Gold Severum Juvenile -- Please Help!

[raza]

Hello - Ive got about 300 Gold severum Juveniles that are about 2-3month old, and i can not find ANY for sale ANYWERE, this seems rather strange. I will be putting them up for sale soon, but I am confused at what price to do so... Just wondering if anybody could give me a price??? Thanks.

Where are you located? UK or US or other?

Unless you are prepared to mail them, you are going to struggle to move on that many for much money.
Personally, I would trawl around all your LFS and try and move on any that you can for whatever they offer you. There simply isn't that much of a market for big fish like sevs.
As a basic price maybe you could look at something like 50p-£1 a fish at their current size.

If you want to actually sell all 300, then yes. If you only had 20 to sell, then you could get more per fish, as you would not be saturating the market.

Also, they are still very young fish. If you hold on to them and grow them on then you should be able to ask more for each fish.

You would be amazed to see how cheaply fish shops actually buy fish from wholesalers for. If selling to LFS's you will need to compete with that.

Ok then - Thanks for your advice, and I think i will be keeping 100 or so and growing them on.

Where are you based? I would be willing to buy some.

i hope you have room for them to grow properly. growing on 100+ sevs needs a large tank, plenty of food and a lot of clean water.

I've actually got 3 120 litre tanks that they will be kept in, and yes i have plenty food and water also... so THANK YOU for your input, no need to worry.
