Exiledonmainstreet Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi. They sell for $200. U.S. over here, so I can only imagine what they'd be over there:( Good luck in finding one, and I hope it works out for you:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th0mas Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 This species most likely existing in Oz, but most likely to cost ~ $1K AUD due to it's non-importable status.Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[-fireStorm-] Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hmm...actually Link there are 4 Gold nugget "types". Sort of...:Baryancistrus sp. L018 Found around Altamira on the Rio xingu.Baryancistrus sp. L081 Lower Rio xingu.L085 A mistake was made with this one, the fish identified as L085 was actually an adult L018 :rolleyes: Baryancistrus sp. L177 From the Rio iriri, a tributary of the Rio xingu. These are the ones with the really strong yellow spots, and large, bright yellow fin seams. This one is the best looking of the 3.The difference between all of them is about 80-100 miles from one type locality to the next. All are found either in the Rio xingu or its tributaries. If your REALLY lucky, these can sometimes be found for $500-$600. If you know the right people -Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
