Hi Guys,
I have had great help from all of you while I was building my 4foot tall tank.
I love my discus, but I am moving out of my current house after a few months and I think my 4 footer will be too big to move.
I am planning to sell my fish before I move out.
Here are the pics of my fish.
Please make me aware of the price at which these discus would sell.
I have taken a lot of efforts to grow these babies.
I don't want to sell them , but I'm helpless.
Also help me exactly ID these fishes.

Most of them are 5+ inches in size.

Kid,

no idea what people would be willing to pay in your country for those Discus but I think they don't look bad at all and here you could sell them say for about $75.00 to $100.00 each

Where in India are you? Call shiva discus in Thane. Check out his youtube page. See how much he sells his fish for, and base your prices on that. I think paying 5000 Rs for a fish in India would be a very niche market.

Yeah I know ...
But it was totally worth it.
I love my fish so much.
They were so small when I bought them.

I am thinking to put the price at around $100 each. Around INR 5000
That being said, if you were to see these fish for $100 each would you buy them ?
What say ??

I stay in Mumbai.
shivadiscus.com no longer exists .
But I have been to stores around Mumbai and no one sells their big show tank fish in the first place.
If you ask them the price they will never quote any thing less tha $150.

Wow! 7500Rs a fish! That is a lucrative business right there :D
I dont think shiva discus has a website. He just uploaded a bunch of videos last week. http://www.youtube.com/user/ShivadiscusINDIA
Don't know if anything happened in between though.
