One of my favourites, I love the look of these guys.

How much $ he set you back? These are typically a very very pricy acquisition aren't they?

Borbs love cliffs and overhangs as areas to rest or seek shelter. They also tend to take time to adjust to our bright lighting as they are from deeper waters.

In terms of pricing; it generally depends on the "season". There is a "season" for these fish. Typically end of November to approx. end of March from my understanding. I'm uncertain whether it is the lack of food sources at their natural depths or spawning that brings them a little closer to the surface during this period (which makes them easier to catch).

I've said it before; I'll say it again....hobbyists are VERY fortunate to be in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We are spoiled with selection and pricing. PMs sent to LoJack and Wayner. I'm uncertain on the rules about posting prices.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. My buddy loves his early Christmas present. I'll be using my refugium to fatten the Borb up a bit and make sure it's eating before passing him onto his new home.

It is goofy looking. That's part of the attraction I think for people that like them.
