i have an 13inch ornate bichir that im thinking about selling so i can start over freash with several diffrent poly's. he's in great health and was raised with cichlids and a tsn. what is he worth?
 
Not to question you motives, but why?? A large ornate is a pretty impressive fish. That said, price will depend on the market, up in my part of Canada a little 4 inch ornate goes for just over $100cdn. I can only guess that a ornate of your size would be up around $200. That said most markets would likely command a much lower price.

Good luck on what you decide.
 
I understand being worried about mixing sizes. Most times it's okay but not everyone is willing to take the risk.

Here in socal, 12" polys go anywhere from $50 to $100.
 
If it's a captive breed price is around $50-$60. If it is a wild caught, price is around $80-$100. Depend on your location and how much you bought it before. Also if your buyer is willing to spend that amount of money that your selling your ornate.
 
ya its usually 50-80 for me and dont sell it man i wanted to sell my 12" ornate but then i saw a 16" ornate :drool: made me keep it lol
 
no i love my fish i just want a tank full of them and i know he's monster and will eat them. trust me i have no hard feelings toward him eating a pair of 10$ convicts. thats what happends sometimes. thats just what he is geared to do. this is my first poly and i just want more a tank full of these bad ass fish
 
thanks guys you have made me see the light...i raised him from a juvi i just cant sell him. and i think my 4 year old son would be very upset if i did.
