Welcome to PCS bro. A specimen of that size I believe will set you back between 500 to 600 bucks. Hope to see a post of the fish if you get one. Cheers.:)

Thx for the info, i just got 5 pieces at 800 each:p i believe its still worth the value for the majestic size as a new hobby collector.

Yes that the biggest I ever seen...

The biggest L155 I ever seen is from NKS...
The one amiidae took picture off.. I think it 20"..

Wonder how big can a L155 reach... I though was 80cm
