Wolf fish ID

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Eyes look Aimara to me.... Might sound funny but seems to me like they have a look to them I don't know how to describe.

Might have to dig up some pics from all the lil wolves Wes brought in....

Thinking Lac cause of the stripe I assume? That did seem similar to those "CF Panara Lacs" IF I'm thinking right......
 
Eyes to small in proportion to the body to be aimara.

And the wolves wes brought in were related to lac is all, that's what the cf stood for. They weren't lacs. I'll search for the pics of lacs and take a screen shot later today. It's pretty distinct to my eye. But cant seem to explain it well. The way it fades into a new color is different from mala for example.

Here's some pics of lacerdae I was able to find, some of which are from mfk, but the post your wolf fish thread is to long to search through.

I know they’re rare but are they really that rare? How much would the 2 above go for?

In the us yes. Can't say how much they'd go for. Wes was selling is cf lacs for over a 100 don't think they were more than 200. But cf means related. Can't say how much a true one will go for if there's truly only Lucy. She's the only one reported on though. I'd pay aimara money for one personally If I had the space for it and funds, wouldn't be surprised if it costed more, because aimara is much more readily available and the lac gets nearly the same size, is supposed to be more community friendly and more active which can be more desired traits.Not sure how true those claims are, Lucy seems to live up to it from what DB reports but, she's only one specimen, could just be lucky.

Thanks for the info bro. If they are really that rare then I’ll just tell my brother to hang onto them. They were purchased for $165 at 2”. These weren’t the only 2 that were for sale from the source so there are a few guys out there who have them.
