Highest Margin Species
Plakat bettas with strong form can sell for $10 to $50 each. Females bring half that.
Flowerhorn grade A juveniles fetch $30 to $150 locally with export potential at higher prices.
Rare apistogramma species (macmasteri red, elizabethae) sell for $25 to $80 per pair.
Mid-Range Margin
Quality fancy guppies (half-black lace, albino full red) sell for $3 to $8 per pair.
Corydoras sterbai and panda commercially farm-heavy but still profitable at $2 to $4.
Competitive or Losing Species
Mass-market livebearers (feeder guppies, common mollies) cannot compete with farm imports.
Goldfish commons and comets — farms produce thousands cheaper than you ever will.
Local Shop Wholesale Prices
Shops typically pay 30 to 50% of their retail price. A guppy retailing for $3 pays the breeder $1 to $1.50.
Build reputation with clean, well-colored stock and shops will pre-order your spawns.
