$85-$125 $85 for a traditional wall mount of the skeleton kinda like a traditional taxidermy mount except skeleton. Or $100 for it mounted on a plain stained based with common name and scientific name burned into the wood and fish positioned anyway you'd like, or $125 for fish in any position you'd like on a piece of driftwood chasing smaller fish. PM me if interested.L Aquatics;1689027; said:

That is amazing job.First I felt like I'm gonna kill my 14" gar.But that thought only last for 5 minutes since I love my gar.But if something bad to my gar(hopefully not soon enough)I'll definately send it to you so you can make it like that.
$35 for skull without plaque, and $45 with. Skeleton $90-$125 same as stated above. I'll send you a more detailed pm tomorrow. I've done a few the first pic on the first page is a channel skull. Sold that one on ebay for $55 little bit larger than your'sKobeclone;1689553; said:

No my method was designed and tested by myself over the last 10 years as beatles were not an option. I clean the skeleton completely by hand down to the bone and remove as much tissue as possible. Sometime tendons are left over, but they come off easier after the degreasing process. Whitening hides the rest. I'd say about %50 of the skeleton is never actually taken apart. I take skulls 100% apart most of the time depending on delicacy. Fish skulls generally have between 50-200 bones in just the skull. The skeleton can have over 500 bones in it.unkthepunk;1689820; said:
I hope that non of your fish die, but I can come up with a list of what extras I have availible for sale and some that are waiting to be cleaned. I have about 60 species of fish cleaned right now, with about another 100 species either preserved in alcohol or frozen waiting. I also have about 140 species of other types of animals, and about another 100 species preserved or frozen.IITUFFTOBEATII;1690052; said:

Don't kill the gar lol. What kind is it?. I've done both longnose gar and columbian gar skulls before. Want to do a whole skeleton and preserve the scales on half of it to show a half comparison. I've done a whole skeleton of a plecostomus like that before. It's hard and very painstaking, and I didn't make much money off of it considering it was one of the nicest, most grueling mounts I have ever done. I actually lost money on it. It was a 20" pleco and I sold it on ebay, went for less than $50. Considering I raised the fish, cleaned and mounted it meticulously I went in the hole on that one. The skull hobby is kinda like the fish hobby. Most people put in way more money than they will ever see back out of it. The prices I am offering everyone is dirt cheap compared to other places.
Thanks
