Angel Fish..

question for angel fish users, which is the most popular Angel fish or which one is the most sold?

im planning on breeding those to expand my selling...

When I was breeding I got the most requests for golds, but I had some stunning silvers, with a very strong wild-type appearance, and those got a lot of attention too from people who are wanting to get back to a more natural appearance.

In general, the most dramatic solids and color morphs are going to be more popular, though, for sure.

Yeah thats nice, i was looking on the Gold Veil Angels, they seem pretty nice and also the Silver ones..

Now your cooking with hot grease, a very popular and sought after angel is the Koi angel, beware of fish with hormones and food coloring they fade rather quickly Ill keep my eye out for you if I see something good, remember what I said, garbage in, garbage out be patient my young apprentice, LOL,

Yes those look very good also, any ideas where to get those? i will get a lot of information first before choosing the right mated pair..

You have two options, you can buy a batch of 6 to 8 young ones, raise them and then you and your family can choose the best ones after they pair up and get wigglers (thank fern for that piece of info) then you can separate them and repeat the process and get a second pair and sell the rest, and get your money back, or you can buy a already proven pair but they are up there in price, like I told you in the meeting I quit on a auction at a 114.00 bucks on a pair, I think the first Idea is the better one they grow pretty quick, but thats up to you, dont forget you sales lady shes is going to be your Ace in the hole....

Pearl scale angels are nice looking in my opinion, but I don't know much about angels......
And like I said boardroom has a few nice young ones in right now.

years ago when I had some, I had a silver (as in solid silver, no other color), 2 black marbled ones, a geen colored one (I have never seen another one like it), 2 gold marbles and one koi. I really loved the colors they all had.

I so miss them, and have been thinking of keeping angels again. Just alot of the ones I like people want to much $$.

No, but he discribes one side of me great!

Iama have to say pure black ones.... I seen those sell the fastest in Dallas area.... not sure about over there but here, any Dark ones are VERY popular...

stay away from the smokey angels they do not sell very fast ....platinum pearlscales do well, 1/2 black and full blacks do real well...silvers are hit and miss..I do not see many koi around here but when they show up they usually move...gold marbels usually do well...the blue phantoms...pinoy blues ect. unless you are selling to angel breeder market they are pricey and do not move well

best selling angels are the blue plats, then the koi, blacks, then half blacks. then if you want really pricie ones, altoms, i got some of them all. nice but if i were you id just start with the silver. they are more hardy then most. and if you need help with youtank set up ill give you what i have found over the years. just let me know what you need to know.

Zebra Lace Veil Angels sell good because you don't see them alot and they have good color. If you only raise one color you will flood the market. If you raise more than one color you will do the same. You will need to find a market for your offspring. Wholesalers will be interested but will want a regular supply.

I find blacks don't sell in Richmond but half blacks sell very well.

Thanks el rollo, scott and vixen, i will take your advice..., im still researching to get the right angel specie for me.., Jill talked to me about the pearlscale also they sell it at my LFS, and i really like the gold veil angels..
