that is cheap. Is that retail rate or private sales? What's the price of rtg going for in UK?
People don't import many greens anymore as its not worth the time it takes with paperwork and very low mark up

RTG about £300-350
HBRTG £350-450
Xback £550 up to about £1000
Reds £550 up to about £1200

Larger fish don't sell as well or as fast as smaller ones

Even cheaper if you import yourself which isn't hard to the UK and import permit is free and takes about 2 weeks

If you import yourself
You can get HBRTG for about £150 with shipping and customs fees but you need a min of 6 fish and one box

I can see prices droping even lower within the next year as soooooo many have been imported within the last 18 months

Prices do go up a bit around Chinese New Year time

I thought your user name was just Toby as the app only lets me see the just

Like I said chances are you will never see the paperwork but if you are happy with the fish the price and don't think you will ever sell it
Then it's a good deal but watch the aggression

thanks t1k, im happy and will give him a good home, tank is 7x34in front to back and 2ft high, he is in with large cichlids that can hold their own so should be fine, i was looking for a jar anyhow. its 12 inches and a yellow tail i think after some googling...

fins are a little torn, should heal up in a few days... he is getting on great in the tank with no aggression so that good.
