Ok, I have a 13 inch, what I believe to be and Albino Oscar. As I dont really have a big enough tank for him, im trying to asses his worth. Around my area you can get baby oscars, 2-3 inchs for 10-15$ so how much could and should I try to get for my big oscar? Pics of him are included.

That looks to be a Red Oscar. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=2439 I use to have 2 of them, and they where just a tad bit smaller. I got $20 for the both of them at my LFS. If you get a pubic buyer you might get more. Just depends on how bad they want it.

You won't get to much for him, maybe $10-15 and its usually store credit. The resale of fish isn't very lucrative due to the fact that the store has to make a profit after they pay you. You'll make more money selling to a private buyer and that still won't be more than like $30. Oscars are a very common fish, a dime a dozen per say.
