Is it worth it or just too much?

[Charney]

So I am putting together a group of L14s that I hope to breed one day. I currently have three sunshine pelcos a 7 inchers, 4-5 incher, and a 3 incher. I would like to get at least one or two more. I don't want another 6 inch plus fish at this point. I am growing them out. I would really like more of the 3 inch or so which is coming really hard to find. I can find the big boys no problem. A lfs by me has a 3 incher for $100. Is it worth it? the fish seems really over priced to me, but then again when you have the only small one you can charge what you want. Is it worth it at $100. If not what about $75 (I may be able to get the price down). I don't mind spending money on expensive fish when priced appropriately.

The Goldies use to be expensive but I have seen them come down in price a great deal. My LFS has a 5" L14 for $65.

he can't get them right now. Also the last one he got was really nice but over priced as well.

when is the right seasons for babies? Should I just wait it out then? My fear is always that we won't be able to bring more into the country.


also $65 for a 5 incher is a steal.

pm Mark from discus origins I was talking to him last night he is getting fish in next week ask him if they are available or when the right season is he will know. you gotta pay shipping but his fish are dynamite I got an l24 from him a couple months ago and it ate the day it came in.

if i see any local I will let you know.

Get them while you can when the get that dam done it will be a very hard species to get a hold of. Just my opinion.

that was kind of what I was thinking

the other option, which I have been doing so far it wait for aquascape to get more in. My other ones are from there. Healthy fish and reasonable prices. Just don't know when or if they will get more.

sounds a bit steep in price to me.
