True Hydrocynus goliath (African Tiger Fish) 3.5 inch $200

[DIESELMACK]

a lfs near me has one listed as goliath for $275...not sure if it is or not but they do specialize in rare fish...wetpets in pittsburgh area if you live near it is silver with no markings a very large tail and some massive chompers already...approx 4"

I've had 3.5 inch vittatus with no stripes, no guarantee it's a goliath at that size.

Their is alot of diehard Fishkeepers up in the Bay. If and fact this was a True Goliath it would of been snatched up a long time ago. For $200.00 a true Goliath sitting @ a LFS would not last a day once the word get's out.

A friend up in the bay sent me a picture today. If this this is the same fish, it's not a Goliath. It's not even a Hydrocynus Species. It's the same fish that was mistaken a while back that was thought to be a Goliath. I posted a link a few post up.

Good looking out though. That is the ultimate come up @ a LFS. Tigerfangs has proven that it's not impossible to get lucky and attain one from a LFS. That's how he got his. However took him several years to ge so lucky.
