Considering Downsizing

[jsmith0193]

I am considering downsizing and will need to sell my larger fish to do so. Never sold fish before and have a couple of questions.

Do I need to catch the fish before listing them for sale and what is the best way to catch? How do I price the fish - my bigger concern is that they get a good home since they have been with me for 5+ years.

The fish in question are a Regal Angelfish, Magnificent Foxface, a pair of Flame Hawkfish and depending on how small I downsize to, a Potters Angel.

Thanks.

Selling fish is hard, esp if you're attached to them. I typically look to see what they cost from a store, like liveaquaria.com And then I'll price lower or higher depending on the fish. People typically wont buy a fish that's higher priced than what they can get it for online....unless it's a rarer fish and is very healthy.

The Regal Angel is ~5", foxface is ~6", hawkfish are ~3" and the potters is ~3.5".

Interested in the foxface, would like pics though, he may be a little larger than I like for my system though. was he around corals? any munching?

Will work on pics - have to clean the glass so I can get a good pic. Aquarium used to be full of SPS - he left them all alone. He is a bit skittish and tends to follow the Regal Angel around.
