hey my lfs. just got two O's in and he is selling them for $60 each but there only 7 inchs long ones a tiger O & a red and i was woundering how over priced are they? id say hella mine at 3' costed me $12:)

on the up side my Oluv's other ones but there just to pricey i think
getback to me i'll be around!:nilly:
 
If they were perfect $30
people are always trying to give away oscars that outgrew thier tank.
 
Yea, $30 max for sure if they're a really good looking fish, i went into this fs the other day and he had like 25 or so 10 inch + oscars for sale, he practically couldn't give em away, so many people buy them and get rid of them coz they outgrow their tanks. i actually feel pretty bad for em coz he had 2 - 3 each in 2 x 1 x 1 tanks... pathetic.

holy thats mean the fish i was lookin at where in a 45g ones rlly nice i'll get some pics tomorrow and ask the guy why so much!! lol i think he's just a cheap old bag thats right bag... lol umm i got one oscar & a pair of fms & two plecos & my peacock cichlid.. that two much?!? im getting ride of the plecos some time there growing to big to fast ones like 11" at least the other is 7ish" but wanna get another O cause i think there so funny
=)
 
I'm looking at giving my two O's away, one's 12" the other is 8-9", the LFS will not give me a dime even in store credit but they turn around and sell them for $30-40.

They just lowered the price of their 3" silver arowana's to $29 each and they have one 8" silver that they call (Extra Large) and they are asking $185 :O
 
When I bought my juvenile oscars (your run of the mill tiger o's) they were $8.99 a piece.

I recently acquired a 10" O. that looked like it was getting the crap kicked out of it by the other fish in the tank, it looked miserable and just had that "get me outta here" look...that guy was $21.99, which seems ridiculous, if I hadn't bought the thing it surely would have been killed by the other fish in the tank...therefore they would have made NOTHING.
 
If you buy an Oscar, it's because you want a pet for the next 5-15 years.

I would happily pay a HIGH price for "the right one" (Oscar) This is why they continue to SELL at those kinds of prices.

There's an oscar for everybody :)

LFS will often over price larger fish such as this...hoping for impulse buyers.
