help with value?

[Acura_RSX]

sorry didnt know...

yeah alright. i wasn't getting mad at you or anything. I just wish there was a way you could have someone not be able to post in your threads. Everyone has said similar things in alot of my threads but have been nice about it or at some point have been nice and tried to help. he just seems to wait for a good time to make a harsh sarcastic comment in every thread

not all LFS works the same, some get better prices than others...there is no set price for fish...basically it's what the market will pay...

so you know they are going to try and get them for the lowest price possible...all you can do, no matter what anybodys estimate is,
or what you may want to hear,is,
you take the fish to your LFS and see if you can trade them for what you want...when he gives you an offer you'll either take it or leave it as simple as that...

they might be worth 1 fish you might want then again you might have something he needs and can sell for alot of money...either way you said you weren't really into them, so anything would be something, right?

exactly. thats my plan anyways. I'm just looking for an estimate on what he'd be able to sell them for so i could negociate for fish I want or at least know how much he is trying to rip me off by.

I remember now off hand the biggest cichlid was i THINKK, was a bumble chichlid? or something like that, if it exists. I emailed him today so hopefully pictures will be on the way tonight or tomorrow.

After looknig at pictures of this fish I'm not sure, this is the name he said but I am pretty sure the biggest fish was red.. however there was a yellow cichlid in there so i could have misunderstood.

bumble bee cichlid- african (yellow w/black checkerboard)

depending on the size the mixed africans here go from $3-$5.

You do not want to mix africans with oscars (if thats whats going in the tank)

oh no .. the cichlids will not be in the same tank if I do keep any .. and he is a minimum of 4 inch's ... as big as 7. not sure. they are all like 3 years old and pretty big.

 

[Acura_RSX]

OKAYYY he can't get me pictures before wednsday but this is the info he has given me

they are all between 4 and 7.5 inch's and this is the line up

There are several pink convicts, black convicts and marbled convicts. One bumble cichlid, one aratus and one catfish

there is some info for you guys .. see if that can help

Convicts are trash. Bumblebee may run you $3-5 in a petsmart. Auratus about the same. "Catfish" is just as vague. Sizes are probably overestimated, I'll put money on it.

The size is my judgement .. He never told me them, I've seen the fish already and they are all between 3-7.5

Acura,
the question is are you happy with the trade?...if you are, go for it...
You already know, he's not going to give you any prize winning specimens of super rare fish...remember you can always trade other people if they got something you want... it's a good trade cause you don't want the fish you have...
