still up for sale? I was out of town please pm me again if its still available ~Trent
