Price of baby convicts

[TigerBarbs]

I have convict fry that are about 1/4-1/2 inch long. How much can i sell them for? Sorry but im not interested in shipping them.

Do you want to sell them to your LFS? If so, ask if they would make a trade. I wouldn't expect much cons. I personally give mine away.
BTW: Yours are a little too small IMO.

My lfs says tey wont take em... The babies have the stripes and look just like the adults. At how big could i sell them. (im tryin to get some money for a saltwater tank)

$.50 each would be a good start

Whatever you can get for them, they are like the guppies of the cichlid world, lol. Just put them on CL or something and ask a dollar or two each, but as mentioned above you'll want to grow them out more first unless they are sold as feeders.

They're not worth that much, since they're so easy to breed and very common. I'd ask around 25 cents to a dollar for em.

 

[jetajockey]

It depends a lot on the area, some areas don't have an overabundance of them so they can still fetch a decent price, but yeah, for the most part, they are fodder.

Ok i think i will let them grow for a few more weeks and then sell them for a dollar or so. I have like 50 of them and at a dollar a piece thats pretty good.

I just had a batch of cons the LFS will only give me $1.00 a pice for them

Thats not bad though if u hav tons of em and convicts WONT STOP breeding
