went in to my lfs to see if they had my bichir and didnt.. so i started looking around and saw 4-5'' red severum all beat up and fins torn... i really wanted to bring him home but 30$ for a beat up fish didnt seem right just thought i share this story .
 
That so sad.:( They should lower the price!

i noe he was in a tank with a big bp and kept getting headbutted by it. I would buy if it were at leas 20 or less bc the juveniles in another lfs are like 12 bucks

I'd pay that much for a Red Sev locally, nursing a fish back to health isn't too difficult.

i noe its not difficult just kinda pricey here

Quality is really hard to find, but in general in my area they're just plain ole hard to find. I would expect to pay around $20-$25 online plus overnight shipping so $30 isn't too bad.

If you want him you could talk with the manager of the store and say that the fish is damaged, stressed, etc. and they might lower the price a few bucks.
