CPD Cost in your area…

[BallAquatics]

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I though since it’s the first of the year and all, it was time for a re-visit.

I’m in the central Ohio, US region, and CPD’s are not and have not been available at any of the local stores.

I mail ordered my first group a couple of years ago for $6.50 each from Tom & Nevin at AquariumFish.net…

One of my local stores sells VERY small CPDs for £4.25 each, which is quite expensive until you know what they turn into!

[BallAquatics]

Thanks Tom! That’s about what I paid for mine, 4.25 GBP = 6.80349 USD.

Hi Daveyravey! Thanks for the info. At £1.99 thats quite a bit less than stores around Tom.

I’ve seen them called Fireworks Rasbora and Chili Rasbora too!

I haven’t seen many cpd’s for sale for quite a while (1 year plus)

when i bought mine when they were first discovered i paid £4 each and when i last saw them they where the same price or 5 for £18

[BallAquatics]

Thanks for the update chr15_8!

Just purchased a breeding group of CPDs in the Southwest UK.

£5 or 2 for £9 Maidenhead Aquatics (small fish)

£2.25 from a LFS who only had 7 (not standard stock, fully grown and beautiful looking stock)

If I get fry I’ll be selling privately to local keepers if there is any interest.

Here in croatia we have one super store :lol: CPD r 4,71 $ – small but healthy
Other’s stores r much expansive 7,54 $.
But here was some extra breeding activity so we have ‘low cost’ CPD’s now more then ever :lol:

[BallAquatics]

Katch and Dodode, thanks for the updates!

While these guys aren’t terribly hard to spawn, they are a bit tougher to produce in quantity like some of the other Danios.

A LFS, (that I help out with free inverts advice ) just ordered me 6 at $4.00 @. I am in heaven! They gave me a price break.

Picking up 6 more tonight from a friend who purchased them for me from her LFS. These were $6.00@.
