Why are rhoms on this forum so expensive?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yea I got mine for 22$ but it was the size of a dime. They are hella cheaper when their babies cuz they don't grow to full size in aquariums and they grow slow. A adult 6-8"+ rhom is always going to be a lot more cash, they are all wild caught and imported or traded locally. 99.9% immposible to breed in captivity, a zoo did it but I'm sure the tank was ridiculously giant.

I'm sure the blacks your lfs has are tiny, hence the price amigo...... BTW 14" rhoms online are 500$+ cuz they wont grow to that size in tanks like I said above.

Ya I remember you saying how small your rhom was at first. But didnt know rhoms didnt get that big in aquariums. Thats really interesting. Thanks for sharing that
