Just wondering about the normal info on this fish and what is the availability and price. I've seen some pics from other users and I love it. Hit me with some pics or info. Thanks guys.
 
They are pretty hard to find compared to other Lates sp. I think only Levi(Rallysman) and Ed(vanimate) have Chinese perch. You can PM them and ask them about their beautiful lates.
 
Heres some pics of when I got them and now

They're totally awesome fish! I've been looking for some more but haven't had much luck. They're not really picky on water parameters. I've read they do fine in fairly cool water, and mine is doing great in tropical temps. Once you get them off of live food they'll eat pretty much anything (Mine never did get on pellets). It's not too difficult to get them on dead food, a little starvation will do the trick. As you can see in Eds pictures, they have a pretty quick growth rate.

Here is a pic of mine:)

Man, both you guys are so lucky! They look great! Where did you get them and how much did you guys pay? Thanks for the responses guys.

It's hard to believe, but I got mine at a fish store in central Indiana for $40 (he was 17" at that time)
