Ornate Bichir Price Check

[bigphil001]

I actually live about and hour west of Chicago in Lake in the Hills. I'm traveling for work in Minneapolis this week and was bored so I checked out a bunch of the fish stores. The store that had these had them for about 2 months and none of their customers had a tank large enough for them. This is the store: http://www.worldoffish.com/ they have a huge selection of fresh water fish. I'm driving back to Minneapolis again next week and I'm bringing them back with me. I hope they will be ok on the 5 hour drive home. They were originality in a 75 gallon tank, they are going to love being in my 400 gallon.

you guys are definitely overpaying for your ornates compared to the prices I see. i've 10-12 inch WC ornates for 40 bucks each in the LPS. There was a bunch.
There are large ornates regularly sold at kijiji for 40-80 dollars. Guess it depends on location.

Not sure where you are seeing these prices. But any poly's i see are 40 bucks for about 4 inchers, this includes palmas palmas, ornate, dehelzi lapradei and teugelsi. Never seen any better prices. Was at big als scarboro and they wanted 56.00 for dehelzi around 5 inches.

I have been looking for some large ornates to go in my new 400 gallon tank with my silver aro's.

The LFS has two that are about 12-14 inches longs. They are asking $120 apiece! I really like them but i think it is ridiculous to pay $240 for the two of them.

What is the typical price for some ornates around that size?

One of the ornates in question:

ARE THEY STILL AVAILABLE?

sold mine for 20 euros... Was a big monster and no-one had a good tank.(where i live atleast) So after a year for sale it just went down to 20euros... Sad for me but the fish has a big enough home.
