Blue Star Leopard Wrasse

[kapnkush608]

Hey peeps, I'm picking up a tank breakdown and I'm selling some of the stock in it to someone and I'm not sure what to charge for this Wrasse. He says it's a male. I obviously want to get the most I can for it but want to give him a fair price as well. Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance.

Yes, that’s a male blue star. $50 probably fair.

I agree $50 would be fair for an established male. I paid $35 for my juvie.

Cool, thanks @ca1ore and @Jesterrace

$50 is about right. Might be a little tougher to sell though since it’s already turned male. Most people seem to like the little juvies/females better.

Buyer already knows it's a male. Thanks for the heads-up though.

If I'm selling a fish out of my system, first I look at the price in local stores and online.
Then I usually add a little bit more for a fish that is disease free and eating prepared food.
The bipartus wrasses are known poor shippers, and sometimes tough to get eating.

Yeah I looked around but we have a pet land and a Petco in town. And they don't have very much of a selection.
