Can any one tell me how much is this Tanganykan Tilapia (Oreochromis tanganicae)worth? He is large close to 15 inches.

Beautiful but territorial. Killed two of my large 12inch Orino cusiana. Please let me know.

I used to have 2 of these back in England and they cost me around 20 pounds a fish. which is 30 dollars. and this was for 2" babies.
not sure how much they are worth in America but I´ve never seen them since. your fish is Beautiful!
 
62 dollars sounds about right. I suppose you could try it at 70 or 80 and if theres no interest lower it ? if you had a pair you could ask for way more, I sold a breeding pair of occelaris clown fish for over 200 dollars
 
I appreciate everyones time and effort. I was told this fish was rear and not common in the pet trade, also that it was valuable. Just wanted an idea of how much. Please keep me informed if you have any info. Ill be posting more pictures of him. Thank guys
 
Probally worth what people will pay for a fish like that. Promblem with large fish is the price of shipping. I would say 50 - 100 bucks if you can get it. LFS usually give a third of that. Nice looking fish nonethe less.
 
Lfs had them once years ago at that size for $100 or so. cant remember.
 
nice fish never seen 1 here
