Over production

[Fishkeeper88]

So every month I have about 15 pounds of plants that my tanks produce. I want to know what I can do with these and how I can do it.

I also have about 10 mature Peppered Cory Catfish (Corydoras paleatus) that spawn every water change. so I have about 4-5 generations and about 2-5 survivors a spawn...

What should I do about all this? If anything do people here want these reproductions for free? and how can I accomplish this?

 

[DragonGirl]

You can send me the plants...

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I want the plants too!

 

[Fishkeeper88]

yes but how do I do that?

 

[brennae]

I would love to have the fish!
To ship plants put them in wet paper towel and place in plastic bags then role in newspaper and put in a priority mail box. Usually people giving things away for free at least charge shipping. As for the fish, I've never shipped fish I live close to Chicago and I see you are in Illinois, are you close to Chicago?

 

[Fishkeeper88]

I am near St. Louis

 

[Fishkeeper88]

if I get enough people to be interested in shipping only prices... I could provide a free crop here in the forum for plants and corys... would that be appropriate?

 

[Jds1202]

What type of plants?

 

[Mebbid]

Yeah, people will happily take plants off of your hands for free. As for the cory cats you could try to find a lfs and trade them in for credit or maybe even money. I have 2 LFS near me that I sell stuff to.

I'd LOVE plants, as I'm setting up my first planted tank next week.

 

[Mebbid]

What plants are you having grow out of control?

 

[brennae]

If you do end up listing do a RAOK under the classified section. (Random Act Of Kindness)

 

[Fishkeeper88]

SEE planted tanks SEE something you should see... that is my 55 gallon planted tank.. the two big plant bunches in the back and also Java fern and chain swords.....

 

[Fishkeeper88]

in about a week I will trim those big unidentified bunches and will have about the amount show in the photo maybe more as I trim 50 percent off once it fills the tank weekly....
