Probably next week or so I will sell some of the fish I raised on Craigslist. Ppl usually unload all of their convict fry on there, but I have raised 10 of them. All of them were raised on NLS and are about 5 months old. I also have 3, year old female convicts from a previous spawn that I'd like to get rid of also.


So what do you think is a good price to sell them at. 10 decent sized juvenile convict cichlids, and 3 semi-adult females. About 4 males, all the rest are female.
 
Do you think one person is going to buy them? I kind of doubt it. A buck a piece. Or offer them for free and pray someone takes them.
 
If you wait a couple months they'll be easier to sell as pairs. And believe me they will almost all pair up if there's enough caves, with the alpha male taking the best female first and so on. They'll go slow as individuals tho even if you post them for free, my lfs has like 4 tanks full of them lol

The ifs closet to me sells convicts this size for $4! And ppl actually buy them! I think like Tommy said, $20 is a fair asking price. I think I'll keep the alpha male and grow him out, I am quite fond of the male nuchal hump on convicts!
 
Convicts in my area are commonly found on craigslist for a buck or two. They are a common easily bread fish so don't expect to get a whole lot from them.

Moved to breeding
