Pegasus Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Don't know why there's all the fuss... you pay for quality, and that was quality alright. You would make that back many times over on the first decent spawn. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radu Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 oh well, don't regret it! I guess we spend our money on things we feel passionate about. I also won the other fish that the same people were selling at a fraction of the retail price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Good on you Radu, your quite right, we do spend our money on things we are passionate about. Good on you for doing it, hope he is happy and well in his/her new home. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all you have to do is find a nice partner for it and hope they do their thing.

Freakyfish Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Gee i wish i could sell Orandas in New Zealand Its always amazing to see the different prices for fish in different countries I know you guys have some of the fish i would love alot cheaper then i can arrange here in Australia Just a comparison on my latest price list Orange Orande at 15cm cost me $23 But i agree they are a beautiful fish Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Freakyfish - Orandas are worth more if they follow certain breeding guidelines. We can buy 15cm orandas for $15 as well, but that was a "special" case. Don't think that kiwis just go all nutty for certain fish and will pay anything for them :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 yeah i spose so lol i can understand that see sometimes we pay ridiculous prices compared to other countries Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
