These are the guys you are going to get $10 each for plus shipping? They look like a $3 fish to me.

Look how yours looked when you first got them:

How your look now:

They still looks like fry to me. Hence they should be sold for a lower price. Just my thoughts.

That's the babies dude. Not the adults

They are not old enough

I'm not selling them YET. They are not old enough.
But once they are, they are definitely a $7+ fish.
My LPS sells them for almost $20.
And online they are usually always over $10.
I just know their starting to size up faster and so I've been focusing my research on how to ship. Better to start now than later

I wasnt saying they are the adults.

I was saying that they arent big enough to sell yet.

As long as you get their size correct on the for sale description, and don't overstate the sizes, you can sell them at any size. Make sure you state the size includes the tail if you measure the fish with the tail.

eg: fish are 3 months old and are 15mm long, which includes the tail.

You said and I quote: "Look how yours looked when you first got them:"
*shows parent gudgeons*
"How your look now:"
*shows the babies*

You basically said that the fry were the adults later in life.
Which is not true...

I was attempting to show how yours looked when you bought them versus the size of the fry now.

Ah ok.
Those guys had to be around 5 months old or more when I got them. My fry are around 3-4 months.
They are pretty slow growers lol.
That's just the way their biology works...

Here is captain Nemo!

This morning there are 3-4 new fry and counting!
