A friend of mine sold his for this price, am i asking too much?

It depends. If you don't mind waiting for the right buyer, your price isn't bad. If you want to move them quickly, drop the price by 50 bucks and watch them go out the door.

Active fish......$150 is a little too much for those fish, especially with drop-eye........$60 each........

$150 is "a little too much" so drop it to $60...lol? This is Las Vegas and not California. Things are expensive here because its not a great town for this hobby and fish are not easy to get so people will pay the money when they want something. There is no reason these aros cant sell for anywhere between $100-$150.

On rare occasion I have seen a big aro or two in our LFS here anywhere between $200-$300 and couple days later they are sold. So they are people on here with interest and willing to pay the money, its just a matter of finding them.

Silver aros here sell for $70 at 6"-8" and people will buy them like hotcakes when they are available. Drop eye or not, these fish are monsters and been taken care of. $100-$150 is a reasonable price and it will sell i gurantee it.
