trading/selling - Aquarium Advice

Big Ben · 08-31-2006, 06:31 PM

I was just wondering if anyone sells or trades the fish they breed, if so to who and how? I have 50+ convict fry that i thought i could raise and do something with and I don't know what to do with them before they get too big to care for. They're 1/2-3/4 inch right now.

Unfortunately convict fry are extremely common. So, you probably won't find a LFS that will buy them, or trade for them. You could donate them.

Personally, I use them to feed to my other cichlids. Yumm yumm!

I moved your thread here Big Ben. This is where members trade in all kinds of goods. Post the fish you have and you may get some feedback.

Well, Kribensis fry are pretty common too, but my LFS gave me $30 store credit for 10 fry and some small Echinodorus ozelot plants.

Well i got tons of convict fry. at least 40 im guessing, mostly all 1/2 inch but they're starting to grow rapidly. If any one wants to trade somethin for em let me know. I have no idea how to send them or how they could survive being sent actually, so if ur interested im gonna need some directions. I'm really open to anything, I don't expect very much for them. They were bread from a pink female convict and a regular male convict. If u inbred them which might not be a good idea, im sure you could get some pink convicts, although maybe not healthy ones.
