Selling Fry

[MOW4T]

dunno if this is the correct section or not but here goes

as titled i have bn fry approx 0.5" born 11/12/09 (december for all you americans) and i currently have another batch of eggs.

question is, what size are they ok to sell at and how much should i be charging each?
i was thinking 50p - £1, not looking to make a profit as such (although every little helps these days) more to free up some tank space for the next batch

i bought an L100 bristlenose pleco from a breeder near me, i bought it for $3 CAN, and it is about 1.5 inches long max, probably 1.25 inches.

these babies go for 1 euro where i live. i would imagine LFS doesnt pay more than 30 cents tops. they are adorable, but the crap they produce is unbearable. i have 25 fishes, yet the BN easily makes up for over half of the visible feces in tank. just need to find an unsuspecting victim willing to take it.

the ones witch got throw despite oyu having the filer covered with Tights Are what we call

"Little Tropical Nemos"

The story behide thme is

"Swim Up the pipe Clog the filter. During water change hopefully not get eaten and sent to another home when were grown up"

If you was alot closer i would snaop 1 off you straight away.

Ask around at lfs, mine were not much bigger than that when i sold them,had around 100,sold them to local shop for 80pounds..work well for the both of us

 

[mr130gallon]
