reasonable barramundi price

[ilikeb00st]

saw a tank of barramundi - large perch at a local fish store. My question is what is a reasonable price for a 1.5" - 2"? They have them priced at $25 each. I was thinking about getting them, but wasn't sure if it was worth that much.

overpriced? fair? good deal?

if I could keep them to adulthood then I'd go for that price.

I've seen them at lfs here for around that price. if you like the fish then why not, its not that expensive plus they are great fish to own

depends on where u at but here in the Philippines i could buy a 5 incher for $1.

Sometimes there are live ones for sale in the Chinatown markets here but they are pretty beaten up.They range from four to eight inches and were around five bucks.

Buy em.

Me?..I was tempted back when I saw them but they looked to be in bad shape,they were in unheated tanks as they were intended to be sold as food rather than as pets.

My LFS has barra for $20 and they are all around 2" atm. For such a great fish witch over here in Aus is held in such high regards its well worth it.

Great centerpiece for the aquarium, plenty of fight and challenge for anglers and bloody great to eat.

Paid $18 aud for them here, no matter what the exchange rate is trust me its worth there a great fish. Or go all out and get a platinum barra.
