Bicolour Angel

i was at my lfs yesterday and seen a bicolour angel priced at 120 pounds it was about 3 inches long is this a fair price

woo hoo I'm gonna start selling marine fish to people in the UK
holly craap that's expensive from my point of view, but no idea how that relates to where you are. We sell bicolor angels for about $45-$60ea in Australia.
You are better off buying small ones coz they settle in better.

$60 is about 30 pounds in english money so i guess 120 is rather expensive might just get a coral beuty instead for 50 pounds

coral beauties sell for about the same price as a bicolor, (maybe a fraction more but only a couple of dollars) here so if you can get a coral beauty for 50p then I wouldn't expect a bicolor to be any more expensive.

 

[thomas10051988]

well maybe my lfs has mislabeled it
and the coral buety is 50 pounds not 50p

 

[Colin_T]

sorry didn't mean 50pence, meant 50pounds but dunno how to write that coz we have dollars down here

those are crazily high prices!!!

bicolours are the cheapest dwarf angels there like £20 quid !!!

coral beautys will rarely cost more then £30

120 pound is far too much for any dwarf angel really, even raritys such as goldens are about £80 and flames £60-70!

£27.50 from Trimar... http/www.tropicalfish.org.uk/marine_stocklists.htm
