When to Sell?

[Smcoyle87]

So I have a brood of Kribs. They are about 3 months old now, the biggest male is just over an inch long, the rest have some catching up to do. My question is, when can I try and sell them to lfs? There are a couple around me that said they would buy them from me. It looks like the parents are getting ready to spawn again soon and i dont have enough tanks to just keep all these fish! lol

When is a good length or age to sell them? Thanks for any advice!

I have sold them 3/4 inch and up. For the same reason, not enough room. Pet store here gave me $4 each store credit.

ok cool thanks, I just didn't know if there was a general rule of thumb for this kind of thing. this is my first time breeding cichlids. Im actually breeding apisto' Caca's right now as well so any advice is doubly important! haha

Give much for them. Is ur last name Coyle? Mine is, just wondering its not a common name.

My lfs wouldn't take my krib fry until they hit 5 months.

Generally 1" is the minimum size for fry, best to check with the folks who will buy them though.
