[Ogrodii]

How much did you guys tropheus or petro set up run tank and equipment.

My Trophes160g full set up was about 1200$

Price depends on a lot of variables.

Yeah it does but I'm wondering what average set up cost

Price depends on a lot of variables.

+1

Things to consider:
Tank size
Size of filters
How many filters
Type of lights
How long lights are on
Type of heater
Species of troph/petro
Size troph/petro
How many troph/petro
Type of decor
Type of sand
Brand of powerhead
How many water changes
How large of a water change
Type of food
How much food

And the list goes on. You kind of get the idea. I'm sure you ran more than $1200 for your trophs if you include water bill and electric bill.

This too. There was too much stuff to list so I stopped at what I had listed.

+1 I think any fishkeeper of any species of fish tries not to think about how much money they've tossed in the pit.

True but most will try to recoup some of that money by selling offspring

If the variety that is being kept is profitable... some seem to be sitting on troph fry longer than normal lately.

I guess as long as it brings big enjoyment and you love what you do is what counts at the end of it all$$$$
