how much should i pay for a true green phantom 5 inchs?
- Thread starter tparker1069

the color on it seems to actually be very blue which i have a notion to make it a true green phantom, less olive looking
$75 seems a little steep to me, but I've been out of the loop for a few years.
I used to sell them that size for about $45-$50 three or four years ago.

I don't know about the above comment. I thought that there was a Blue Phamtom Pleco that was separate from the Green Phantom.

As far as Green Phantom pricing, I've seen them for $40, but that was a year or 2 ago.
Greens that size go for $40-45 here, and the blue phantoms are just from a different collection point I believe.
I suppose if the fish is very healthy and hard to get in your area, it may be worth it; but $75 is a bit steep IMO.

$45-50 may be fair in a LFS, closer to $35-40 from an internet retailer. $75 is pretty steep, and I'd say if it's not a big box LFS, you have a good chance of talking them down.
