You guys get such cheap fish over there...

Well, i think the price is proportionate to average wage here, i havent checked but if i remember correctly the minimum wage in my city is about $235-$270/month, still cheap but not that cheap lol.

Btw i think super cheap fish have a downside too, just like what i said in the beginning equipment and food price is about the same globally. Example : most people i know rather let their fish die rather than buy a medicine for them, because the fish cost less than $1 and the medicine can cost $2-$3. And most people dont have a test kit, because why buy a $20-$30 test kit if you could buy a new fish if the entire stock died. And i'll be honest, i only have ph, nitrite and ammonia test kit because they're expensive

We have very expensive consumables. For example the cheapest price I have found for the API master kit is 49€ while artemia eggs cost 10euros for 40g

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

Looks like we are being robbed ! But dont really mind if we can get them to live there lifespan we shouldn't have to buy to often

That’s bad an api master kit costs 27-30 British pounds in the U.K. so what 30-35 euro I don’t how the same product can differ so much , I understand varies in fish prices somewhat as by geography alone would make the cost of certain fish more or less expensive ,

The test kit cost around $30 USD pretty much everywhere. I hear it is really expensive to keep fish in the UK.

It's about €45 for master kit test unless I order from Amazon.co.uk.

I’m not sure if it’s expensive as such as I don’t know the comparison to other countries for example I paid £200 for a fx4 and the fx6 was around £270 , what do they cost in the USA Ireland etc ? Also I’m looking to buy a blue phantom pleco which would cost around £50 full size or £25/30 juveniles, is this expensive compared to the USA

What do you mean by “fx4”?

BFP cost anywhere from $50 - $100+. You usually find them for around $60.

I ordered mine from Amazon.com as well. All other places were selling them for $35 - $45, lol.

I upgraded from a 406 to fx4 and cost me £200 I know I could of got one cheaper but wanted to buy new from a well known shop just for security reasons , I just wonder if they are that pricey in other countries
