tempting!!!

 

[chen88]

You know I HATE being one of the first to start with these monster tanks! This is where early bird gets the least!. Now I have no room to get in all these nice stocks that theo and mike brings in!....

 

[Cirrus]

When your rays start producing Chen, you could find your hobby expanding. That would be the time to reconfigure things perhaps (assuming you get the itch )

 

[Aro51]

Come on Chen, get something. We can share shipping.

 

[chen88]

lol...i've got waaay too much fish as it is, thats why i'm selling my tank mates.....besides at those sizes they would not even last a splash in the water!

 

[fishbill]

WOW...another order? I don't want to miss it.

Cirrus, may I ask what is the size of fish would be if interest in Royal Ultimate/Premium?

Thanks.
Jeff

 

[Cirrus]

The lower cost fish came in around 5-6 inches; the higher cost ones (XB's etc.), came in at 7-8 inches.

Hi Cirrus, many thanks for your reply. Would you mind to clarify the meaning of the price range of a fish category? What makes the difference between the high's and low's?

Once again, thanks
Jeffrey

 

[Cirrus]

Poor choice of words on my point since all price is relative; what is high for one person is low for another, and vice versa.

The Emeralds and Golds (RTG's), that came in tended to be a bit smaller than the Gold Cross Backs, 24K and GH. You can see the prices for those fish in the first post in this thread.

I do not know if this difference in size will always be in effect or if it was a one time event; I do know I have been told that the Cross Backs, 24K, BBXB and GH's will all be in the 7 inch range for the coming order.

Hi Cirrus,

Once again, thanks for your reply and your quotation is well understood. I believe my question didn't word correctly.

Let me put it this way, in your quotation

Royal Premium: $2,000 - 3,000. What makes $2,000 fish different than $3,000 one?

I just want to understand before I place the order. By the way, is there anyway that I can get a 10-12 inches fish from Dreamfish by your service?

Thanks again for your patience

Jeffrey

 

[Cirrus]

The price difference between a $2000 and $3000 fish comes down to GH coverage. Thus, a premium 24K, BBXB or Harmony, with no GH coverage can be had for $2000, while an Ultimate 24K or BBXB with 50% coverage will run $3000, 80-90% GH coverage closer to $4000.

There is also the distinction between Premium and Ultimate. My understanding is that the line breeding program at Dreamfish has levels of quality. There are also certain guarantees provided by the farm that the fish sold will turn out as promised.

% GH coverage is the big addition to the price of the fish. The more GH you want, the higher the cost. This is all determined by world (i.e. Asian) demand; my approach to marketing Dreamfish in Canada is to provide customers the Asian going rate for the fish, plus $100 shipping and GST/HST as applicable.

Please keep the questions coming as I am sure many people have the same questions.

It might make sense to get Nicolas Chia, owner of Dreamfish, to come on here and answer any questions; it might also make sense to split this thread and move part of it to the Dreamfish sub-folder.

 

[Cirrus]

I just sent the following email:

Hi Nicolas - I am getting a lot of interest in your fish, and questions.

I think this is where you need to come in and help educate the Canadian consumer about your fish.

I don't want to misrepresent Dreamfish in any way, and it is important there be no confusion regarding your various offerings. Please review the forum thread here and comment as necessary. http://www.arowanaclub.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=4936

I am sure Nicolas will answer your questions and correct any comments I have made if necessary.

 

[King-eL]

Would love to have a merlion emerald gold tail and merlion gold (HB). Need to have vary the aros that swims in my tabk not just the same. Lol!

 

[King-eL]

BTW any chance of getting the merlion emerald redrail 1.25 red (not the 1.5 red).

 

[fishbill]

Hi Cirrus,

Thanks for your explanation of this Dreamfish quotation.

As I am trying to get a dream fish to my tank by a very hard to come-by saving. If the aro turns out not what I am intended to acquire. It will be a very upset ending. This is why I act like a jerk to ask about all the details about it. Hope you can understand.

It is a very good move that you can get the owner of Dreamfish to come onboard to answer all our questions. Thanks

I have read your sticky regarding to the length of fish to ensure the final outcome of the fish when mature. I am willing to take your advice for considering the 10-12 inch fish instead of the smaller size. On the other hand, Dreamfish has a certain guarantee on the outcome of the fish which make me more certain to acquire the aro from this farm.

Anyway, due to the nature uncertainty. I can't afford to bet/gamble on something with a risk. Would like to know if there is a chance to purchase the 10-12 inche fish from Dreamfish through Dragonfish. I believe this is one of the best store that I can rely on after reading numerous positive feedbacks from all buyers in this forum.

Looking forward to the answer
Thanks
Jeffrey
