What do you think is a fair price for your BN's from your LFS?

I wont let them have mine for any less then £1.50 that is for commons at and 1" - 1 1/2" dont let them offer you any less than that they are only going to put them up at £5 each or more. I have taken them to a couple of my local LFS and they both try paying as little as 75p but they just out to rip you off. it helps if you go in quite often and build up a relationship with them. the only prob you may come across is if there is sombody willing to undercut you . Iv taken over from another local breader that has moved away i bought most of her stock

As youve posted in $$$'s ive gone for $2.00 which pretty much equals £1.00 British Quid....

Seems to be the going rate here....

Hrmmm, thats a tough one on an international forum. To a fish shop i sell mine to them at whatever the bulk outlets are selling for rounded down to the nearest dollar. so they do vary a bit but in general its $3 for commons, $9 for albinos, $15 for albino longfins and $23 for common longfins. When i sell to the public i add a couple of $$$ on so its $5 for a common, $10 for an albino, $15 for an albino longifn and $25 for a common longfin.

I sell mine at 3.3cms for shortfins (TL) and 3.7 for longfins (TL)

iv never sold fish to lfs and dont know what i could get for them but i do have 100+ common fry i should b getting rid of eventually. so i just chose to get what i can for them, im not fussed. its no wonder lfs charge so much for them if they buyin them for that much doug

cant sell commons round here,same story they are given to them.

asked about other than common, and all local shops to me only get them from the trade

Went into my lfs today to find out about selling my babies when they are big enough and was offered £1.60 each for them and was asked if I would be able to supply them ongoing!
Well happy

well pleased for you,it not just me i asked but this area is full of bns,they will take them for nothing,used to sell angel fish to many shops ,maybe L numders will change their minds.

The guy siad that they dont normally take fish from local breeders but because I go in there a lot and he said 'I know you look after your fish' he was happy to buy them from me.
He also said that because I was just up the road from them that the fish wouldnt be anywhere near as stressed as they usually are when they arrive from his normal trade supplier...
Im really happy. I was worried I was gonna end up with hundreds of them

They dont really go in for the L numbers much around here. The same guy said that he had bought some to sell before (the cheaper end of the market) and they just didnt sell...
I have to travel a fair distance to see any

how much do you guys sell your longfins for???
Both albino and brown???
