I was about to consider trying to find a few odd jobs to make another $200 or so for what I assumed was a $150 fish with $50 shipping but a $450 fish with $50 shipping? God, I spent $700 on 5 bichirs from them a while back with the most expensive one being $300. This one bichir would be 1.5x more expensive than my most expensive fish. Not wanting to spend another $400 on fish, at least not yet. Good luck to whoever gets him. Hopefully it’s someone on mfk that’s a bichir freak.

Also I’m not sure if I should use the love face or the shocked face ?

Price is up there. These likely are from Rehoboth. There is or was some big wild caught Senegals for under $80 on eBay recently. This can be another option.

Just reading here, the high price is dictated by wild caught / and being large?

Lake turkna from what I understand is able to produce much larger fish than normal. The normal senegal gets to 12 inches or so in the wild I believe, there have been near 2 foot senegals from lake turkana.

Lake Turkana was a very dangerous collection point thus costing more to obtain fish from there.

Now you all know how we feel in Australia, $450AUD is pretty standard for a small Senegal Bircher here.
