8 available, 4-5 inch, eating anything and everything, prefer to sell at a group. bought them here a while ago when they were 2 inches or so.

$30 ea or $200 for all

Just a heads up on the species, with that bottom growth form and anal fins those look like Mylossoma Duriventre. I just picked some up recently from snookn21. If that is indeed the correct species 200$ for 8 is quite steep IMO.

GLWS though. :thumbsup:

I don't know what they are and I don't know what they are worth? I paid around 30-40 ea when they were 2". I am making room for some new fish so I decided that I like these guys the least. If anyone is interested, please make an offer. I would like them out sooner than later.
 
Right on. I won't guarantee it but I'm pretty positive they're Mylossoma Duriventre. They grow a bit bigger than the regular Metynnis Hypsauchen and are sometimes referred to as Giant Silver Dollar. Kind of hard to find detailed information on them. If they are Mylossoma I would certainly go have words with whoever charged you 30-40ea for them at 2" as that's insanely expensive. Typically you can get them for like 10 bucks a pop at that size.

I definitely would have made you an offer if you posted them a bit earlier (before I got my quarter sized ones 6 days ago) as those are the same size as my other SD and the ones I got from snookn21 can't go in my tank yet because my O ate one since they're so small so I have to wait for them to grow out in another tank.

Again, GLWS and hope that bit of info helps you with species/pricing on these guys.
 
agreed lfs in sgv sells those for 8 bucks a pop at 2 inches price is steep i see wide bars going for 30 at that size by my house
