Black rams question

[danotaylor]

There’s someone here in Cincinnati selling a pair of black rams on Craigslist. The pics show crazy long dorsal ray filaments. I have not seen this in any of the many pics of BR’s here on SD. They look of ratty & damaged but it appears the pair is in a tank of their own. What are your thoughts? Thanks team SD!

Danny, those fins are really long but I can see it happening if they arent fighting any other rams.

heres one of black rams from a solo pair.


never had any as long as those though.

Re: Black rams question

Thanks Al. Good to know. The seller is asking $50 for the pair. Is that a fair price?

Danny the price is fair for a pair..

heres a reference...

but and this is just my impression from the pic... They look "old " to me ..maybe the seller is turning over older breeders ?

Re: Black rams question

Thank you Al. I appreciate the guidance! I remember reading somewhere here I think that the life expectancy is around 2 year’ish. I will probably pass then. Thanks mate :thimbsup:

Re: Black rams question

I thought the same thing. They look like an old pair. I was getting $65. for my pairs and I've seen then as high as $75.

I agree the look old. That was my price at the end $75 but I stopped beading PBR's. I sold mostly on FB.
