What do you mean by "offered"? Yes, that does look like a Pustulatus.

Well more like a friend suggested it for me.
Not sure what he wants in the way of cash, wants more of a trade for either nice datnoids or marbled motoro rays which are not cheap.
What do one of these sell for usually?

Re: Are they really that rare?
If you don't mind that the spots will likely develop into fahaka-like lines...

Re: Are they really that rare?
Oh really? They lose the spots eh. So really when full grown both species look very similar?

Re: Are they really that rare?
Yes, there was an older thread either on waterwolves or mfk, where spotted "pustulatus" developed into "lineatus" quite nicely and thus were sold. Let me search...

Re: Are they really that rare?
Any idea as to what the price is in comparision to the Fahaka? IMO if they are that rare and expensive why not get a Fahaka and leave the rare one in the river.
