Fixable???

I don't know anything about how rare it is but if it really is super rare and what he says it is then I would offer like $250 max I would start lower. For $500 you could get a big ass tank fully set up haha and honestly if it's your dream fish I would find some guarantee that it is what they say and pay the healthy price instead of gambling

I wouldn`t buy it out of principle, if the lfs owner cant get it back to reasonable health and doesn't want to give it to someone who can, then he has no interest in the fishes welfare and I personally wouldn't give 500 dollars of my hard earned money just so he can line his pockets on the sale of a poorly fish !

After a bit of thinking, I decided not to get it! Because I don't want to take the 50/50 risk.

i wouldnt personally spend that much on a sick fish... if you are well off, have a hospital tank, a good understanding of whats wrong with it and how you are going to continue treatment, AND dont mind losing the money if it goes tits up then go for it mate... they are extinct in the wild arnt they?? might be they only chance you get to own one if the healthy ones are out of your price range?

A healthy one cost around $2000 to $3000. I can afford one, but it's not something that I would like to spend it on at the moment.

I would offer the store 250 and say... look you paid nothing for it, it can die in your tank or make acouple hundred and let me take the risk

I am scared, that's why I ask for advice first.

Datnoid's head bump is usually 50/50 chance of recovery.

The fish is super rare, and they are willing to go lower a bit but not for 250

$50 and i will chance it but moving it to different tank will probably kill it

Hard to argue with this post,that poor fish is in deplorable condition and Arowana is probably right.

Agreed, looks to be in really bad shape.

I change my mind on my take on this one.

I would euthanize the fish. Its just suffering so badly now

nah try saving it, negotiate the price

I would offer a couple hundred for it as long as it's eating a little bit. If it's true ST. It's amazing what a little tlc can do to a fish. It most likely won't heal to 100% but it deserves a chance. Biggest task would be to move to a new tank.
