Sounds about right. Are you ready to house that monster with a cycled tank?

$200 isn't a bad price, if its healthy.
The big expense is the 1000 gallon tank you'll need and the related equipment, not to mention pounds of food each week! LOL

Yeah, really--the cost of the fish is minimal to it's housing, feeding & water changes.

Well, what is really worth more? A Mbu that has already grown a fair bit, or a Mbu that you can watch and care for and allow to grow with you?
