How much are these worth?

[arodini]

Hi, I'm new to this sub-forum. I'm wondering if you could help me estimate how much this group of discuss is worth total?

3 gold
1 blue diamond
2 breeding pairs (actually laid eggs and raised fries)

pictures are labeled as such.

Thanks!

give him 300

again, i'm new to discus. is it that much? he's willing to trade the whole group for my 20" jardini.

btw, he's a nice young guy that i got my jar from him at 2.5" two years ago. this jar is imported from asia.

wow thats a steal your aro wouldnt even go for what those nice discus go for

I've usually seen discuss that size sell for $50 to $100 each (retail). I'm not an expert with discus or the several varieties they come in, but I would think that you would be on the better end of that deal from a money standpoint.

Either way, if the trade makes you happy, if you want the discus more than the jar, go for it.

discus are pricey...i'd do it

just got off the phone with him. he said his collection is 10 discus, not 8! and he'd give it the whole group to me. he also said he invested about $1000 on it. and he's willing to trade it for my jar (his originally). he had problem raising jardini's to adult size for some reasons, so he's glad to see mine grow this big and he know the quality of the fish since he bought it in a patch from asia.

thanks all for the appraisal. i may come here in a near future. i've been over the flowerhorn sub-forum, but not here before.

Discus are harder to raise and keep then an aro.... i wouldn't trade mine for any fish.... N i just sold my last 10 discus to close out discus raising for this year... it was to much of a pain

Discus = pretty high maintenance but if you have the time and resource, they are worth it.

I started raising Discus last year.Previously went for the Hype about difficulty.I have found them to be less then difficult. Heavy filtration and quality food seems to be all they need.(and about 83 to 84 degrees does the trick)
