tootie Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi, I have just started breeding various types of cichlids. I am beginning to panic as can see that it's sometimes not that easy to sell of the fry. Do other people find this a problem? Has anyone any tips? Have advertised in classifieds on this forum and another website but no luck so far from either. Cheers, Tootie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people arent buying your fry then you might be asking too much? or theres just no demand for them at the moment Many LFS will also buy fry for a few dollars or for store credit... You wont become rich breeding fish....just do it for the fun of it.... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi Mike, Thanks for the feedback, I presumed I would never get rich selling fish. So yes I'm doing it for fun however I get a bit worried that I'm going to end up with heaps of fish and no where to put them. If I get any more tanks I think my relationship will be over!

Citypainter Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Put free to good home and watch them come running. Or join the Siclid society and sell at the mini auctions. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Or let nature take its course, let the mum spit in the tank and have the strong survive. Plus you get a few free feeds for other fish. What do you have for sale anyways. I have a 3ft that i need to restock. All occupants died today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have electric yellow fry approx 3-5cms for sale. 1 Red Kadango (Male) approx 14cms and I electric blue male (approx 15cms) - beautiful colours and only getting rid of them to make more tank space. If you're interested please let me know. Cheers, Tootie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tootie Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 To be honest, never done the auctions so have to get organised and join the cichlid society and then take it from there. How do kadangos and electric blues sell? Good luck with the firemouth tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
