  • ENORMOUS Fish For Sale - Peacock Bass, Polypterus, and Cat

    As much as it pains me to do so, I have to sell all my fish so that I can devote all of my time to a big moment in my professional career. I have taken great care and babied these fish since they were 1-2", and it is very hard to find these fish in Houston. So, yes, I hate this, but what can you do. I refuse to neglect them. I have tried to take quality pictures over the last 30 minutes to demonstrate how great these fish are.  I know there aren't a ton of Monster Fish Keepers on here, but I figured I would try.  You must be able to house these fish, meaning anything below 210 gallon+ need not apply.   :)

    13-14" Temensis Peacock Bass - $150 OBO
    8-10" Wild Monoculus Peacock Bass - $125 OBO
    12-13" Male Monoculus Peacock Bass - $100 OBO
    11" Polypterus Endlicheri - $100 OBO
    18" Niger Catfish - $150 OBO

    All fish have been kept in a 210 gallon fish tank for last 7 plus months with premium filtration (Fluval FX5 and two Eheim 2217's) with religious water changes. All fish eat market shrimp; the large mono bass and the catfish eat pellets. The large mono bass has also proven to be a breeder, breeding very early at just 8"...seriously.

    Should you be interested in purchasing these fish, feel free to pm me. I will reply to all pm's within 24 hours, but usually only have time to get online once a day, so please be patient. If you have any questions, ask away. No shipping; pricing based on what I paid, Houston area, and a love for the fish.

    13-14" Temensis Peacock Bass - $150 OBO
    Eats market shrimp like they are going extinct. Raised from 1". King of the tank, but friendly towards others. Gill looks weird in pic because he was chomping down some shrimp...of course. No problems at all, very healthy.


    8-10" Wild Monoculus Peacock Bass - $125 OBO
    Eats market shrimp. Raised from 2". Insane red coloring around gills, and awesome spangling across body. Confirmed wild from purchaser. Black bars much darker in person, weird pattern at picture time.


    12-13" Male Monoculus Peacock Bass - $100 OBO
    Eats market shrimp, pellets. Raised from 1-2". Active breeder.


    11" Polypterus Endlicheri - $75 OBO
    Eats market shrimp. Raised from 9". Extremely active for polypterus. Swims all day long; very healthy.


    18" Oxydoras Niger Catfish - $150 OBO
    Eats market shrimp and pellets. Raised from 2". Prefers a hiding place, but is very active when feeding and as you can see will come out for you. Very healthy.

      Gorgeous Temensis--absolutely impossible to find at that size.  Would have loved them two months ago--went to the dark side--tropheus.

      These are great fish.

        for shame Alex, i know ur kidding but bad form. i know people who have done similar to be "kind" to their fish, except they release a paiir of Manenguese (i think they were 2 females i hope) into a farm tank, but floods and such could have spread them if they had bred. its getting bad in florida and other places with things like Oscars and then SnakeHeads. But i do know you were kidding so its ok. On the other hhand these Fish are gorgeous and i wish i had room.

                    true. if you hadn't run so many chemicals through that tank, i'd suggest you throw them on the grill! they are indeed beautiful fish; have you tried monsterfishkeepers.com?

                    i think people have caught red-tailed catfish out of lake conroe before...

                        Wow all these comments and no takers.  So disappointed when I saw 10 comments lol.  

                        Anyway, not that I would ever do this, but the bass can't live through the cold here.  When the state tried to release controlled bass species into Texas they all died.  Its just too cold here, though there is another project going on in deep south Texas right now that might work, but even we are too far north.

                        I bought my rocks from Home Depot.  They need to be cleaned very thoroughly though.  Be careful because sometimes chemicals can leak on them from shelves above.  Clean very well!

                        I also have this sale on MonsterFishKeepers.com, but I was just trying to get more exposure.  It seems there are less MFKers here in Houston than any other major city across the country, so I was just trying to get the word out as much as I could.  Thanks for looking everyone.
