how much can I sell festae fry for??

[sellfish]

If you like the fish, i would just worry about getting them to breed, keeping the fry alive and then the market will determine what they are worth?
I would like to see your festae.
Can you post some pics?

Ya I understand what your saying and thats the idea. I just thought I would ask a couple questions. And ya im still trying to take good pics and learning how to post them.

As long as you grow them out nicely to about 1 - 2 inches, you will have no problem selling them for $10-15 locally and online. Just because another person sells them locally does not mean you have to lowball yourself. It's just part of marketing and business.
If they were convicts, that's one thing, but they are a less common, and more desirable, fish.

Ok thanks fwprawn.!!! If there f1 are they worth more or the same??

 

[fwprawn]

More than the farmed ones sold at most stores, yes.

Ok becuase when I bought mine they were sold as wild caught and I paid 18$ each and they were 1" inch.

 

[fwprawn]

Yeah, that's about right.

 

[belfiore11]

Ok I just wanted to make sure I wasnt getting sold a farm raised.

 

[fwprawn]

Well, if you bought them from a store, you never really know - but as long as they are nice, it doesn't really matter.

Ya true I just would really like to have wild caught especially since I paid so much for them. They were sellibg them as true wild caught red terrors.
