My nextdoor neighbor wishes to purchase my guppies and I wish to sell them. I really like them, but I'll still be able to see them and I know they're going to a good home. But we just purchased new marine fish and it's going to be hard to take care of the guppies + betta + 2 puffers. So I think this is the best option because my home is extremely busy all the time and it's going to be hard enough maintaining the 72-78° F, sg 1.020-1.025, pH 8.1-8.4, dKH 8-12 for the saltwater fish. Not to mention our betta. What is a good price to sell 8 guppies + 10 gallon tank + plants + food for?

Thanks!

  1. New it would probably cost $30-45.

    Depending on the age of the tank I would ask for $15-25


  2. $60-100

  3. I would try 30 to 60 depending on your neighbors.

  4. Is that a two foot?  And does it have a stand?

    I would just sell the tank and not charge for fish and contents as though it is a big advantage to them to have a ready made set up, it would be hard to sell it to any one else with fish as they usually have their own plans as to what to put in it.

    I reckon $30/40 dollars.  Add $20 for the stand if there is one.

    Not long ago my friend offered me a two foot tank I didn't need so I passed it on to another friend who was very gratefull for it.  None of us have much money at all so we just trade in good faith that next time we have something we do not need we will think of them.  

    She's giving up fish altogether now and wants to give me her two footer with a stand that is identical to mine.  I shouldn't really, I've only just managed to down size!  I gave her an old bike last year.  Was gonna ask £10 for it but glad I didn't now.  

  5. $60.00. b/c guppies each at petstores are 2-4 dollars. so thats about $16 for the guppies. 30 for the tank. 2 for the food. and 10 for the plants. it comes to 58. round it to 60. good luck : )
