Why are rhoms on this forum so expensive?

[Anchovie]

I see threads where people are spending over 200$ for a rhom, but they're at my lfs everyday for 17$. These are not tiny fish either, I'm talking about 4-5" fish for 16.99. They're there every day labeled as "black piranha". They also sell rbp as a group deal, selling 4 for 30$

Well there are different variants, and rarity of rhoms such as the diamond varient.

I don't own one personally, but a large rhom can be sold for that much easily.

My buddy paid about 200 for a large blue diamond rhom and he says it was definitely worth it.

Do you have any picture of those "black piranha" from your lfs?

Yea I have to go there this week to trade in a couple grow outs so I'll snap a pic for an id. I don't think they're anything special but if they're rhoms then that seems super cheap.

It might be a few days. The lfs is an hour away I gotta find time to go. They might not even be rhoms I'm no p expert but they sure look like all the rhom pics I'm seeing.
