There's another successful kel pair breeding in Taiwan, few months back. Not sure what kind of kels though. From what I hear, these are much less spectacular but still young so hard to really know. estimate these can be had at 60-80USD 2-3" fish, at the wholesale level. Have yet to see one. Heard the 2 batches were exclusively sold to macau and china.

300USD for japan bred fish sounds reasonable (high cost of everything there). I'd even go as far as saying a good deal, assuming the fish are at a stable size, and especially so with parents like that. Doubt they'd go for less cos the domestic and regional markets would pay much more I'm sure. 1000 isn't that many compared to the demand.

with successful kel captive breeding on the rise, wouldn't be suprised if prices corrected significantly across the board (wild/captive bred) in the next 1-2 years, provided they look nice full grown.

not the word on the street, here. LFS will get some soon so I'll take some photos. The japan ones will cost big money. There's talk the taiwan ones will sell for 150usd or so 2-3" fish.
 
well at least i think Li is in japan, not sure. wherever he is, the picture i posted came from his facebook post earlier this morning. and that poster is the same one in James' thread. so i really dont know what the actual source is, but they are the bahia's either way
