title says it all..

As much as each individual is willing to pay

Unless someone local specifically wants her, probably not much. This one has been for sale for a long time, at higher prices: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=397598

Im only asking because I was offered this ray for 300 usd, its 20 cm and in very good condition. I think its a lot brighter than the ones I useually see..

The reason its lighter is probably because of the light colored sand bed. Flowers change there colors over time based on what they are on, i have seen one turn to a dark grey with yellow flowers when I put him on black gravel. This one wasn't quite as light as that one to begin with though.

As far as the price it isn't bad in the US market, I have no idea what ray prices are like in Denmark.

Thanks John, we dont see alot of flowers around here and when we do they are pretty expensive. This guy is asking the the same price as LFS import pices, so its pretty good when you consider the guy bought it 5 months ago. I can order them from my friends LFS, but I rather buy one that has been here 5 months and is eating well. We have crazy taxes on everything so its expensive to buy nice rays, we hardly ever see anything besides retic and motoro.
I was just wondering how much it would cost in the US.

I just Paid $200 for 1 on Sunday. Well worth it in my opinion.

so u ended up buying that guys ray? why did it take him so long to sell it? i heard it was real skinny and should have been alot bigger for how long he had it. i feel that flowers in the U.S.A are more rare than blacks.

You are right he was relatively skinny but He is the right size for his age.
Beautiful fish with a very good appetite. He ate about 4 raw shrimp right after he got settled in my tank the day i put him in. He will be as fat as my motoro in no time and i just ordered an additional Canister filter (Fluval 405) off amazon to set up by the weekend to take on the additional bio-load.
