Umbi's are around often but none of the others are. I was told we should see some argentea soon from the ones that popped in the country a few months back.

nick069 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 yeah monos wont be worth all that much, people are breeding them by the thousands. Get them for as cheap as $10 in QLD, or $7 for quantities. Awesome fish never the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
