I used to live in downstate NY and I had some great LFS that encouraged local breeding. They would by fry with instore credit. It wasn't much but it was something and I think they got a deal of having healthy fish that they know where they came from. I never made a profit but I had extra money for supplies.
I am now in upstate ny and most of places around here will only take them as a donation then they turn around and sell them and make a profit. I am almost offended by there offer. I understand if I was tearing down a tank or wanted to re-home a fish sure donation only. But they will generously take my fish and then sell them for $10-$15 a pop. I'm not talking mollies and guppies here but large cichlids.
Yes I know I can sell them on my own but I want to rant lol thanks for bearing with my tiraid. What is it like for others around the country?
