Ira Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction_detail.asp?id=16339338 4 Frontosas. I'd love to get these, but I don't even have enough room for the fish I HAVE let alone 4 more BIG fish. It says they're agressive, I'd thought they were supposed to be really calm?

livebearer_breeder Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 the price is very steep! or is that cheap?? LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fins Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I saw on one website that adults cost about $60 to $80 US each. Plus this guy got them imported and that wouldnt have come cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 yeah but he might have breed them and had so many that he was selling them cheap! LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fins Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 She said that he imported them in the questions/answers section. Still a good price anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yeah, it's pricy but since they're practically impossible to get, seems fair enough to me. If it goes at the current amount it'd be less than $200 each and arowanas, which are a dime a dozen comparitively go for more than that.

minchton Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I have four of them and have never seen any sign of aggression except when two fish go for the same piece of food. Other than that they have been very peaceful. The older one is in with electric yellows and zebras the other three are with discus and giant danios. I am wrapped with the price being offered. I dont consider them that rare and I only paid $75 each. His price in my opinion is far too high but as I say just my opinion. Like anything else it is what the market will stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropheus Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 The price for these four are way to high. They where owned by a friend of mine who got rid of them as the bands werent that great. They arent aggressive as people think. If you want aggresive try Tropheus Cherry Spots. Minchton, what species are yours if you dont mind me ashing???

herefishiefishie Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 The good old Burundi 6 bar fronnie goes for $20 each at 3 to 4 cm off a breeder. Retail for $35 to $40... Then again depends on the variant, 7 bar fronnies $90 - $100 retail, sambias $150 retail, (3 to 4 cm) zaire blues, well what ever you are prepaired to pay. These fish are calm, no doubt about it, hard to believe that in the wild they are a pisicivore. 8) Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
