Am i making the right choice???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You paid $10 for what looks to be a $10 fish, yet you are asking $50 for it on CL :screwy:

You have an offer of $15 plus another fish and you don't know if you should take it :duh:
 
o i was wating for you bderick to chime in. I didnt say i wasnt taking the deal becausei already told the kid i would but when i go to his house tomar i was gonna see if he would make a different trade because he has a black nasty and a freddy and i wanted one of then especially the freddy
 
well i had a jack dempsey and a convict in there 2 and the festae made wuick work of them and i sold the jack and put the convict in my fiances 46 gallon
 
Man... sure wish you were able to ship. I am surprised there are no takers myself... festae at that size just are not that easy to come by, much less females.

Of course, I now have a ton of new cichlids coming my way over the next week, and will soon be a bit overstocked! LOL... good luck on this thing, man.

Well the kid im trading with thinks he has 2 male festaes but they are mayans i just didnt tell him. Minus the people in my area on this website most dont know crap about fish so its not too much of a shock i have no takers on the fish
 
IMO you are getting the short end of the stick on this trade. Around here you can find jags on every corner and females are usually the undesirables from people growing out to get a good male. Female Festae is worth much more than a small female Jag. I gave my 4inch jag away for free...lol

If jags are what you want, than the value of them in general doesnt matter. It matters what they are valued to you. I would pay 15 for a female jag without giving away a rare fish. So it sounds like he is taking the Festae off your hands and then selling you the jag...lol

That 75 is a good size for the female on her own until you get the 150. i would go either 125-180 tho dont see a point in the taller tanks other than more weight on the glass. She is protecting her 75g and basically telling you that she requires that space for herself. My JD was the MOST AGRESIVE FISH IN THE WORLD in a 55... HE NEEDED IT ALL! Put him in a 90 and he was a church mouse.
 
i was thinking that. I have a 3 inch male jag right now. I want his freddy bad. He has a large female midas thats all white with a red nose spot but i dont want to throw a large fish in the 75 i want smaller fish. I know what the festaes are worth but i love my pike more and dont want it to get killed.
