Title: Kribs
Post by: Mugwump on March 13, 2013, 07:39:27 PM
I know there are varieties of Kribensis, but what would non rare type fry generally sell for....??..
I can't seem to find a price on the web, and aqua bid listings aren't helpful....

I know here with my garden variety F1's I have I cant give them away. I have had several spawns and now have adults that are forming pairs and now no one wants them either. That last batch of fry I donated to a store.   I know that not any help but that has been my experience.

I've read that too from other folks. .....but if colorful, they might sell for 5-6 per bag for $10...???

I had a wild pair from West Africa from New World Imports that were really rare a while back. There's like 40 types. These were pretty too, lots of purples in them. They spawned a bunch of times. No one knew what they were and I could not get more than $5 for a bag of 10 adult fish. I paid around $120 for the wild pair too. For some reason Kribs just don't bring in much no matter what they are. Sort of stopped messing with them after that.
