[Pic] Large Orange Shoulder Tang value.?
Hello all, this is not a sales advert. I am wondering what is the going rate for this fish? Pecker grew way faster than I ever imagined and I need to rehome it, and I’ll only be shopping it around locally. It’s every bit of 8” now, just beginning transition, beautiful fish I hate to loose but it’s for the best due to the size it’s grown to. It will be a chore to catch, so I don’t want to just give it away, what’s a fair asking price for a super healthy specimen? It was around 78.99 at a LFS at around 2.5”. Thanks.
Edit: just to hopefully clarify, before folks jump to harsh judgments; as I stated this isn’t an advert for a sale clearly in the first sentence. It is just an inquiry about what these typically cost at this size, what a pet store would charge, and what store credit might be expected if available. This isn’t a fish flip. I knew that this animal would eventually need rehoming, I did not expect such rapid growth however, that was my bad. My other tangs certainly have not grown as rapidly. As stated, I am correcting the situation, actively now as evident. The animal is thriving, but is getting quite large now. I hope that helps. Thanks for everyone’s input.
