David R Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 ~14" male Ornate Bichir. Not actually for sale [yet], just contemplating a change of direction. Juveniles are around $80, and they'll take a few years to get this big.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 wow impressive - looks much better than the small ones I keep seeing. as for price that's what Trade me is for - an auction is probably the only way to gage what he could be worth - cause hes only worth what someone is prepared to pay.

David R Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 A trademe auction would be more than gaging interest, it would be taking the risk that someone is prepared to pay a good price for it! I know its only worth what someone is willing to pay, and I'd rather see him go to a good home than to the highest bidder. That said I'm certainly not taking any lowballer offers!!!

Simian Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 and I'd rather see him go to a good home than to the highest bidder. That said I'm certainly not taking any lowballer offers!!! Dam but seriously hes worth at least 150-200 even to the tight buttocked people on this forum they live for 25 years and at 14" hes still got some growing to do so you cant really apply the argument that he's past his prime.
