jeppry Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Ive been looking round at a few different catys lately and i found a beeding pair of peppermints between 8-10cms TL. Now my question is how much would you expect to pay for this breeding pair ??? $50 bucks ??? to $100 bucks ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6C1 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Most likely around $200-$250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Think that would be right $100 ea, Or try so 7/8cm ones that have been selling for $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dempsey Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 100 bucks ea is right for adults. not sure id call 8-10cm an adult, once they get up to 7cm, they spread wide faster than grow long, theyd wanna be closer to 10 for that call. Id be weary about the "breeding" thing at 8cm. Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeppry Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 cheers for the help. the guy wanted 300bucks for the (pair) and by the sounds of it i dont think he has them breeding as i didnt see any fry anywhere.i dont know much about peppermints yet, i only breed common bn atm. i think ill look for some fry n grow them up. cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 You can but they will take a lot longer than common to be able to breed. They go by age ,, then size, seen plenty sold as females at 8cm to be males Sure sign no fry no breeding. What i mean is at 8cm and $40/$50 your saving a bit and should not have long to wait to breed. Seen them breed at 8cm ,, just the age counts.

Moses Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I paid $350 for my pair. Girl is about 12cm and the male is about 14m. Was told they would breed soon and after 2 weeks had a massive clutch of 100+. Worth every cent to me. Others may say they're overpriced but they are now monthly breeders and great parents. Can't ask for more then that. Heard plenty of stories about people getting cheap breeding pep pairs for $150-$200, then they both turn out to be males You get what you pay for I guess.
