What would you pay?

Damn he looks good! He's got the wild type colors to him, too. Very nice!
 
Do post some more pics, Johnny. I love it when people have TATF that show wild-type colors. I'm digging that bluish adipose fin. :)
 
12" gatf typically go for $500, I'd say $300 for a 10" is a quick sale. Assuming it is actually that size, in condition
That is if you can even find one for sale. If someone wants one bad enough they will pay WAY more.

That's just it, typically we don't see TATF at this size for sale. I'm not actively trying to sell this fish but I do consider it at times. If I was presented with an offer I couldn't refuse if take it.

I will, I don't know why the pics are side ways. Even tried turning them but they still end up sideways. Only on new pics though, if I post an old pic out of my phone it's right side up.

The problem with tanzaniae is that the vast majority of fish keepers don't know what they are yet. Everyone seems to still want either goliath or vittatus. Personally, I think tanzaniae is the most beautiful species of the whole group. If you get someone who realizes just what you have there, I think your odds are pretty good of making a decent amount of money off of him. A lot of aquarists might be put off by the fact that its something they've likely never heard of. Keep in mind that TATF has only been firmly ID'd in the hobby for a little less than a year.

I'm inclined to agree with the others though: a big, healthy, beautiful TATF should probably command a premium price.
