How much to pay for an AT?

[cjack]

I know someone who intends to sell his 4 inch AT with a nice teardrop. I am thinking of getting it from him. It has been with him for 3 months.

What do you guys think is a reasonable price? I know the farms can offer about $70 or so, but its a big risk to get it from there. The AT, may or may not survive inmy tank.

Of course, I will setup a Q tank and the full works first. Besides, I intend to go fishless for 6 weeks first.

Question is, how much should I pay for it? ( if I want to get it that is ).

depending on size and whether it is eating well.

by eating well I mean what type of food it eats. a variety? or isolated groups/types?

IMO, AT tat size and livin in a aquaria for 3mth could easill fetch a price tag of $120. But before committin, its better to ask urself....r u capable of providin it with a better environment ( can be interms of water condition, any other aggressors....etc).

Btw....ur thread happened to be posted in tge wrong section bro.

At the same time also check out if the AT is fat or not. Cos eating well surely will be fat.

Best already feeding on pellets and that will make your life much easier.
