From what I read on FB it was a 15% increase for juvenile discus and 100% increase for adults.

So we're talking $500.00 for a large adult???

Really not a problem... They'll only charge the increase if you're willing to pay it.

Supply and demand can be your best friend or your worst enemy!!

So what is the reason for the big jump?

[Stefanusgo]

When people stop buying, the price starts dropping.

@Mark;
That would be a question only Hans can truly answer, all other opinions are, well, just that, opinions lol

There's a message from Stendker stating the basics. Hatchery costs have gone up so the fish are as well. I don't know about the electricity prices in Germany, but mine have increased to the point of ridiculousness even though I've invested a ton of money in the highest efficiency everything.

Kenny, Dennis, Chicago, etc could sell a fish to you. Or buy and sell among yourselves. I think that Al Castro? had some interesting F1 wilds for sale.

I believe it may be to do with the import and export charges as well - at least two goldfish importers have closed down stating that they simply couldn't keep up with recently increased costs for import. Slightly different scenario than sending to USA from Germany, however I wonder if this is the case too.
I am thinking of buying from Hans - guess I had better do so pretty soon!!

Since Stendker is a wholesale provider of discus they do not pay shipping costs I think. The buyer would pay these costs.

Germany's having a hard time & I think there into inversion & there banging all busness to make up for the short fall.

[peewee1]

Why would one not begin breeding them locally, outside of Deutschland?

Sounds to me like there will be a better market for Asian discus in the near future, unless their prices increase too.
