DOES ANYBODY HAVE A CLUE ON WHAT THIS FISH IS WORTH? ITS REALLY COOL AND I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM UP FOR SALE AT THIS SIZE. THANKS

If you want to drive to the middle of Kansas, I'll throw you a couple of bucks....

But seriously, Its gonna be worth a lot less in FL than it would be here. There isn't a pet store in a 120 mile radius that has Jaguars, let alone a nice 14"er like yours. If I saw that fish at the LFS I would pay $80.00 for it.

The FL folk would have a better idea of the price range that you could expect in your area. I am guessing 5o.00

being that you can catch feral jaguars that size and bigger in florida now do to introduction to the wildlife. than i wouldn't bother paying very much.

catch your own. if you can't than 50-75 sounds fair.

found it.

i highly dissagree with your 55 gal + statment- that fish needs a 5-6'x18" minimum...

They aren't "Wild Caughts" either, as they're ultimately derived from hobby kept species. Catching a Jaguar in Florida is not equal to catching a Jaguar in Mexico/Costa Rica.

Since you're in Florida, jags aren't very sought out for since you can just catch them yourselves. They are basically descendants of captive bred fish, so they aren't considered wild. But I think $30.00 in your aqubid auction is fair enough.
