Here's a pic of my big guy. This is the official thread so I can bump it up over time as the group grows. I am going to pick up x2 more at 4:30 today and will get pics of those up shortly after they are acclimated. Just saw them in person and they are beautiful....

beautiful fish!

It's weird that juvie abalios are all over the place but you don't see too many adults. How big are the ones you are picking up?

I know, I can get juvies all day but adults that are healthy are hard to find in my area. They are about 6". $40 each. I am a regular customer so we will see if I can get a discount. Crappy cell phone pic from when I was at the LFS below.

Acclimating right now. Posting a few pics while I wait....

You see the size compared to my guys in the middle. My Mapiritensis on the left checking them out.

Here they are. 2 of the 3 lights are off to let them chill and get used to the tank so it's hard to get a good pic.

What are the chances of finding a pair almost exactly the same size as mine? Hopefullt by tomorrow I can get some better pics. (yeah i'll clean the acrylic after my WC, sorry)

wow, great find! :thumbsup: wish I could get a few like those to join my lone male.

Thanks Peter, how did you tell yours was a male? I think the larger of the three is a male but don't know how to tell the difference???

Thanks brother! I have been looking forever. Some of the trailers are torn up but they will be back in no time.

Thanks! I actually felt kind of bad about the quality of pics. Bad lighting water spots on the acrylic etc... Appreciate the compliment though!
