Fahaka Pricing?

Post by groovitudedude »

How much do you think a ~10.5'' Fahaka puffer would sell for if it's in excellent condition (eating, normal coloration, etc.)? Thanks.

There was one over here, about 8-inches long, going for £40, which is about $32 I would guess with the exchange rate as it is. If I had a tank big enough for him, I'd have had him!! Beautiful fish too!

It all depends on who's buying it. Are you selling your fella? I'd be more concerned that he got a proper home, than whether I made any $$$ on him.

Of course, the proper home is more important than the money. But I was just wondering on the pricing. Thanks, guys (and gals ;))

One of my LFS had one about that size for I think 325? Spongebob might know the price.
That store is known for being crazy expensive though. I'd say about 100 is right.

Yes around there. He was gone when I went to visit him a month or so ago.

Awww! Too bad! What do you have in mind?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I'm thinking about 200 neon tetras and one centerpiece fish (Black Ghost Knife or something like that). I want an oddball that I've never kept before that won't eat smaller fish and only gets to be about a foot max.
