I honestly am not sure how much Fahakas normally go for. I've heard of people buying them for $10 but that just doesn't seem right. =/

I'd be more concerned about getting the proper housing for him than a good profit. What size tank is he in now?

my fahaka doesn't like my husband anywhere near his tank either, maybe it's a gender thing? Mac cost around £30 and he was 4 inches, so i bet yours would probably be worth 45-50? at a guess. It's a shame you have to get rid of him they're great puffers

At 9" You should get around £65ono on a private sale.

I'd sell one at that size at work for between £60 and £80 at least depending on general colourations and health and so on.
I'd take him if I could but I think Blinky would be far too jealous!!
I love my Blinky Bu!!!!
