You're right. 3.5-4". 1 in stock.

Fila prices are funny, sometimes $120-$180, other times well over $200 or even $300-$400.

Whilst both fish look like fila, I find it funny that the one listed as fila looks most like capa of the two.

Capapretum looks like this,

-- larger spots,
-- front and head heavy unbalanced (when small)
-- larger less balanced caudal peduncle and fin:
