actually the same day i bought him i was at another LFS and they had a smaller one for 150.00 So i knew right away that i had either bought an expensive fish cheap, or narrowly avoided buying a cheap fish for a very high price.

Haha me too. My congo will be here on the 3rd of january, which is my birthday. He cost me 40.00 but i had to pay shipping so 80.00 altogether. thatpetplace.com is where i ordered from. I only have a 55 gallon tank because im in an apt in san diego and there is no room. But once i get out of the military and move back home to indiana im buying some acrylic and making probably a 750 gallon or bigger.

If you really wanted an arrow then you shold wait for one. You might not want the Congo either. Personally, I think the hairy puffer is the coolest & rarest of the 3.

The LFS has two now and each are 150.00. I really like the fact that the congo buries himself and also is not very active.

If fish is not shipped to my store I have to get it from the airport about 45 minutes away. And they are NEVER on time!

Yuck. roasting congo. maybe tt's why its so red.

IF the fish is ordered over the net. they would ship it here and the postman deliever it to the doorstep?? No laws? haha I damm paranoid, the law enforcer here's pretty tight.

oh, puff_love, hows your congo settling in?? hiding in the substrate already?
