There's a guy on CL in Lexington KY that has 4-6" BW's. They are rediculously over priced at $200 each. He thinks he has something special that noone else has, so his "price is firm".
If you're desperate you could try him...

Hi thanks I think I saw that,  that's crazy, someone else had a pair for $500.  That's a bit too much for me for a hybrid type fish.  The 6 stripes are so pretty so it's hard for me to justify spending a fortune on these guys.  I just think they are something different and wanted to try.

Thanks

You bet mate, no problem. Not so much a hybrid, as a line bred mutation. Once prob a cull, but now a thing, lol.
Xufan has some nice Zaires you could grow out for a decent price. He advertised them recently and you prob saw them, but Zaires are beautiful...you can't go wrong there...local as well!
Cheers mate!
