Ceylon Puffers

[crackmonkey]

I have 4 Ceylon Puffers in my 40 Gallon Brackish tank which I now know is too small to house these fish, but they were sold to me as Figure Eights, and they looked like Figure Eights to me. Im going to have to get rid of them at some point but I was wondering how much they are worth, I only paid £3 each for them since the guy in the shop thought they were F8's, he had like 40 of them and they are pretty rare fish so he must have missed out on alot of ££££. I found this ad which is asking for £25 each:

Description: Sometimes called Topaz or Green, these hard to find puffer fish are 3" long.
Currently in fresh water, the fish will need to go to brackish water and have 30 gallons each so as to maintain their excellent health. The price is £25 each or £60 for all 3.

So is that a reasonable asking price for these puffers? How much in your opinion are they worth??

i paid £12 i think for a 3" one at maidenhead in cardiff a month or two back. They also have ceylons mislabeled as figure 8's there at the moment for £7 each. but have seen 4-5" ones in a lfs for around the £20 mark
