If you get the lowest priced angelfish, around how much would it cost? And are they fin nippers?

Depends on what size you buy them and what type of angelfish..also where your alocated. Where im at a small angel costs from 3.99 - 6.00. LArge Being about 17.00 -25.00. I havent had a prb with my angels nipping at fins or being agressive to my much smaller fish. (danios)

My LFS sells medium sized angels for around $5 all the time.

some places carry all sizes, with the smallest being dime sized, and the prices start at around $5, and can climb to over $25 dollars for a regular 4" fish.

the specimines with better, longer fins usually sell for more. for example, a quarter sized angel with short fins that havent grown out yet will go for about 8 dollars by me, while the same sized angel with fins that have grown out go for over $12. as i said, a regular 4" angel with regular fins goes for about $25, but if he had long, grown out fins or he was a veil, he could easily command $30- $40

size sets the price on domestic angels.
availability sets the price on wild angels.

domestics range from $4-$7 for small. $7-$10 for med $15-$25 for large.
wild start at $15 for small and go up from there..Altums tend to cost more but are a lot more fragile interms of water conditions. wild scalare run a bit less but can run $10 for small and $25 for med.

you can find angels pretty cheap on aquabid, especially if they're "culls" which are just fine for the average aquariast. like star said, as far as wilds, its a crap shoot. i got my wild altums 6-120$, but i'm a frequent fly on the wall at that LFS, or it would have been closer to 200$. Lovely fish though.
