Breeding to sell - Page 2

Sometimes LFS will buy from locals- but the chain stores definitely don't. You have to be committed to raising them to a saleable size. For my local store, that means the kribs are breeding size before I sell.

you definately have to talk to the lfs. mine will take fish for free or sometimes store credit, but they won't actually give you cold, hard cash unless you can either guarantee that you'll give them 200 or more or unless you regularly give them rare/well-bred fish for a pretty long time without the fish causing the store any trouble.

Find a local aquarium club - they usually have auctions and want ads where you can sell your fish. You might try selling fish on Aquabid.com, altho shipping does make it more complicated. Maybe post a notice at a local pet shop if they will let you.

Java moss would be a good seller at stores, I would think - at least it is hard to find and relatively expensive when you can get it.

Take a look at this fishroom... http://www.carboplus.nl/hans/shopuk.htm
Discus Hans, the guy that built it, says he only imports his Discus because it isn't economical enough to breed them himself.
