Endler pricing...

[sabrinarichard]

What is the max you guys would pay for some nice endlers ? They sell them at my lfs (same batch for at least 2 months) for 6,99$!!!!!! I find that silly since all other live bearers are much less expensive and are usually easy to breed .. Why are endlers different ? I don't like them that much, if just like to add them for some extra coloration to my guppy breeding.. Are they really worth that much ?

Endlers are prolific breeders

 

[sabrinarichard]

That's what I was thinking.. So why so pricy ?

It usually depends on what class they are. Class N endlers are sometimes a little pricey, as are some of the more elaborate hybrids. http://endlers-usa.com/viewtopic.php?t=73

Your LFS could also be trying to swindle you.

$6.99 each? Unless they are some sort of really nice ones, it seems overpriced to me. At my LFS i can get a trio (1M, 2F) for 5 or 6 dollars.

Yeah.. They arn't that nice lol I'll try and find some more else where thanks for your help!

In Australia you can get good quality ones for 20bucks each

In Australian dollars? What would that be in US $ i wonder, I'll look it up soon

 

[sabrinarichard]

It's about the same currency as in Canada (so about the same as the states).. That's crazy! I'd never pay 20$ for a fish that reproduces every month :/

I got mine for 2 dollars a piece, the normal guppys were 4 though....
