Ok I have faxed Ausyfish 3 times now about buying 500 jade perch and still no response?. Does anyone know of a good jade perch supplier that is reliable?

(I apologize for this post they have been away for a week)


AP

i usually email, but thats still no excuse

AP, I have never purchased from these ppl so don't know of the reliability factor but you could try:

Let me know what you find AP - I may be up for a purchase soon myself.

I assume SEQ have none - or are they just too small?

Paul seq fish are 20mm - 40mm

AP

Despite their website saying they don't sell fish under 50mm.

WE E-mailed Ausyfish a couple of days ago too, still waiting for response

Axl, didn't you have difficulties at the end of last year in getting supplied???

Alan from Ausyfish called today. He has been away for a week. Sorry I was a bit impatiant with them at to start of this post. I have orded 500 Jade perch. 75c ea + gst and about $50.00 dollars for delivery. 40-50mm size, ready in about 2-3 weeks.

Yeah we got a call from them today too! so we will get more jades in a few weeks, to make up for the ones we are eating tomorrow!!!

For those who are interested, Ausyfish has Jade Perch ready for transport now.

These guys have been mentionned before. Fairly handy location - but prices are not really competitive with many others here in SEQ.

In fairness, they are retail prices and cheap for retail pricing. The price breaks on 50/100 are reasonable. We get spoilt a bit with most of us being able to buy small fish quantities at effectively wholesale pricing. My guess is they are buying fingerlings same as us and just growing some on whilst trying to move most of what they buy asap.

Tis not a matter of being fair TT. I am merely stating a fact. $1 is the most we have to pay in South East Queensland and some get their fish for 50 cents in just quantities of 100 (or did you pay 80c Les?).

I do not think this mob is a ripoff merchant or anything, the prices a reasonable compared to some, but just not as low as you can get here. Of course the quality of the fish may be outstanding and size superior, thereby warranting the extra cost. Also, nor point spendign 20 bucks on petrol to save 15 - so also depends on where you live heh :-)
