They grow to about 12"-15" and they are $35 I'm going to pick them up from someone next week. They retail for $45-$55 so I guess the guy just wants to get rid of them.

K on the 3rd I will have the payment if that's possible I'll take one. Will give me time to research and set up a tank.

Here is the info from fish profiles, they say they only grow to 11.8 inches but I have seen other bichers bigger than that. http://fishprofiles.com/profiles/freshwater/OthersFW/Polypterus_senegalus/
If they survive the transfer I'll save one for you.

I'm waiting to hear back about the size, age of the fish, and what they are feeding on.FishVixen wrote:Okay so I need a 55 gal tank with a cover. What size are the ones you're getting?

I've never been much for arowana or knife fish. I like eels an loaches the most, favorite right now is the Tanganyikan Zebra Eel. I have one right now and even though it rarely comes out it has quite a personality (P.S. it's in a community tank)Fern wrote:Yes me and vix defiantly want one! That would satisfy my arowana craving!

I have wanted one since I saw one in a restaurant we used to go to when I was little, but the size tank they need has kept me from getting one....

Weird, no reply from the guy with these fish. I bet he found out what they are really worth.

Sometimes deals that seem to good are not deals!
