Retail and breeder price are very different beasts $700 is a pretty exxy for a small silver (300-400 max) and 1500 is way too much for a silver of any size, maybe a green but def not a silver. If you are interested in red tail catties I will let you know how my mate goes with spawning as well.At $200 a pop its cheap. Down here your paying at least $700 for the silver aros. St.george aquariums was trying to sell me a 60cm silver with drop eye for wait for it........................... Drum roll please! $1500.............yep you read right $1,500
