well, we would need to know size and age.

It's male. It looks to be about 6-7" in the picture, so I think a fair price would be anywhere from $20-40 depending on the market in your area.

5 inches about 9-12 months old

Damn I must be overfeeding or too many WC's. Our male grew to 8" and mebbe a bit more and the girl is ~ 7" in just under a year from 1-1/2"-2" juvies.

Mine grew to 7 or 8 inches relatively fast, but my blue dolphin chased it down day in and day out and eventually killed it. Boy I really miss him.

whats the recommended tank size for one of these badboys

Male. Will get to about 10-12" full grown, with proper care, and mean...very. If you want to get rid of it ask $20 for quik sale, you could prob get more but will have to grow out some.
