for the ones who sell discus(not breeders just hobbies)

how do you price them? shape,strain,health,etc etc. I've got 13 I want to sell.(so I can get some 6+ wild adults for $65.00 each). I was thinking $700.00 for all 13 of my discus. most of them are all white diamond.
only 4 of them are a different strain. any of you dfw tx discus people looking for discus?

shape, color, size and strain def count alot when selling your fish. health is no question. maybe you can show is some pics so we can help you out better

what kind of wild btw if you dont mind me asking...i love wilds

 

[fishyjoe26]

wild=wild caught
Blue (wild caught) Manacapuru 6"+
Blue (wild caught) Uatuma 6"+
Blue (wild caught) Alenquer 6"+
Tefe Green JUMBO

what size is jumbo, when reffering to discus?

 

[benito1188]

oh did the seller just discribed the fish as jumbo? im guessing since your other fish are around 6"+..jumbo=bigger than that?lol its probably thicker too.post pic when yah get em

I got to make some money though, need to sell some of my discus if I where to get those. good prices too . it's good when a friend owns a petshop and can get stuff for a good price.

Yah, as for selling the discus it all depends on if you are willing to ship or not. Locally it can be much harder to find the buyer willing to pay.

 

[fishyjoe26]

I'd possible ship, but i've never shipped a fish(es) before. but I know I would need a styrofoam box, double bag each fish, and use some tape to keep the lid on, and put a label on top.
