So i posted in a few other threads about the fish i just got and that the guy is looking to trade some fish as am I. We have the following fish.

I have the following
-10 inch mala wolf
-12 clown knife
-4 inch red tailed chalceus
-3 inch blue acara

He has the following
-1 large black belt cichlid
-2 Green terrors

How would you work this trade so that its fair?
 
Well, his fish are pretty common. Are they from anywhere special like rapps?

Obviously your stock is worth more, depending on my question it's a matter of how much more... What did you pay for your fish?
 
Hard to say - theres no real comparison in species. My 16" Mala's for sale for $100, he's weened, the size of a human forearm and will never allow another fish to cohab.
My BGK is about 8-9" for $10, he's beautiful but boring, hides until fed then he's gone again. My Chalceus pair are a robust 8" but $5 each cause I ain't doing anyone any favors. They are overly skittish and cause they're tankmates unnessassry flights into the glass. Don't get me wrong - I love these fish but they will never be as outgoing or entertaining as Cichlids are. Guess what I'm trying to say is each of you need to figure out the direction you wish to go and what you feel most comfortable housing.
How much you paid for the fish isn't as important as what you enjoy and can care for.
 
I paid $30 for the mala when it was about 5 inches, and $15 for the ck when it was 6 inches. The red tail i paid $10 and the blue acara was free. I want a more viewable tank instead of a tank where you only see the fish is during feeding time
 
Depends on what you want to keep, and how much you like his fish, right? You want us to tell you one or the other, or both?
 
Trade the Wold for all of his fish lol.
 
that was the plan but i dont think he wants to do that. im willing to do all my fish for his electric cat
