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.

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.

btw the 2.5g setup at magic isle in the front of the store(next to the 24) Karen said it was $150 for the crushed coral, lr,light, filter and a clown. If I was to get it all with everything(the corals) How much do you think it would cost?
