What does a "bonded" pair mean? If it were me, that would not mean much unless they have spawned before.

what's your ideal price value on a proven breeding pair?
 
Until they breed and produce fry, it's just a male and a female. After they breed...a pair. If they breed again, I would consider them a bonded pair. I've had fish look like a pair for years and never bred. And fish that bred once and never again. Then I have pairs that breed like clockwork. Those are breeders.

Just my two cents. You shouldn't have much trouble selling them pair or not. Good luck.
 
A proven breeding pair would mean a proven breeding pair. A bonded pair means a pair; because they bonded and formed into a pair. A fighting male and female would be not a pair. They actually stand for what they say.

I'm not sure what you mean by "bonded and formed into a pair." For what? Potential breeding? They get along? Because they aren't fighting?
 
Here's my question.

What's a price value for a Gorillus pair @ 9"?

Real simple

It's not about giving you a hard time. They are discussing their opinions about what bonded means to them. You did ask how much for a bonded pair and everyone has different opinions of what bonded means which also dictates prices. I'm sorry but you haven't had that pair long enough to to say they're bonded. I'm almost willing to bet they just paired out within the last couple of weeks!!?? But that's nothing against your umbees being a pair. IMO it sounds like they are in the midst of pairing up and just like all others stated before I agree that to me a bonded pair is one that has been a pair for at least 2 spawns and are very easy going with each other. These gorillus umbees do not behave like any of the other blue umbees. From my expirience they seem to take longer to mature, pair out and spawn. Somewhere in the 7-10" range vs a rio mag will pair and spawn at 3.5-4" this possibly giving me an idea of where the gorillus are maturity wise. So your pair is too young of a pair to consider them bonded. But they are pairing and that does constitute a lil more value than just venting a male and female and selling as a sexed pair. But they don't constitute enough value as a breeding pair or bonded pair would. So I would say that a sexed pair of your size would start at 200$
