How much would six 4-5" clown loaches cost? Because I just got an offer of $170 from some guy in North Carolina to ship them to him. Gonna past on that offer and just sell them for $100 to a local. Are 4-5" clown loaches really that valuable? Funny since I bought these guys when they were 1" for $1 each. Anyways just surprise how much I got for them.
 
It would depend on how healthy they were, if any had oddball patterns and if they were closer to 4" or 5"... If all 6 were 5"+ and all were Oddballs that looked healthy they would be worth a little more for example... Clowns grow pretty slow compared to most fish so the bigger they are the more they are worth - one of few fish that is like this. Dats and Stingrays also sell more as adults usually. However other fish lose value with age - see most common fish like Oscars, Big Common Catfish (Not Tigs), and so on...

I'd say the $100 was fair either way.

All guys are minimum 4", the fattest one is a saddleback. $100-$120 seems fair. Sad to see these guys go had them at 1" when they were skinny and full of ich. Now they are all fat and happy.
 
how old are these guys?? i picked up 2 from my LFS one is 4" and one is 5" im woundering how old these guys are??? Be nice to know how long it would take me to grow more to this size??? GL on the sale!
