Default Breeding...and then what?

Hiya

I'm interested in what people do once they have bred their fish! Do some
people supply shops? If so, I presume they pay you and it is worthwhile
breeding them? I hope this isn't a daft question but how do u post fish!? Or
do u simply not post them and hand deliver only. I'm curious as to what
people do with their fish. I want to try something new, and as i've been
running aquariums for a while now, I have often thought about breeding, but
I'm not sure what to do with the fish if they breed!

Wpuld be greatful if anyone could shine a light on my query or can suggest
anything!

Thanks

Not to worry. Unless you are equipped with many tanks, there's a good
chance you may only have a few that survive to decent size. If and when
that happens, your LPS will usually take them for a store credt you can use
for food and such.

I tried to sell them off on AquaBid with no damn luck. I was not into
shipping the fish and no one wantted to pick them up, even if people bought
them at the price I had them on the site for I was losing money. Not cheap
to feed not cheap to heat and not cheap for water.. Needless to say I have
a local fellow that is intresated in taking a 145 different sized cichlids
of my hands for about 75 cents each. There are some very nice fish in the
lot and even includes 2 trios of breeders and one very nice Red Top Blue. I
don't have the room for them and I am moving. I used to take store credit,
but I have so much built up and their is nothing left in the store that has
any intrest to me.. Needless to say there has been a batch of babies here
and there that stayed in the community tanks. Cheap food I guess...
