Festae Pair Update, possibily for sale (load warning!!!!)

[vass69]

Hey everyone, I haven't been on in a while so I figured I would update everyone on the progess of my "favorite" fish, my festae pair. Unfortunatly I believe they might be for sale soon to the right person, for the right price. They have breed prior about two months ago and the fry (about 40-50) of them are doing good on baby and adult brine shrimp, bloodworms and flake food.

My questions are:

How much would breeding pair of Festae be worth?

Who might be interested? Just so I can gauge interest.


I hope everyone enjoys the pics, although they were taken with my phone and the glass was dirty.

Nice pair, sucks you might have to sell them. Would you consider shipping or P/U only?

To be quite frank... lol name your price.

 

[vass69]

I have never shipped before but wouldn't but against it.

And frankly its more like "make me an offer"

I gauged offers for mine and out of about 12 people, 7 said they could do $150 for the pair. They were F0 from Rapps, 2 different import times (about 3 yrs apart), as the male went through 6 females before he took a liking to her. Male was 10", female 6". The male ended up killing the female before I made a decision to sell them or not...(Sorry Peter).

Heres some photos for reference of quality. Yours are beautiful.

wow yours are beautiful. I don't know the origins of the male but the female is f0 from tfd. They have successful spawned once in two months and I just removed the fry. So I'm expecting again in a few weeks to a month.

I'm more or less looking to see what someone would offer so if anyone is interested please let me know. I will only have them a few more weeks then I will be gone for a few months traveling.

Thanks again...
