I would say $40 - 50 for the pair.

Maybe for a proven pair, but seeing these have yet to spawn I would say less.

$40-$50 would be to much for an adult pair of albino blue eye bristlenose ? i could see maybe browns it would be to much but i have never see adult blue eyes for sale. thats kinda y i was wondering a price so i know about how much to offer

Yeah, now that I think about it I have to agree with nvcichlids, $40 - 50 would be too much for a non proven pair. Aquabid has blue eyes for sale from time to time. Maybe $25 - 30 if they are already a nice size. :cheers:
