There are many things that determine what a fish is worth.
If you bought it as blue or green, it usually means there is no known track of lineage, and is basically an aquarium strain, and could be any number of species mixed together, or not, which may, or may not put off a serious collector.
But if it looks good to you, the worth is in the eye of the beholder.
If the fish was Herichthys cyannoguttatus "zacate" F0, or Herichthys carpintus "chairel" F1. this changes the equation for some, and could possibly bump up its worth.
Since there are many location variations in this Herichthys clade not to mention species that are so similar, I personally do not think it is possible to determine what your fish is with any certainty.
Unless you have owned many variations, and have kept them in separate tanks and studied them back to back, its anybodies guess.
I have kept Herichthys minkleyi, Herichthys cyannoguttatus, Herichthys tamasopoensus and herichthys carpintus "chairel", and I would not make a guess from only one pic.
