My mates down sizing his tank. I'd love to make him an offer as it is a beauty!!! But sadly i'm at my limit of fish!!!!!! How much could you expect to pay for this type of fish?????? He also has a regal and sailfin tangs and a clarki!!!

They are beautiful fish. Theres rumour of a ban on fishing them from the Red Sea so therefore prices have rocketed as of late. I have seen them varying from £75 - £250. I think a shop could charge pretty much what they wanted ATM.

Hi Slash,I've only seen the one in my area Doncaster! It was larger than this but in terrible condition!!!!! Skinny up and down the tank!!!!! This one's about "that big". Sorry!!!! About 4-5 inches. Blump and readily eating!!!! Although i haven't seen it eating but u could tell it has its fair share. How much do u reakon for this size????????

I would make sure that you have seen it eating first, just to make sure. Make sure it isn't just picking at its food. They are fairly uncommon however they have appeared all over the place since this ban rumour as shops are advertising elsewhere a lot more because they know people will want them.

For that size I think you would expect to pay best part of £100 or slightly more. It varies though. I can only judge that on the prices I have seen myself for that size. Have seen 6-7inch at around £185 and 3-4 at around £85ish.

Hi slash. Thanks for info I'll pass it on! Where abouts are u from??? Got to logg off now and beat my son to a pulp on fifa 08!!!!

Thats ok Dave. I'm in Milton Keynes. Haha ok, I tend to beat my brother at Fifa a hell of alot too.

There is a purple tang being sold by delta marines caerphilly( its being advertised in marine fish and inverts top of this page) no 100 on the page.

Cheers Grandad. U've cheered my mate up know end!!! His is 4 to 5 inch he's counting the spondoolies already!!!!!!!
