Would anyone know where to even start looking for one of these? I know they get huge, and they dont go cheap. I think just doing a quick search i seen one sale for like 900.00 but that was the lowest.

But man look at the teeth on that thing, that could very well take a hand off i would think.

there is two @ Aquarius world i believe

Yeah they are "NFS" though. But I think everything is for sale with a price tag

300 is what he told me

300 for that fish? where is aqurias wrold? is that here in this state? I would drop 300 for that fish.

its in wite center

Thanks.

You two rock thanks a bunch!

Make sure you talk to Michael, he's the owner and like said above everything has a price..

I didn't ask for a specific person. I'm at work but I got shot down. I'll try again. Can someone be a refernce so they know I ain't some wacko.

yo, if you want to come up on tuesday, i will take you up there.. i live about 2 miles from there. and i also remember a long time ago he told me a price on them. i need to pick up some stuff there... if not i can at least talk to him about it tuesday.

Dude that would be awesome. I'm on a 7 day stretch. No day off till next wendesday. But no real time till sat. I would truley appreciate it if you asked though!!!

man...i would be scared to clean the tank with that monster fish swimming in there.

no problem. i will ask on tuesday.

well i went and talked to mike about the wolffish. he didnt say right out that he wouldnt sale them, but he dosnt seem like he wants to... never did give me a answer, lol. i asked a couple times. i did find this on tangled up in cichlids website.

Thanks guys, he isn't trying to sell it.

Wow, I cant believe how long ago i made this thread. Anyway fingers crossed, I didnt find the aimara for the price and size I was comfortable with. But i have been exchanging emails with wes from Rare fish on MFK, and he did promise me two Hoplias curupira. I was going to get one this week but shipping out of Suriname was delayed till next week, so I asked for both of the small ones he had coming in. I am trying not to get too excited cause i know anything can happen but, I'm keepeing my fingers crossed no doubt. If/when they come in I'll make a new thread with pics. Gonna be some little guys though looking at 3 inches worth of savagery.
