Tilapia pricing

[Jim S.]

A local grower is selling some Blue Nile Tilapia which are currently between 7 to 9 inches long.

I'm a bit new and wondering what would be a fair price for them.

I was looking to get about 5 to 10 of them for a 240 gallon tank and get more after seeing how well they do. The water temp stays mostly around 73F.

We settled on $6 per fish.

That sounds like a good price to me!  At least, it's not a lot of cash investment for a nice group of breeders.  Kudos!
