HaNs Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Dad said he saw some leafy/seaweed looking sea dragons that cost $25,000 per year just to feed. Where in a public display in oz this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 that is expensive but then breeding a constant supply of shrimp and mysis might be expensive or was that to cover the cost of a boat for collecting the food in the wild costs me 2 hours every 2 weeks to collect mysis and shrimp locally about a 20 litre bucket full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Dragons are one of the most beautiful fish in todays market. They are very slim and hard to find, and when you do expect to pay from $10,000-25,000USD. If you want to keep one or a pair you will need a tank... 10ftx4ftx4ft in size. This is because they need a vast amount of space, some people think that they dont being related to the seahorse but if I am personally doing this and spending up to 25k per fish? Secondly a BIG chiller, you need to keep a constant temperature. LR and LS... they need to be pest free. tank mates - woudnt risk it Getting them into the country. CITES, MAF and mayby IMER permission. LOTS of paper work paper work = Money Lastly feeding, we dont have the same live foods offered in many other countries, so you would have to spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ trying to get food for them... Other than that they are a lovly fish and would be a pleasure to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
