Is this a good good?

Hi I am planning to get a 55 gal tank with a 10 inch gold diamond rhom for around 300 to 400 bucks. is that a good deal? The rhom is in great condition is so is the tank with everything in it. i know that large rhoms are worth something like 500 bucks but will tant rhom grow to at least 16 inches in a 55 gal tank??? i can't upgrade within 4 years of my life! BUMMER. should i get the the piranha and tank??? Opinions needed ASAP. This deal is in high demands!

Is it a good deal? The best bet would be to compare it against what the vendors are charging for a Rhom with same specs. (size, shape etc.)... If one from a vendor goes for cheaper than the asking price, I'd go with a vendor... main reason is because a 55G standard dimension is only 12" wide... for a 10" fish (which can grow 16"+), it's not an ideal home. So you're really paying just for the fish (and possibly filter if that's a good one, like a canister). Just my 2 c.

if 55g is all you can provide to that rhom don't get it. you should at least house it in a 75g tank since its 18" wide vs the 55g's 12" wide.

that isnt worth it if it is only gonna be in a 55G..(life?) but a golden rhom $300-$400 is a lot for my budget..but if you really want it try 75G..

how long can the 10 incher stay in the 55 gal. don't rhoms take a long time to grow an inch (a year?)

tell him 150 for the fish and get a 75 gallon tank off of craigslist for 150 or 175. If someone actually wants to sell their tank they'll go down on price for you. be sincere but firm. thats what i do ha
