I used to breed and sell Discus Fish, and you can buy inch discus for
£30

With fish prices, any fish, it depends where you are and if there is a
demand for them.
I notice our friend quoted a price in "English Pounds" as apposed to
American Dollars which the seller is quoting,,
So who know where anyone is located.
But as the seller , he can ask what he likes for his stuff,
As for being overpriced , it depends where you are, In Australia a 2
inch
Discus, regardless of type // colour would fetch $60 -80 each.
Fish of the size our friend is selling are never seen, so any price is
possible. I did see a pair [proven breeding pair]
of 5 inch fish sell once for $600. and there was no shortage of buyers.
But
that was a very long time ago.
As I said it's all about supply and demand, and the seller can always
reduce
his prices, but he can't increase them.

Interesting, the prices showed up in dollars on my machine.

this is dollars $$$, ho9w does it look to you?

Aquabid is one place to get ideas about prices, although getting into
Australia I have heard can be quite dificult.

Firstly , the 2nd half of your post first, Importing fish into Australia, is
virtually imposable, The quarantine requirements are very strict, not to
speak of the costs involved, This is why, we simply don,t have the varity
that you people enjoy. Also wild caught stock is unknown. .
With regard to the money, I do know what a dollar sign is
"possum" I can also recognise a Pound sign, something which does no longer
appears on outr keyboards,,
Better read again "Possum"
