not very often people say to increase prices.

I have baby Bangers too...and I don't want to be undercut. LOL!!! They take a lot of time and effort to raise. You can't buy them for less than $40-60 at the LFS's here. Which is retarded, but still...

Would love some cardinals..but i am afraid you are too far away for me to just go on a quick road trip. If you ever come down to Chilliwack let me know though

Wow thats WAYYYYY overpriced! $40-60????? Jeez...

Im interested in a few cardinals actually. I will PM you.

sorry Myka, I didn't mean to undercut you. they do take time and effort to raise. for such an easy fish to breed and raise they are a difficult fish to breed and raise.

[mark]

sick lid, you bred them? If so, excellent!

btw, seen cardinals in Edm for $20 at a LFS.

[howdy20012002]

that wasn't for TR.
I actually haven't seen any TR in edmonton.
it is awesome that he is raising them.

Congrats Larry on your breeding endeavors. You have PM.

Ha! I understand! I was just kidding anyway. You're undercutting yourself more than me! They are a pain in the butt to raise, and take a long time to get to sellable size. I don't think anyone actually makes a profit off them...you'd have to be a big hatchery to make money. I can easily sell TR bangers for $25-30 around here just advertising in the local online classifieds. They don't last long at that price. The LFS's around here really vary in prices. A plain ole Ocellaris clown will sell for $18-35 depending which store you go to. You'll pay up to $60 just for a piece of Xenia! I haven't seen a Bangaii for less than $40.

Good job on the breeding on all of them! I think the shrimp are the most difficult to raise...? I'd like to try my hand with them soon.

I just got a nice misbarred clown and 2 peppermint shrimp from Sick Lid last night and they are doing great. the peppermints are about 5-6 cm long with nice vibrant red coloring. Real nice stuff. I got the last 2 those size i think but he has a couple other batches on the way.
