Is there a price list guide for fish?

What do you mean by that pinetree?

Price list from where?

price guide of fish

Hmm sorry I am still a bit stumped... :oops:

Are you meaning from retail outlets? Prices will differ from store to store, whether the fish has been bought from the same suppliers, or depending what sort of markup each individual store puts on their goods or livestock...

Sometimes if a fish is purchased from a breeder a shop will often put a lower price on a fish, however, in some cases this doesn't happen.. :roll: :lol:

Nope, there is no guide.

The easier to breed and raise a fish is, the cheaper it is. For example Danios can be bred weekly and require little care - $3 each, where as Discus need to be raised off the parents and given near perfect water conditions hence prices vary from $35 to $300.

There is no store I'd consider a 'rip off' if that's what you are wanting to know. Unless you're buying fish valued over $20 I wouldn't worry too much. Also a good idea to ask on here because many users breed fish themselves and have excess, also try trademe.co.nz and look under Home and Living > Pets > Fish.

thanks for the information very helpful

hahaha.. when I was reading this I kinnda thought to myself of a "pricespy.co.nz" version for fishes

it would be most informative....... but who would keep it up to date?

The prices vary widely from shop to shop and area to area. Some fish in ChCh are a lot cheaper than the same fish in Auckland, and vice versa. Same goes for plants. I can't believe what some have to pay for basic plants like Java fern.

haha I have a list!!!

it is a personal compilation so it is biased towards fish I am thinking of keeping in the future and misses fish which i don't have as much interst for. These prices were effective as of 1 month ago. the prices are taken from 2 or 3 different shops in auckland and go something like this;
