  • When can you sell fry???

    i have about 30 fry from my Daffodil Brichardi and they are are about a month old or so. No more than 2 months old. When is it ok to seperate them and sell em?
    If it ain't wild caught

    Well, usually you can sell them almost immediately, but it depends on where they will be going....at 2 months, they are still fairly small and could be eaten by larger fish....

    I'd say, hold onto them until they are at least an inch....

    Truth is the cement that holds the bricks and stones of a sane and civilized society together. Remove the former and the latter will crumble.

          Post them bad boyz up for sale. If you got buyers than you got your answer.

            man these guys are so small, they are literally about 1/4". I think i'm gonna wait until they are 1" before i sell em. I'll keep anyone that wants them in mind and will PM those people first. Thanks for the advice.

                I usually wait til my F1 moba fry hit the 1" mark. Less than 1" they are still fragile.........unless the buyer is willing to take the risk of a much smaller fish.
                180g Oceanic w/colony of 8 WC Moba Fronts (1m/7f) purchased from TNT Cichlids in Jan '05 & numerous fry. 1 F1 adult moba male. 2 2217 Eheims, 2 6080 Tunze Streams, WISA airpump, single stage Johnson ETC.....fishkeeping since 1988.

                  If you have room to house them until they reach 1", then do so. Fry are indeed fragile.

                  Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
                  Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
