David R Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Imports. Could be quite some time before we see locally bred ones in shops here IMO..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ymir Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Bugger, and here I was hoping that they were going to come down in price :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamosfish Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 They will come down. Most breeders will keep their first batch of fry for future breeding. Young 3-4cm fry will be available within the next couple of years for $200 - $300 if not cheaper. If breeders sell direct to stores then the prices will be higher than direct to buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Wasnt there a second batch which was locally bred? Or was that just a rumour.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 i was originally told they were locally bred but it appears that was wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wasnt there a second batch which was locally bred? Or was that just a rumour.. I was told that also :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 If you look at the "Current Individuals Pleco Collections" thread its no secret that they have been locally bred by at least one person, although I don't think any of them ended up in the shops. I would suspect that most people with colonies already have enough people keen on young ones to prevent them being offered to the general public (via shops or trademe/here/etc) for quite some time...
