I have a tail less silver aro, about 10", like the one Neo has. Is it worth anything more than a regular silver aro? I'm not sure that I like the tail less look and am thinking about letting it go. What do you guys think?
 
I'd say you could probably charge a 100 bucks more for it if you know the right people to sell to.
I have never seen them in person so I'm assuming they don't pop up everyday.
 
i heard some cool defect could jack up the price, i dunno if its tailess, as it greatly reduced the fish movement..but its just me
 
Here are some crappy pics I was able to get with my cell phone. It was hard to get a clear shot, he always turned right as I'd take a pic. It doesn't seem to affect his swimming at all and he eats great.

I had the chance to get one off craiglist last year- so I consulted a good friend of mine, whos advice on arowanas I respect very much- he advised me that its a fairly common defect and not worth the $100 price-but I really liked it, and still might have taken it, but then I found out it already had DE in both eyes at 10"! thats 2 too many defects for a $100 silver in my book-

yours looks awesome and if you do end up selling it, please put me on top of the list!
