Uk Pricing Hikes

[Gill]

Has any one else noticed the price of fish has shot up in some lFS'.

A5 which is a good 25-30 Mins drive from me:

Clown Killies From 1.25 to 5.95 each
Threadfin Rainbows from 2.25 to 5.50 ech then down to 2.95 each.
Jelly Bean Parrots from 4.50 each to 12.50 each

I can't say i've noticed a change recently, but it could have something to do with the increased cost of shipping, or perhaps the insurance has gone up?

not noticed any change myself and hopefully it will stay as it is here

You will find smaller shops will be hit by import charges but larger shops can absorb the increase to keep the business and keep afloat.

just strange hikes out of town, while cov prices have remained steady. a few cov LFS's have maybe upped by 10p on some fishes but not the ridiculous hikes that A5 are doing.

None of our prices have changed at all

Maybe A5 thought they could get away with the rise lol

Not noticed any changes here! Alough they are a lot more expensive than they were 5 years ago.

prices are increasing from when I worked at the LFS in leeds 4 yrs ago..

I always compare what I class as staple fish - kuhli loach, cherry barbs, peppered cories ... all gone up. look at the more common cichlids too:

keyholes, kribs etc... wholesale increases..

barring inflation I reckon a lot of places hiked them...

:?

I've seen prices rise about a dollar. Guppies and cories especially.
