just wondering because i have plenty for sale at a very low price but no one is jumping on them. does someone else have a cheaper price or is it just because ppl want to get them from vendors instead of saving money??? :nilly:
 
A lot of people are making comments that the price will go down but i disagree. I think the prices will stay pretty much the same for this fish give or take a few dollars here and there. Seems like the going rate right now is around $50 for a fish thats a few inches. I paid 90 for mine a few months ago but they were a little bit larger at around 4 inches.
 
i will speak for myself. Im just enjoying what I have now. Many great fishes havent really had their turn with me yet. Ornatus is one of them. They are nice and for sure they are here to stay. Unless out of all the ones sold, no one is able to breed them. I would like a pair NOW. But no room, and it isnt important to spend for.

These Ornatus came like a flood. Dont you guys wonder how the hell they Wild catch a bunch of frys at the same size and a bunch of larger ones? I dont believe they are wild caught. I think they are F1s. Just my assumption.
 
I got mine from Rapps because he also had argentea and rotkiel that I wanted. That was the deal breaker I saved money just because of shipping all from the same place

If Rapps personally told me they were wild caught I believe they are wild caught.

Now if you had festae... I would for sure get some and I'm sure you would be sold out.

i know for sure mine are comming from colombia only because i know the importer. i believe most vendors are getting them from the same people but i have also heard of vendors paying more than my cost. not sure if this is true though.

Well I can only assume that from seeing so many of them. We can only go by what we were told from who we get them from. It doesnt change the fish. No big deal.

I was planning to get a group of frys from you actually. But something happened here and I can not buy anymore fish at all. I hope to be back on track soon so I can grow me some Ornatas
 
If F1 hit the market the price will drop very fast. If no one is able to spawn them the price will go up.
