Aro Worth?

[likestofish]

How much is a reasonable price of a 18" silver aro with everything perfect except a few missing scales and mild drop eye? I cant accomodat it anymore and thinking of what i should do.

Im not really sure with silvers, but i wouldn't pay for than $50 for it.

I think the importance here is finding the arowana a tank larger then your 55g. Your profiting from this fish should not be a concern. A $25 adoption fee on craigslist would be more then reasonable.

Good point, didnt catch the 55g part.

Agreed, $25. They're a dime a dozen.

And you didn't catch the 8" vs. the 18" part!

Hard to say! It's all down on how much people in your area wants to pay for it, and what you want to do with it (get your money back vs finding the aro a good home with proper care)

I almost missed it, but i didnt. I seriously wouldn't pay more than $50 for a silver even at 2 feet long or platinum.
