A survey..kinda?

[BoomerXIV]

So i've watched some of aquarium co-op videos before and i noticed how big is the difference between fish price between US and Indonesia.

So im curious how big is the difference between another country, or maybe between states. Since some of the fish have a very wide range of prices, i'll only including some of the most common fish in the hobby, and to make it clear i'll use US Dollars for comparison.

I'll go first :
1. Neon tetra, usually about Rp 2000 ($0.13) each.
2. Zebra danios, about Rp 1000 - Rp 2000 ($0.067 - $0.13)
3. Angelfish (juvenile), about Rp 5000 ($0.33)
4. Otocinclus, about Rp 30.000 - Rp 40.000 ($2.00-$2.67)
5. Oscar (juvenile) Rp 25.000 ($1.67)

As for fish food or equipment, they're usually imported and probably have the same price globally (except for local fish food or some equipment from China, they're really cheap).

I think the Irish prices are a bit of a rip off

Agreed, even up here, seems like you're paying to import them twice.

Wow, the differences between asia and europe or US is reaally huge, i mean with $3 you could buy like 40 danios here.

But then again, our country have different income per capita, so i guess $3 is considered cheap?
