I have only seen this guy on time in person at a LFS and of course he was not for sale. Any one know what this is? It was in a full blown mixed reed when I saw him.

$250-350. They are pricey, but absolutely incredible and a gorgeous fish.

Just saw one for $300 but it was sold already. I had one a couple of years ago and it was a great fish.

You can find them at NY aquatics, Michael used to get them in a couple of years ago, under $100 ea. I had a trio for some time, easy fish to keep IMO.

Send him a email, if ur interested.

I bought one today. They are so hard to find you kind of have to save up and just buy it when you see it. They are usually available this month and next month and thats it. I have been waiting all year.

Awesome fish. Unbelieveable price though. I wont have enough cvonfidence in my new system for atleast a year. Thanks for identifying it for me. Fish is beautiful.
