	How much do you get when trading fish back to LFS?
larry c Hobbyist Posts: 95 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Mar-2004	This week I gave my Oscar, Black Shark and Green Serveum back to the LFS. I was not expecting to get anything for them but the owner handed me a $30 credit slip. Each fish was 6-7 inches long, so a pretty good size. Has anyone else gotten credit or cash for other fish traded back?

This was after I had him for 6 months. That store was great. I wish they could have moved with me.

Male guppies sell for around $5 and clown loaches that size sell for about $8, maybe more. * all prices in Aussie dollars
