Is that really your dad?

Ha Ha, you've let the cat out of the bag Cathy.

I was looking at the Kribs earlier, they came out in the open with the fry, at first I thought there must be around 30+ but wow! There must be without exaggeration around 70 possibly a few more, they were in a swarm.

I just think it's cool if you are that you share a love of the hobby. My own daughter is starting to take an interest and it pleases me.

I love a swarm of fry. It's one of the coolest things in the world to see.

Please post a photo for us!

Thanks! I'm strictly amateur but I like to make them and talk about the critters.

I called in a fish shop today to get some stuff and while I was in there I asked if they bought fry, the young lady asked what I had and I told her about the Kribs, she said when they get to around an inch in size give them a call, she said we normally give a credit note in exchange.
Well that is good, I wasn't looking for a fortune but a couple of other shops I once asked don't give you anything, not even a tub of fish food.

I noticed while I was in there they had a stock of baby Cichlids but I didn't know what they were, there was around 50 of them in a tank all around an inch in size, pale grey in colour and some seemed to have a few dark perpendicular stripes, any way they were £5
Then saw some dark Blue ones in another tank, these were around 3/4 inch they were £6 each, I liked them but got no room.

If you could get enough out of them to support the hobby that would be great. I know a few reefkeepers who sell coral frags and make enough to keep the tank going.

 

[ColR1948]

Ha Ha yes, we didn't discuss price yet as it is early stages, without knowing the price I doubt it would be that much to keep the tank going. I could probably get more selling private but with the amount of fry it would take a while to get enough buyers plus I haven't really got the room for them, so if the shop has them they would be doing me a favour.
I'm going to ask at another shop I heard MIGHT have them for a credit note so I'll see what they say as well.

 

[Chad]

I actually love getting store credit. I want to use it at the store anyway and if it's in credit my wife can't spend it on bills!

 

[bikerfish]

Hi it would be great if you can get a credit note as there is always something needed for the tank or fishes .
Does shoes and handbags come under paying the bills , not that I would ever do that

[ColR1948]

Ha Ha, I'm OK for shoes but I must admit I haven't any handbags so I'll ask next time I'm in there... or may be I won't they might not serve me anymore lol.

When you're on a bike it's called a satchel not a handbag.
