Fish Keeper Or Fish Swapper

[KkAaNnEe]

Swapper, i like trying new things I do get attached to some of my fish though

I'm def. a keeper. The only fish I've ever given away or swapped were some Molly fry and a certain Blue Gourami female that was terrorizing all the other fish in the tank. I only had her for a week or two but it was still sad to see her go. She was returned to Petco and I bought some Von Rios instead.

If I have fish that pick on other fish I try to remove the instigator to a different tank. So far that's worked out for me.

swapper...i swap the fish along with the aquascapes. Some fish don't suit the different aquascapes.

i couldnt ditch my clown and zebra loaches, but the other fish in the tank are on my swap list should i ever fancy something different.

I keep the fish, but I'd swap some (not for other fish though, but for food or stuff I need or even for free) in case the tank becomes overcrowded. And by the looks of it, quite a number of fry have survived there...

The ones I'd swap would be those that don't have much of a personality / color and have been born recently. The main 7 fish I wouldn't trade for anything.

There are my 5 clowns that I would never part with all have names and 2 yoyos but the rest not attached to so would swap if needed

well i voted fish keeper but im starting to wonder now. live bearers are really boring. the constant fly of fry is also a bit tedious

thinking about getting rid of my mollys, dwindle down my platy number to just a m and female

I'm most certainly a swapper! Iv a few that iv had for the long hall and will see out their days in my tank, but constantly on the look out for a we switcheroo

Mostly a keeper but when I had too many fish due to fish having babies then I would trade or give them to friends. When some of my fish grew big after several years I would give them to a friend that had a fish pond so they would have as better life. That was not easy but was best for them.

Sorry about that- I am new to forums. Will try harder to watch the date.

I'm a keeper and a seller. I have several fish in my 60g display tank that will be there until they (or I) die. I'm also colony breeding, growing out, and selling red and pineapple swordtails. I've sold about 200~ and am growing out another 200~. When the 'herd' thins, I may breed fancy guppies.

I’m a keeper, I love all the different little personalities my little fin babies have!!

P.S didn’t even look at the day, hence why I’m answering after 7 years

No need to apologise, I think it’s a good post to start back up
