I am possibly thinking of selling a couple of my fish, but have no idea what they may be worth, one is a fully grown albino tiger oscar, and the other is a very large striped raphael catfish, any help would be apreciated, thanks

Unfortunately, large oscars are easy to come by so you'll probably on be able to get $10 or so for him. The raphael catfish looks fantastic though, I've never seen a large one in person. I bet you could ask about $25-30 for him.
 
I would give the oscar away for free... the cat...also free because it would be more of a hassle to sale it. But instead of giving it away... go to the lfs and get credit for them.
 
Like it was already said Oscars are easy to get for most people. I only got $10 when i sold mine but the cat you could probably get more, ive never had one so im not sure.
 
I'd say it's worth 2 in the bush. :grinno:

I'd agree with the above, maybe a little lower on the catfish though.

Hmm... That is a fine looking bird in the hand. :grinno:
 
Well you see the catfish is looking straight at the tube, the oscar is trying to get into the picture, and the glass is in mint condition. I'd say if this picture were to go into auction today, it's be worth two in the bush.

You'd be hard-pressed to sell these guys. I'd sell the Oscar on craigslist, and trade in the raphael catfish at your LFS.
 
figured the oscar is a dime a dozen, just not sure of the catfish, I have never seen one as big as he is, Thanks for your input, I may list them on here over the weekend as well as craigslist,
 
I have a 175 that the cat can go in (, tank is pretty much empty beside aros. I'm located in dc. What lfs are you going to take them to just curious?
