I have a 8", and 10" rhino pleco.

I was wondering what is the average selling price for rhino plecos this size?

BTW: The title is supposed to say how. lol
 
I'd be surprised if a LFS gave you more then $10 for either as they would want to re-sell them for $20.

Shame your not in Austin, Texas. I'd buy the smaller one for $15-$20
 
Ughhh. I paid $30 each when they were 3". I figured at least $60 each for their size now. I wish I live in NJ, or TX when I bought them. lol

Wow! Never saw one that high priced, even the first one I ever saw back in the early 90's went for $25 at an Auction. Since then I've never seen them above $20
 
Yeah that is High-priced if it was a pseudacanthicas species I could understand but a rhino---wow. Like $10 bucks for a big one over here.
 
This sucks. I thought they would easily be worth $50 each due to their size. I am going to have no choice but to try to get $30 for them. I do not want to loose $ on them, especially since I have grown them out since they were 2-3".

Look at the price of this 11"er:

Pterygoplichthys scrophus - Rhino Pleco11"1$106.38 ( www.mainlycichlids.com)

BTW: I wish had a lfs near me that sells plecos that cheap. Our common plecos here are $11.99 each. ( for the 7-9"+)
 
Actually instead of selling them, I am just going to add 1 more to the group, and just keep them until they get like 15". Once they all reach that size, I will see if my local aquarium will take them in.

I just bought a large one off aquabid for a GREAT DEAL.
