Cichlid Prices?

[fluvial]

I bought my Apisto's from an LFS in Cornwall, and with the courier fees paid
nearly £30 for the pair.

But it was a very good service - they arived safely and have since grown out
into a lovely pair of fish.

So, yes it was expensive, but they have a good stock on line with a proven record in
posting them on to the buyer - in the long run I think that it was well worth the money.

Interesting thread...

My one inch Oscar was £4.99 recently in one LFS (the better one). There was a bigger one at 3" for £8.99 in Seapets. Poor thing.

My GT was about a fiver from the better LFS when she was under an inch big, though they missold her to me as a Blue Acara.

FM are around a fiver as well, in fact most cichlids around here are about a fiver, except for larger Angels and Discus.

My cheapest cichlid was my Keyhole, at 75p from Pets@Home

My L075 plec was the most expensive fish I've bought at £20/25 from Swallow Aquatics.

I buy my fish as babies if I can as I like to watch them grow up

Thats mad

My LFS sells RTC and the TS hybrids for around £18 (under 1ft)

Oscars usually around £4 for Juvis, £8 for wild Juvis and £15 for any over 6" (or sometimes free)
