Snowflakes for sale?

[Fish n' Frags]

I just found a pair of ORA snowflakes for sale. The female looks great, but the male is not as white. They want $750.00 for the pair. Is this to expensive? If so, does anybody know where i can get a pair for less? I'd be willing to pay up front and have you ship them to me.

Thanks
Matt

The local shops in my area charge 200-225 per snowflake. I would NEVER pay 750 for a pair of them.

Matt - I am on the waiting list and will be selling them when I get them. But, it might be another month or so.

Supply and demand. We bought our pair for $450 plus s/h We bought them to breed and they are acting like there going to so maybe some day we will have some.

supply and demand, plus being a mated pair will add to the price. have they bonded?

call ORA, they sell them...not very often, but they do sell them.

im sure you have an account, or could get one there.

they are much cheaper through them...

they also have the CC which are almost completely white, but they are only at 1" and wont be sold for a while.

Thanks all, not sure what i'm going to do. The two i'm looking at have been a pair for a few months.

Junior, i do have an ORA account but the wait list to get a pair is killing me. I'm so impatient!

how much are the CC's those sound like they'd be pretty.

Last I heard they were going to be ~$400 each.

I was under the impression that the ORAs snowflakes are sterile when shipped...anyone hear anything about this?

 

[Chelsey]

I believe that's just a rumor, I've never heard anything otherwise.

 

[Chelsey]

Dustin Dorton, an employee at ORA, just confirmed that this is indeed a RUMOR. I was a bit worried there for a second

 

[JuniorMC8704]

lol, yeah the expense and effort involved in that process wouldnt be cost effective...

not to mention, breeding two snowflakes doesnt get your 500 snowflakes from what i understand...arent they just freak picasos?

im sure im wrong....but still...

my snowflakes are breeding right now and the male has eaten the eggs twice. Once they get the hang of it I can get you some look at my thread snowflake clowns laying eggs
