phoenix44 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 you should be able to get a green for about $500 or so. getting rid of the silver is a problem though. not many people want such a big fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trav Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 i don't know why getting rid of these fish sounds so hard they are amazing it's just the size factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 maybe a little small they can be hard to transport as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 he could go in you babys tank :lol: And please everyone more help i really need to know more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 snookie has an asian, green i think he may give you some feedback when he sees it personally i like the look of the silver better than the asians (aros that is) they are more like eels the way they move and they get bigger ring around your lfs they may know when some are coming in again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I know one supplier that has a few greens left. The wholesale price is rather high, and the price it would retail for would be much higher unfortunately... maybe around 700-800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trav Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 there are the one that some times come on trade me which if i chose to sale Solomon then i would be hopping to buy one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 yep , there are a few around for sale , (whole sale) but you would probably have to go through a lfs or may be lucky and catch one on Trade Me , mine is full of personality , not as mellow as a silver , also you may need to grow one out in a separate tank , as you have larger tank mates , the larger the aro the more its going to cost you , David R and the one and only Henward (Higher grade aro ) :roll: , are also fellow asian aro keepers happy to answer any questions here or p.m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
