How to price loaches ?

I know as they put on some size they get some price to them.

I am debating selling mine inhave some as small as 3 inches all the way up to near 7.

School I think is at 12 loaches or so. Most between 4 and 5 inches I belive hard to get an accurate count as they rarely are all out togeather and when they are its a ball of chaos devouring blood worms or brine shrimp.

My terribly un-scientific method is to take recent prices from Aquabid and commercial vendors such as Wetspot, work out a happy medium, and adjust depending on the amount of "effort" I've invested in raising the fish.

But then again, I mostly sell cheap(ish), smaller fish that grow quickly and rarely top out at over 3".

Not a member I picked up 1, but then found my astronotus crassipinis, being dirty fish I think itld be best to sell the loaches and focus on the crassipinis.

Hopefully in a year or 2 I'll have some f1 juvies for sale

For the right price anything is for sale lol. I'm just trying to figure out what to price them at, but I do plan on selling them and maybe doing a small group of geos to clean up after the oscars

Between 11 and 14 lol I don't know I've just been adopting them over the last couple years or snatching up medium sized ones when I see them for sale...

Smallest is likely 3.5 largest is closer to 7 most are 4 to 5 I think hard to tell, when they are all out at once they are a rolling ball of chaos.

I would def be interested in the smaller 4.5 and under. I know once you get around 5 inches they start getting expensive.

Was hoping to move the whole group at once, asking around in some other places I keep hearing 600 is a solid mark for the group but that seems high to me, I was thinking maybe 500.

I'll get some pictures when I get back from Maine next week.

I'll have a few fish posted for sale then.

The clowns, couple pink tail chels, school of adult african longfin tetras with some size to em. Maybe a couple other things.

Sounds good. I think you will get sales for the large singles by themselves. Some only want 6 inch and up . Plus 5-600 is pretty heavy. We’ll see. I will be around when you post.

Sounds good, I'm just trying to stress the tank as few times as possible, takes 2 days after gravle vacs for the oscars to trust me again as is lol.
