@sushant

synodontis eupterus is not just any fish. it is an impressive species, with a top fin almost giving it a depth equal to its length. plus it swims upside down quite often, which catches peoples eyes. so dont expect to sell a 6 inch blue gourami (yes they exist, u need good food and a large tank to get this size) for 2 k! only difficult fish like synodontis sp.

Synodontis are scaleless (catfish are scaleless, as u might know) and it is difficult to avoid making mistakes vis-a-vis temperature/medication/water change-induced instability. This kills them more often than not. Same reason that most people cannot grow Black Ghost Knifefish to a large size. they are also scaleless.

Remaining stuff was pretty ordinary
If you saw the big lobster in alone in a tank (red claw lobster) that was mine.. I exchanged him and bought a small orange one (because he ate many of my fishes) :(

Hi guys, I have 2 healthy tiger sharks and 5 widow tetras for exchange.. I stay in south delhi..can exchange for plants/ shrimps/ small fishes (who can stay with guppies, snails and shrimps)

Regards

hi romi,

When I purchased the lobster, I was the first person to buy it (from that particular lot)..I purchased a baby lobster for Rs 250..He was charging Rs 275..But I am sure, he sold my grown lobster for more than Rs 350..

visited fish point at sarojini nagar yesterday, there were some big shrimps, available at Rs 375 - Rs 425 per piece.
There were some neon tetras available too for Rs 100 per pair and ghost fish (looked like knife fish), that was for 300 per pair if I remember it correctly..

Romi i was talking abt the same species. i have one with me which is exactly that size if not larger and shares the tank with blood parrots will soon be posting some pic of it. also i never had any problem with it so don't think that its that difficult to maintain them.
