If Neurergus are so rare why are they so cheap?

What price have you seen them for?

if i bred them i would offer them at a cheap price due to keeping the species going and not for greed i think this is what other people do as well with a few exceptions

They are rare in their native ranges, but commonly bred, at least in small numbers. Like axolotls, but on a smaller scale
There are several breeders of Neurergus, and the offspring are fairly easy to raise. Price depends on how many are bred, not so much on how common/rare the newt is in the wild.
In another thread you asked why it's so hard to find Cynops pyrrhogaster in the US. They are somewhat difficult to raise, and because they are considered "common" very few breeders are interested in working with them.

Also, it's a matter of price perspective. You see that as cheap, whereas my family sees that as expensive
- No one is chatting at the moment.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside:Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation+1

Clareclare:Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?+1
