Rare Fish pic From Rare Fish series

While identifications of specifics are difficult with these fish, these were shipped to me as
Tor tor, most of these fish grow to 4 feet plus in the wild, with gold metallic scales size of your hand. They use muskrats as baits to catch them, and until 2 years ago, I've never seen them offered for sale anywhere in the world!!!! So here comes a few pictures, some from the interenet and some from my tanks!

When you get super rare fish do they go straight back out the door?

Or do they sit around for a while before someone buys them?

hmm...depends on who I talk to, and quantities. some fish are one and only, and some I like to keep for myself, and some sell out quickly, so did I answer your question?

this is the one that got my attention, it has mirrored scales like a koi, the fish in the genus are all fully scaled, you make the judgement, catla is the genus!

Yeah, sometimes I don't know if Wes's shop is a retail shop or a private aquarium because most of the rare fish that he has he wants to keep for himself. LOL
