i have a mixed dumbo mosiac. hes mixed and he was only 2.99usd. but he had the quality of like a 5 dollar fish. i have this female blue moscow maybe turquoise? also this orange fancy.
lfs is a small business, and they said they take in juveniles. honelsty i think my guppies look way better than the ones they have and its not just a plain fancy mutt.
just want to know the average price an lfs would take for 3-10 or so guppies
 
We used to pay 1/3 cash and 1/2 in credit, of the retail price. So if a fish sold for $3.00, we gave $1.00 cash or $1.50 credit. Other stores might do more or less, you will have to ask them. But don't expect more than their retail price because they have to be able to sell the fish and guppies are guppies. They can buy them from anywhere, anytime. So unless yours are super duper fabulous, they will be sold as every day guppies.

Yea I know I’ll be happy for 1 each or even 10 for 1. Yea they’re pretty fabulous to me tho lol. Imma ask for store credit bc they have epic plants there
 
Check with the store first, some might only give credit and some stores only give credit for other fish and may not give credit for plants or other items.

We gave a store credit which meant you could use it for anything in the shop but other shops are different. Most of the shops around here don't even take fish from customers. They claim they don't want any diseases from customer's tanks. I said what if the customer only has fish they bought from your store and nowhere else? I was asked to leave.

Usually just store credits are given for fish. The rate is their wholesale buying price.
