Hey All.

I've got some Red Turquoise discus with some very strong leopard traits coming through that I'd like to sell. The thing is, I have no idea what to ask for them. I got these at 2.5 months old and have raised them with daily 60-90% water changes (usually about 75%). They eat at least five times per day. The two largest ones are are at 4.5". Two medium sized ones are at 4" and the smallest are around 3.5-3.75" When i got these fish I treated them wtih Prazi and Panacur, so they're clear of any chance of internal parasites. I bought these as a group and want to sell them as a group. These aren't my "second-choice" fish; they're the entire group i bought.

I'd prefer someone pick these up--even if it meant getting fifty or so bucks less for them. But if it comes down to it, but i have successfully shipped counter-to-counter air freight before.

what should I ask for them?

this is the other largest one. It's my favorite. Very round and fat. I wish I had a profile of this one to show you. It's even round under its chin.

HI Scott,
Without knowing what the parentage really is on them, I'd say you are left with selling them as Red turqs. You did real well on growing them out... You could probably take a look at some websites for what Red turqs are selling for , but I think you could get between $35-$45..each. Thats conservative.

Hth,

Brew,
Is Right on about the amount! IF ANYONE WANTS THEM YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW THEY ARE RED LEOPARD MALE x RED TURK FEMALE. IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEAL TO BACK CROSS THESE DISCUS TO A LEOPARD OR ANOTHER SPOTTED TYPE LINE TO END UP WITH SOME % OF REALLY GREAT SPOTTED FRY.
HTH
