Cha Ching....just think if you had a nice tank to grow your Bn's out to a breeding size and sell them as pair's......if feed well it wouldnt take that long...within a year or so you could have loadsa pairs to sell.......

thats very true mate but for L144 to get to a sex able age it takes longer then it does with Common BN

yeh plus they are also alot more rare than common's......

nice fish though......

ive not seen a stock update mate of your fish what have you got and not got these days?? you still the 182's??

Sorry mate keep forgetting lol

yeah still got the L182s but they havent spawned for a while

got Pair of L144s will update the Spawning thread with the pics i promised at some point this evening

and i have a trio of L134s

group of Black corys im trying to spawn
Group of Sterbai that im trying to spawn
and a pair of Guppies that are lovely lol

and thats it for now bit will be setting up another couple of tanks in the new Year already have a deposit down on the fish that will be going in them a pair of Ancistus Blauge

and im looking for something else to go in another tank might get some Hyphans 333s or 66s maybe

That's actually not to bad of a price- current bid is sitting at 54pounds which works to be about $110-$115 in OZ dollars (considering these are in limited numbers in OZ) I'd go get them tommorrow if they were here.
Pepps are still running up $200+ for a pair in OZ and thats a questionable breeding pair-- guaranteed breeders , keep going with the dollars.
So i guess yes it could financially beneficial.

wow J prices are high in Oz mate.....if only i could send them over id make a flipping killing lol.......

Horrid import restrictions
I know it's close to a 20hour flight from the UK and that could stress the fish a lot
but what about L144's , Super reds and the other tank breed species, they should be the types of fish that are allowed to travel to other countries, it's not like they
are wild caught Zebs (L046).
Now if you had a breeding pair of these in OZ (L046) you could just about retire in a few years, provided you can find people willing to fork out $2000 a fish.

Holy moley....................

i think i might move to Oz with a suitcase full of Zebz.....

Good luck with that Curby - it was only a few months ago some guy got caught bringing "armoured catfish"( I'm only guessing PLECS) into the country--
that little exercise score him a period in the lockup and a fine that will take him most of his natural born life to pay.
I'd advise against the suitcase caper
J

I will have to come over on a Banana boat then..

Having pretty big issues with that over here to at the moment but I'll keep this to myself. Back to the thread

same person as advertised three pairs first pair went for £104 another £127 dont know what the third pair went for but he must be well chuffed. hes put the hard work into breeding and rearing them so good luck to him. im doing the same thing with 20 pairs of unrelated albinos. ive got the males in my koi vat and the females in a four foot tank. im not sure wheather i should pair them up and get them to spawn or just sell them as sexed pairs whats your thoughts on this guys

If I had some I'd have sold them by now
Cannot see these prices remaining at this level it's just bloddy stupid imho

me too

That is Crazy i cant believe they went for that price think i will be growing my fry on instead of selling them at 1" for a fiver lol

If they continue like this will be worth more than L46's

Im not complaining i have a pair of breeding 144s lol

It doesn't take long for all them 1" fivers to turn into a nice chunk of coin(+ your
talking pounds that's about $12-$15 in OZ), I really need my Pepps to get rockin to get anywhere near that sort of price instead of $2.50-$3 a head for commons.
And the prices I mentioned on the pepps b4 that was shop price , a little cheaper
if privately brought, all though the price on the L046 are from a private seller :
imagine what the shops would try and pop ya.
