G'day all, Erskine Pets in Mandurah only had 1 last time I was there.(recently) I'd say it is about 14 inches+. Do not know if it is for sale but is a beauty.Its in a tank by itself, not surprised it would eat my barra.

LOL Silver arrows for $120, put me down for x20 thanks. Agree with Steve at that price they must be Saratogas. Would be surprised to see silver arrows in a LFS for under $400.

dont you have a phone dragonfish or you just like driving ?

well the rest of you better get the phone book out and ring up cause you never know when a fool will move over east and sell a expencive fish cheap cause hes moving and cant be botherd trying to sell it and stuff around with people on forums or time wasters or people rining up from the paper, and some people who run lfs will sell fish cheap if they are given or brought of customers.if you knew the place or guy you would know what im talking bout and youll get it i would of brought the ugly thing myself if i had the room but i didnt wanna part with my other ugly fish.

Last time i was there they were togas both at around 25 - 30cm, i just find it hard to belive that someone would A get rid of Silvers for under $150 and B a retailer selling them for $120, which would mean that he had to buy em for about $60 and like all the other boys said, chalk me down for 20.
togas you can pick up for $45 if you know where to look, so no guff intended but i did see togas there for for $150
