DwarfCichlidLvr DwarfCichlidLvr may you stop going to other’s sale thread and posting nonsense? You’ve been going to vendor and individual sale thread and asking stuff that you’re not even interested. There’s a General Discussion forum, if you need to spew your garbage, but Buy/Sell forum/thread is not the place for you to take a dump
Please, don't do it in the GAD. It is a serious forum too. The Lounge is for foolishness.

It was funny to me though and the OP had started it ... but indeed don't overdo it. You don't want JL and folks of his heavy caliber to be vexed by your antics :)

Cool fish, remarkable price, I paid $200 for a 2' one at Gerber's, Dayton, OH in Mar 2016. This is a WAL indeed. I miss mine greatly, 39" 5 yo and 30" 3 yo, taken out by some bug. I'd most definitely get yours if I could pick up.

Air to air shipping from LA to me (SW Florida) is ~$55 per standard box, plenty of room for this fish. Just saying the shipping can be cheaper.

Hope you'd not mind my pics, since you like pics it seems. Check out the crushing vise in the mouth:

I Laugh so hard when I see this huge guys chopping down on tiny pellets
Yeah, they are a hoot when they do this, it's a cruel analogy but they look like people without any teeth chewing and squeezing toothless gums together. Then they half spit out the resulting disgusting, slimed up mush, slurp it back in and go on.

And then don't get me started on their human size turds. They are huge and indistinguishable from those by Homo sapiens...

I hope no ladies or girls are reading this haha...

Yes, Wesley Wong and Raymond Chan sent me dozens and dozens of boxes of fish over the last 5 years. On SouthWest Airline it usually runs $50-$65. Each box can have up to around 40-70 lbs of water. Weight doesn't matter. Just the box size. This is again airport to airport and one must have a cargo account with the airline or use one of their friend's.

It is aso exceedingly safer and easier to ship air-breathing fish than water breathing. Raymond sent me a 4' Indian swamp eel in a gallon of water. IIRC, it is safe to place lungs under oxygen but correct me if I am wrong.

??? you describing the eating is spot on!!!
I find it hilarious my wife finds its weird ??

Still he is an awesome specimen I’m just trying to go back to gettin baby monsters and mix in some from my grow out tank so the big monsters I’d like to rehome unless I get my 400 gallon sump up and going and he can live in there for a bit
The sump is more like a pond/sump for my 300 the added volume will be nice I feel
In the meantime he’s still for sale or trade for anything interesting or let arrowana
