    It depends on where you are. If they are healthy, fat purple tangs, it might pay to sell them to one of the lfs's. They are not cheap at 4 inches. Check the on-line stores and then add the shipping to it for a fair price if you sell to an individual.

    I payed about $80 for a purple tang from a local fish store. It was about 2.5 to 3".

    You have 2 purples that tolerate each other? If that is the case then I would say that they are worth a whole lot more than your normal fat and happy 4" purple tang. I have a 4" and he is my favorite fish. Love it when he swims side by side with a similiar sized Yellow Tang. Too bad yellow tangs don't have purple tail and purple pectoral fins(negative of the purple).

    I gave 85 for my purple 3.5" a year or so ago.
