    wow. thats a lot...from what i remember when I first started seeing them in canada they were around $600 for a 5-6" and this was around 8 years ago too. but most of the are illegal obtained, from what I read you need a CITES permit to own one which not many people have. lol.

    are you on any other forums? (monsterfishkeepers, arofanatics, etc...)
