BLACK GARS?

[channarox]

In my opinion $29.95 as that is what most Platyrhincus go for.. But then I'm never really looking for ornamental fish or odd variations. To me really it is just another Florida that might just have a bit darker pattern.. Is it a bit different? Sure it is...

Market will determine the price really.. If someone is really looking for a darker patterned fish then I'm sure someone will pay for it. If I was really in the market for one I would not mind spending up to $200 for a Black Longnosed and maybe $150 for a Platyrhincus of this type.. Depends on how much I would really want it and what for.. This fish could fetch more from someone that is into collectiong things of this sort..

agreed...

3 figures is a pretty wide range B. Care to narrow it down?



Agreed, hence the discussion on what people would be willing to pay....

Wow! $29.95 and know one has ever seen one for sale? I was thinking at least 300-500 bills if it stays blk. Expecially when none have been reported for sale. I will do the slime test later today and try to get pics of the slimes color on a Q-tip. If know wants to pay what I want for the fish I will simply keep it for my personal tank. And have something know one else really has. I know its not gold but it is just as rare a golden!

Well like I said Snook this fish could fetch more from someone that would be very interested in it.. This is my personal opinion..

I'm personally quite happy with the two I obtained from you and that fills out my Platyrhincus needs...

Im glad your happy with them. will you be interested in the longnose, shortnose, or alligators? We should have them anyweek, and enough to go around for everyone. Let me know

Price will vary.
If it turns out only having 1 eye the value will be considerably lower.
Diet and policies if the fish turns back to normal etc. will also affect the price.
Mid 3 digits..imo We'll see how the auction plays out

If the fish turns back to normal I wont even sell it because of the bad eye. We dont like selling fish like that, but if it is a blk gar, thats different. I will start the bid at $150.00 with no reserve and let you guys bid on it. I will keep my eye out for odd patterned and nicer looking gars for you guys here on mfk! Thanks for all intrests!

A fish may be black in your tank, than return to normal in anothers. You never know...
So it definitely has 1 bad eye??
