Afrikan Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 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.

Caryl Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 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.

davidb Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 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; Kissing gourami 11 Blue Acaras 11 Festivum ciclids- 12 Silver dollars- 10.00, /16 (size diff) plecos- 20 Giant gourami 35 large angels- 20 tinfoil barbs 10 diamond sharks 17, 10 severums 9gold/green) 12/15 kuhli loaches 4 for 20 Ghost knife 40 G. Brasiliensins 17 neons 10 for 17 Uaru 40 Mysus cat 15 Red scissor tail 12 G. suripari- 28 Jack dempsey 35/12 cuban cichlid 30 clown loaches 30 (gone down though I think) scunk loaches 20 Striata loaches 13 Jewel 20 red heads- 14 butterflies- 40 black neons 4 for 12 rummynoses 4 for 30 convicts- 7/9 Salvini-13 red devils cichlids- 15 3 spot gourami-10 newts 50 ea striped barbs- 11 glass cats- 12 gba's 6-20 featherfin rainbows 2 for 21 sm. firemouths 18 silver sharks- 10 (sm) oscars 25, 40 (diff patterns) so hope this helps- all prices are rounded and can of course vary greatly depending on shops but these prices show the average sorts of prices for tropical fish...
