How'd you end up w/ a Cuban? I haven't been on this forum much lately.

I bought all the gars in the display tank at Mike @ h20's. 28" Cuban gar, 26" Tropical, 24" Tropical, 20" Florida for $1,500.

I'd probably be willing to dish out a few hundred for one or help bring them in in bulk at the cost of buying my own gar.

Thanks for the input, Sol.

what do you mean?

looks like they'll be about 5" and cost $550 resale. I really can't afford one, but I don't see how I can pass up this opportunity.

who are you talking to for these estimates, or are you generating them on your own?--

that's awesome and at a good price, too. And to think you ALREADY had a sick collection :D


Looks like a local vendor is getting them so that's probably not an option. I'm not sure where they're getting them from or how many are available. I'll ask and see if we can get a better price for a larger order if there's enough interest.

I'd most likely take one if they are a couiple months out from being available
since they arent cheap theyll probably be available for a while. i'm not sure when the vendor will be able to get them for sure, but it sounds like it'll be really soon.

I'm anxious, too :D
 
Taiwan had some for export, I was going to order a few but the cost price was astronomical. Really 600 for a 4" fish is not even close to what I figure it would cost if we did actually get some in.

Will just go for the 2'ers that are already in the country:P

wish I could find a 2'er that was already here :D
 
cool but way too much for such a small fish. they were running that at 2 foot just a year ago. Ill pass. Add in the fact that cubans are rediculously sensitive as far as gar goes esp at small sizes. Im out. not worth it IMHO
