how much is this black ray worth??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
whatever some one is willing to pay for her.
I agree with Vamp.. if she is pure hen,
she would be in my opinion,
around 1000 wild
Maybe 1300 captive
if preg Id say 2000, not knowing how many she will have..
First litter i take it....

I myself, if i was putting her up for sale, would wait till she births
then you can sale her for around 1300
sale the pups to.. and maybe make more, but also take the chance to make less.

Who would the dad be if she was preg?

DB Junkie has posted on MFK that he has a friend selling pairs of WC Henlei for $1,000.00 and they are not pups either - I think around 10". I guess it all depend on your local market as to what is available to determine what you can a ray for. I've seen some pretty awesome rays go for cheap and some average rays go for big $$

Is the BD the dad for sure?
 
I'd say wait til she gives birth then ask 1500 for her as a proven breeder then sell the pups you could make more money doing that I would think

i thought a 10" ray is still a pup?
and yes the bd will be the father my male henlei is only 15" and just coming into maturity i dont expect any thing from him for a year or two maybe even 3.

i agree on the local market thing and yes i too have seen some pretty awsome rays go for cheap lol that p13 i sold to you :) but that also depends on what rays are available..high quality rays always sell . its not just a species thing if a ray sells for $500 doesnt mean that the other thats much nicer is worth that! my reccomendation to people is make sure your satisfied before you buy.sometimes things come up and people get amazing deals but usualy you have to pay top dollar for top notch rays.

i already kinda made a deal with a friend for her i am a man of my word and i hate going back on agreements that i have already made....
but maybe i can just work something out with him :)

Well if anything don't sell her until she gives birth you could double your money if she has just one pup
 
Unfortunately she's sold ! I had no choice i got a very big female ray coming I'n and i need space real bad :(

Sometimes one must make sacrifices !
