Ngara Flametail, Breeder Colony, 1M/7F Worth the $$

[Frostyone]

I love these guys and would love to breed them, but is this worth the $135?

Are you able to find them anywhere else? I would say if not and you really want them then they are worth it. If you can find them elsewhere for cheaper and just as nice well then go elsewhere.

 

[Frostyone]

I haven't seen any around here. Are they common in the hobby? Should I look a little harder?

 

[Muske]

Depends on how much you want them. They are fairly common, but that male is big and colorful.

IMO thats kinda spendy, but i like to think of breeding groups as investments considering in most case you can make alil extra cash with the fry, so if you think they are worth it go for it

I would say add another male in the group then yes. (Though locally we see these fish sell at auctions for 5 bucks...) I would sell females that size for ~15, males ~25. But then you have to pay shipping which likely is ~80 bucks, and honestly that is a lot of females.

Sounds a good price but too many females id add another male or 2.

 

[Muske]

Did you get them?

Nah, I'm going to look over what's available from our supplires at work and see if I can can them with a store order first. if not then I'll be looking at other means. There's one member on here that has split gene Ngara's.

Sounds like a good plan. That price seemed a bit high.
