The Addiction Came Back

[generalbill]

I just ordered a "white" jardini.

I can't believe it.

Interestingly, I recently visited a fish store in Chinatown (my first time to a lfs in a looong time) and they had a few beautiful baby jardini aros for sale, I quickly walked out before I have the guy bag one up for me. It seem inevitable that I just had to buy a new fish, so the addiction lives on.

Was that chinatown in NY and if it is, what store and where exactly is it?

yup, NYC.

It's around broome and mott street, there are several fish stores, but only one carries the nice jardini aros (they label them as "golden arowana" but of course they're not really the golden asian arowana). It's in Little Italy, where all the resturants are.

Although not really considered a "platinum" jardini, it's pretty close. As far as I know, they're not very common. I was shocked at the price though, at $60, it's considered a steal (if the fish retains that color).

It'd be perfect only if he has some nice widebar tigers to go along with it.

Li, you know I'll probably have to give it up once it out-grows my tiny tank. Want to be a future nanny for this fish?

Bro, thats a good catch....indeed a nice specimen of jar........Do keep us posted of her growth.........

the prices for a jardini can range from $45 to $125 in NYC. I just went to a few stores yesterday and at one place they had a few 4" jardini aros for $45, in another place they had a few 4" for $80 and at another place, they had a few 6" for $125.

that'd be great Li, now I won't have to start another "fire sale".

The price range differ a lot!
