beani Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Saw some red and blue rilis in the LFS the other day. Cute little things. Selling for $15each just wondering if that was a fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza88 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I have seen them for as low as $5 for 1cm juvis i.e. 10 for $50 (here, gumtree). Buying them from a store might be an assurance of better genetics, health .. . . maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beencees Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Price is probably about average for a shop but you will do better here. I know chopper has some for sale atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza88 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 That chopper ad is also $15 a (assume adult) rili shrimp ($75 for 2M&3F) or $60 for a berried shrimp. So maybe the LFS quote in OP is on the money for adult rilis. I was recently quoted $110 for a pair of yellows from a shop. Seems pretty high considering what you can get here etc. I guess buying juviniles is a risk in terms of what quality (colour) and gender you get, though i bought 5 yellows and now have one nicely coloured berried female and 5 chocs (no berried yet, 2 reddish/brown shrimps and 3 solid chocolate) for $60 in total recently. I'll be putting up juvis fs when the colony builds up. Without selective breeding practices i would assume $5-7 a juvi is the going price for these colours. I reckon the shrimp put up by gyung (?) recently look awesome, if i had tank space i would get some of his blue rilis. If i had money to spare i would have got some of his carbon rilis.

dazza88 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 If you can be assured of receiving a male and female to pair and breed then $30/pair is reasonable for any of those shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
