breed guppies not discus (less time more money)

I'd try to get close up pics to give people an idea of the quality of the fish you have. At the moment I can't really see how good they are. People may be more willing to make the drive if they can see what you have to offer.

Ben's pics of his blue diamond's is a good example of this, you can get a good idea of the quality from those.

Also pics of the parents can help a lot when selling small fish, people get an idea of how they are likely to turn out.

My 2 cents.

Here some pics of the parents and juvi's.
I will post a pic of another juvi from these fish which is a couple of months older to show what they will look like as close up of the small still dosen't show you anything but there got red eye,perfect stress bars,gills and fins.

They have good colour starting, and a superb shape for such young fish. Brad, you've done a lovely job raising them.

Good luck with the sales.

i love your fish Brad!!! if somebody in QLD, gold coast brissy wants to split shipping ill get some off you.

what you could try is educating your lfs's about discus so they dont think it is to hard to keep them and they can educate their customers properly. i am sure you are aware of this but if you can constantly move lots of fish for a smaller price thats great. the last thing you want is hundreds of fish sitting there and only selling a few with a higher asking price.

Junior
Mate I would love to deliver them to you myself (goldcoast) I wish.
You just can't educate them, they know it all and won't listen.I am aware that I will get stuck with them if the price is to high but it's not my beef it was what some people had offered me for them.
Thanks for 2 cent but it looks like thing are starting move now.
