How much should I charge?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
$100 minimum. You should be able to find a buyer. Festae take a long time to grow and everyone knows it will take a long time to get one to that size.
 
I'd say around $50. Maybe a bit more.

It all depends on the effort you want to put into selling her. When I try to move fish I charge a bit less that I could probably get, but it saves me the hassle of spamming forums for weeks to find someone willing to shell out top dollar.

Is this the one you picked up for ~$40 a month or two ago?
 
I think you should keep it in a spare 55.

I see them at my LFS for about 80 bucks but they never look that good IF they ever have them in.

Yes, the guy didn't know if it was real or a false red terror. I didn't know because her colors were dull at the shop and I had never owned a RT before. I posted her pics on her and got confirmation that $40 was a great deal for one. I am not going to just let her go cheap. If no one wants to pay $80-100 for her then I will gladly hang on to her. $50 is way too little for her. A false Red Terror at this size goes for $30-50, let alone the real deal at 11 inches.
 
I'd pay about 120 ish. Of course, I could never give away that fish. So I'd see how it goes with the oscars. If all else fails, whip out your divider and buy a speciem tank for her.
