It's ridiculous that some people on here asking high prices for something they can cheaper. You don't try to sell a fish on here for $50 when anyone can to a local fish store and get the exact same fish for only $4 you are not rehoming a fish you are trying to sell it for more than it's worth. Another case in point for the person selling their fish tank for $289 people can get the exact same tank brand new for $299, so how are going to charge the same price of a new tank for your used tank? Doesn't matter f you used it or not, fact is it's not "brand new" because it's been sitting at your house.
I bought the exacvt same tank you are selling for $289 and I only paid $125 for it, so get real. To the people trying to get the same amount you paid for a fish tank isn't going to happen, doesn't matter if it's a salt or fresh water tank, fact is it's a used tank PERIOD.
The only way you'll get over $50 for a fish is if the fish is worth the price, such as Flowerhorns, proven breeder fish over 6", or hard to find fish. Case in point, a guy is trying to get $50 for two juvenile cichlids that only cost $3 at a local store, and they aren't even the correct fish you are trying to sell. You said in your post "Dovii wolf cichlids" when in FACT they are juvenile Jaguar Cichlids. And wanting $50 is hard to believe even if they are wild caught (which i doubt they are) they are only 4" in size and people can purchase them at any fish store for $3 and they look the exact same.
I'm sick of seeing people try to get a HUGE amount for something that normally is found at any fish store for only a couple dollars, you aren't kidding anyone here.
