What is a 30" silver arowana Worth
- Thread starter 815billybob
- Start date
Someone said it earlier...supply and demand. Most folks prefer to buy their fish small and raise them themselves. Not just fish, but any pet. Unless they're not getting as a pet, but as breeder stock, there probably is LESS demand for a larger fish than for a smaller, younger one. Again, same with any pet.
The larger fish are more difficult to house...hence why people often sell them after they've had them for a while, especially when they don't know what they were getting into. Which makes the supply greater than the demand...reducing the value of what you're asking about.
The folks who know what they're getting into, and want them that big, typically don't want to take the risk that the fish wasn't well cared for and could be less healthy than if they raised it themselves...so again, less demand for the older, larger fish over the younger/smaller.
Buying these kinds of fish is NOT an investment...it's a hobby or a passion.
Hope that makes it a bit clearer.

I want to know what someone that wanted one would pay. Not someone that didn't have a tank big enough would pay

See my comment above...the problem you face is that there aren't many that want them that size...ergo...they're worth less when they're larger. They're relatively cheap and easy to find in the more desireable sizes.
Understood it's not for sale...but you're asking for a "sale price".
OK well he won the argument :beer:lol its all good thanks for the info guys
