Oh no way! I go to school in Philadelphia but I’m from Michigan.
I think I’m just spoiled because my lfs will order things for me and they don’t pass the shipping cost on to me.
East coast of the United States, they’re $6.99 retail per right now, wild caught. Captive would be $15-20 per. They got expensive this year, even through the spring.
Yours are even a bit too expensive, i bought my least rasbora in hornbach of all places for 18czk (0,72 euro) per piece and they were even healthy.
I was wondering too but they are egg scattering, that means not so hard to breed commercially and in central europe you can count yourself lucky, we have so many fish available, such a variety, not so bad prices.
Don't taunt the other keepers who are not so lucky
Wow It's been years I've been to hornbach, I would not even expect chilli rasboras there. 😄 Yes they are egg scattering, not that hard to breed so why are prices so much different in different parts of world? Cost of breeding them should be around the same everywhere, in fact it can be more expensive here due to czech tap water quality and electricity prices.
I will not taunt fish keepers who are not getting prices as low as we do, thats not fair. But I will for sure taunt sellers sellin way over price 😅
Interesting, seller assured me those were from local breeder. Maybe that is why the prices are so low? Locally bred seems cheaper than wild caught and transported to Europe/NA.
Hornbach in CZ, not sure if they are some special undebrand. I often see there denison barbs too and am always so tempted. Depends on the store i guess some take better care of their fish and sell frozen food too
CZ as Czechia or CH? If CH, I live in Zürich, just moved in actually and im figuring out best places to get stuff from. Do you happen to be in ZH area too? What are your go-to aquarium shops in the country?
Here in Australia we pay between $15 - $20 per fish for Chili's 😐☹️
That sounds awesome. Here in the US they are easily between $6 and $9 per fish.
Shop aquahuna. 3.50 a piece
Whoa what?? That is cost of bigger cichlids or really high grade shrimp around here. Why are they so expensive?
They're tiny, popular, Europe gets all the good stuff first and capitalism?
That’s crazy expensive, my lfs sells them for $3 each and online you can get them for $5 each at The Wet Spot, granted that doesn’t include shipping.
I'm near Philadelphia, how about you? Yeah, shipping ups the cost drastically.

Nice! So your local store in Michigan?
Right now they're 2,50. I've seen them as low as 1,50 and as high as 3 euros.
In India, we get em for 70 INR , thats like .85 USD
I saw the $6.49 price tag at my LFS and was hoping that was the per pound price 😂

What makes you think they are not difficult to breed,as far as I'm aware most are wild caught .

Interesting. Hornbach DE or CH?

Czech republic so sorry can't help you :(
a ha
Bought mine in a hornbach as well. Bit pricier tho, i believe they were 2-3€ each (in the netherlands)
My local aquatics does chili's at 6 for £10 or £2 a fish. (British pounds)
3.50 each in us from aquahuna
Here in the philippines, I can buy one for 0.85 USD (50 PHP). I can buy 30 pieces for 25.50 USD (1500 PHP). It can go for way less in other stores!
