  • The rare fish that you want?

    Like the title says, what rare African fish would you buy if you were able to find some for sale right now?

    Mine is the gnathochromis permaxillaris. Cool looking fish, but its hard to come by and expensive when I do see them. I got 2 when I was newer to the hobby and they perished due to my inexperience. Since then I've only seen them one other time in person and they were 3x as expensive.

    Blue Eye Pleco. Costs a couple grand. The illegal stuff is always awesome and pretty rare. Rays to be more specific.

    Edit: lol they're both SA. Electric Eel!

      Probably would be more fun to put this in a different section but oh we'll.

      There was a guy on monster fish keepers with a huge blue eyed pleco. Think it was like 14+" in something like a 2000g tank

        Electric eel, Steven? I'd have to come by with a defibrillator every time you did a water change.

            Yeah. Blue eye plecos are floating around out there. It's just that people tend not to want to drop a couple grand on a pleco. My two L095 get up to 14"+, but nowhere compares to those blue eyed monsters.

                    Lungfish feel gross. They actually have the same texture and feel as actual human lungs!!
