What Size To Sell Metallic (electric) Blue Rams At?

[Ghipsi]

I have a batch of Metallic (Electric) Blue Rams that are about 3/4 inch size now, what size or age should they be to sell them?

Piccy of the parents from when I first got them (they have matured a bit now)

Thanks, lisa.

It depends. Are you selling them personally, or are you selling them to a local pet store? Normally pet stores won't take fish in that are under an 1" in size.

Good question, I have a store waiting, but I prefer to sell most of them privately so that I can offer them at a reasonable price, are they too small to post?
Or I could offer pick up only until they are bigger but are they ok to sell now? they are 7 weeks, maybe I should wait a week but they are colouring up nicely & eat anything.
Thanks, Lisa.

actually smaller fish ship a whole lot better than large fish

If you are selling privately then it is up to you I guess and up to your buyers (what size they are willing to purchase at and price.) I guess you could always work out a theorem to find out at what size you would make the most profit (have to consider the cost of food, w/c, meds/dechlor and the price your selling) if you really wanted to know the best time to sell and make a small profit.
