what do you think these are worth?

[chris&barb]

we started breeding a. polymnus a few months ago and have babies that are just about ready to go. we have no idea what a fair price for them is.

from all the research we have done it seems that we are the only people to have successfully done this,should this play into the price?

heres a photo of them, common name is saddleback clown, brown variant

I looked on line and the only site I saw showed them at 19.99, didn't look as nice as yours.

Here is the site for your reference: http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_1...ategory=4&category_search=61&root_parent_id=4

thanks for the link. i know that the wild ones go for about $15 to $20 but these are homegrown

just trying to figure out what a fair price is for a species that is rarely aquacultured

They are really nice, love the carpet anem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck selling them.

ORA captively breeds these and supplies them to petstores... I think in stores they sell for 19.99 retail.

Here in st. louis your looking at $20 for wild cought and $29 for captive.

thanks for the suggestions. ive been looking on-line for 2 or 3 months and have never seen these for sale listed as captive breed. i know ORA says they do it but where are they?

i think $25 is a good starting point

I doubt many private individuals have done it, you're correct.

Are you asking where they're located? They're in Florida... From their site"The ORA hatchery complex is located at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI) in Ft. Pierce, Florida."

 

[chris&barb]

no, i was asking where are the polymnus they are breeding

I'm still confused.. Do you mean that you haven't seen any? I have 12 coming to my store next week.
