You might check with Tolak, he breeds and sells Angels and could probably give you a few ideas.

Another thing you can do is check with your local LFS's and see if they will let you trade some in for store credit, or just see what the going rate is.

The amount you are able to sell them for is going to depend a lot on local availability. If the local market is saturated with the fish, expect very little for them, however, if they are hard to come by , you might be able to make a little off of them.

i doubt stores would offer you a cash handout for your angels. those in my area all go for store credit. a few stores however do go on store commission.

lol good luck with that. i have been in with my lfs many times when the local breeders come in with giant styro foam coolers full of fish. usually angles or cory cats. anywise a couple of times the owner (a good friend of mine) pulls out a calculator and adds it up. i think he gives $1 per cory cat depending on species. and $2 for angels at 50p size.

 

[Tolak]

Adult angels are averaging $5 to $7 around here.

 

[afishdude]

but is that what you sell them to the lfs for or is it what they are selling them for???
i know that my lfs takes them in for around $2 each and sells them for $7-$8 each

 

[Tolak]

My price for lfs & an average auction/swap price for dollar+ body size adults. Shops will sell them for $15-$20.
