I went into my lfs and saw what was labled as a red terror
for $25.00. On closer inspection of the fish, i noticed
that it's a myan. The fish is approx 7"-8".
Is that too much $$$ for a myan.
 
Fair. But only if you want it.
 
i'd say its a good price for a fish that size, they're pretty uncommon as far is i know
 
$25 is good for a healthy Mayan of that size. Though finding a Festae at the size and price would be a steal! Price really comes down to how badly you want a certain fish.
 
I see more festae than mayans (not counting mayans sold AS festae, I mean actually listed on vendors lists). Festae are a little over-hyped for my tastes (I mean, I get why people love them, just for me).
 
$25 is great for the Mayan. I just sold 2 females @ 7-8" ea, for $40 ea. Now a Festae at that size would probably run you $150 or so.
 
Cool fish, and I say good for the $.

Not sure why everyone dogs on the Mayan like it's something inferior to if it had been a true rt. Very cool fish any way you look at it IMHO.

No one is dogging them. The fact is that Festae are a more sought after and expensive fish compared to Mayans . IF he had stumbled across a Festae at that size and price, it would be a great deal.
