How much should I ask?

[TOURKID]

Well, Im moving to vegas and I cant bring the tank... to long of a drive...

Im going to try to sell everything at once but I doubt that would happen.. in that case..

I have a pair of gold stripe maroons. They have been laying large batches of healthy eggs for 1 1/2 years. they are beautiful fish.

They have to go with theyre rock and anemone.

A 250.00 obta from the divers den. had it over 1 1/2 years, never split but its very large and has held its color.

and the rock is crawling with coral and weighs about 10-15 pounds


to me? priceless beyond a doubt... what would u pay?

just make sure that you check a couple sites to see what places are charging. Also make sure that you take shipping into account and that everyone on this site is looking for a deal. Selling on RC you already have 3 strikes. 1. no guarantee 2. no combined shipping 3. everyone thinks of this place as "should be cheaper than a store"

Number 3 isn't true, most people charge very high prices on here it seems.

 

[aww_419]

charging high doesnt mean it sells

what kind of nem is that?

 

[Heterodonut]

I'd pay $250 for the pair of GSM's. I'd pay $50 for the BTA. You asked what people would pay, this is what I would honestly, seriously pay. If I were forced to buy the rock in order to get the clown pair, I'd pay $75. or $7.50 a lb., but I have 300 lbs of rock that looks the same.

 

[TOURKID]

Heterodonut- Right, its not about making u buy the rock, its that the clowns have laid eggs on the same spot forever and I want them to be happy lol

And the nems foot is so big I could never get it out of the cave... It has a resident pistol shrimp too

So 250 for a pair of breeding clowns? Sounds about right. They lay theyre eggs at the same minute on the same day like clockwork. 3 days after the eggs hatch they lay agian.

clayton - its a bta

baby steve

obta day 2

[Heterodonut]

Tourkid, Believe me, if I got the clowns from you, I'd want them to be just as happy. I think Wilkerson in her book describes clowns laying on a tile like clockwork, but when the tile's angle got tilted about 10 degrees off, the clowns stopped laying. Tile was reset to "proper" angle, and bam a nest. My personal experience is if the clowns feel safe, comfortable, happy and are well fed, they're gonna drop eggs somewhere. BTW, my estimate of the worth is slanted that I value a spawning pair of clowns more than a BTA. I am in the market for a spawning pair of GSM, not looking for another BTA at this time. The BTA is nice, and someone may pay 100, or even 150 for it, but not me. I hope whoever gets all of the above gives them a great home. If I lived closer I'd be knocking on your door!

 

[Heterodonut]

BTW, I also think the sight of any clown rolling around in a healthy, happy nem is a sight to behold. Priceless indeed!

 

[Kodiak5500]

Hey! I live in Columbus! I would be willing to buy it.

 

[Kodiak5500]

Private message me and we can talk.

 

[Jamie1210]

Tourkid, does obta stand for orange bta? If so, the 2nd picture of the BTA is definitely orange, but the first pic that you posted seems more green--are they the same anemone? Gorgeous fish, btw

 

[TOURKID]

jamie, yep they are the same, the tenicles are all half green half orange. still hafta take pics today.. lol

 

[aww_419]

Kodiak 5500, your not seriously thinking about buying the pair and bta and placing them in a 15gal nano are you? That is torture and will no doubt bring the demise of a great pair of clowns not to mention the anem. Maroon clowns need a lot of territory. and the bta needs a lot of light.

 

[TOURKID]

nothing is for sale ok? Im just gathering info, and enjoying showing off my clowns lol

Finally took pictures!!!
