I’ve been “Breeding for Profit” for 4 years now and I’ve only made one sale 😅.. my problem is falling in love with my babies and the plants 😂

@lemonlizard1 Ай бұрын

hahah, yeah exactly! It does get easier with time though

@lruddy8820 27 күн бұрын

It becomes easier to sell the fish when you dont have room for all the babies as they grow but there is always room for plants, i have plants in bowls of water that started as trimming i was going to propagate and sell but…ykno

The most real thing I’ve seen today out of my 5 years with guppies I only sold like 2 pairs of guppies but have sold some cherry shrimp that’s it lol 😂

9:55 i am so encouraged by all of this. the most solid advice ever. i've heard bits of this from other people BUT. the details on the report with them and to see selling for credit as a stepping stone towards just straight up sales.... GOLD.

Nick , I have watched and listened to dean for several years, and I've been watching you for quite a while too. since you looked like a kid! but I'd like to say I value your opinion and advice on breeding fish every bit as much as I do Deans ! for a young man you are extremely knowledgeable and are very successful in the fish business .

@IvansGuppies Ай бұрын

Great videos with Dean, Nick! I have the same thoughts with guppies. They passively produce and if you have just 30 females that you regularly separate (or basket), you’d get fry everyday every month. Steady and reliable producers.

One good way is to ask your lfs what they want. I have couple of breeds that my lfs said that they buy from me if I get them to breed.

I've been selling sword tails I bred since I haven't set up a propper breeding setup I just put the babies in a 50L tank so they took 5 months to get to the right size I had 2 spawns in there and it totaled to 60 fish

Yes, I can imagine it easily. My original career track was marine biology but also deeply interested in herpetology, avian biology, botany, landscaping… basically all aspects of husbandry/maintenance of many/most “exotic” living organisms at home. I believe it’s important to find a partner with (at least) similar interests. If not you may start resenting each other, I’ve seen it happen to my brother… several times.

Its my long term goal to be able to breed for profit, im in no rush i would like it to be a secondsry source if income as i get older since i have a physically demanding job, im getting to a point now where im breeding for sales not so much profit just yet, i have 4 projects i want to focus on and for two of them i have been able to breed my store bought fish a few times and get a decently sized group of healthy and pretty breeders i am just now growing out (one are corys and wont be ready for a few months) and when they are old enough start breeding them and selling the babies when they are old enough

@RandySoWavvy 29 күн бұрын

I have guppies in a 40g and they breed like crazy and a lot of my babies make it to adulthood thanks to a heavily planted tank. I noticed a lot of the fish stores in my area seem to get bad batches of guppies more often than not. I really want to get into parrot fishes and clowns so if I can use the guppies to fund those 2 projects that’d be a win.

@MariusDarkheart 29 күн бұрын

I trade in my fish to a local garden centre. At first I felt ripped off. Now I get a better deal with the owner. Shops are taking a risk as the need to know your fish are healthy as it can damage their reputation if your fish aren't good quality. I always ask how many of my fish died, do they have any left. Build up a good rappor.

I wish i had a bigger market here in my country (Philippines) the best i can sell here is like every other 3 months. and i have to be careful not to saturate the market. also like dean i prefer to sell wholesale not retail. It just does not make sense to have people come over buy fish there and compete with local fish shops. I prefer to support them.

@Adnancorner Ай бұрын

Guppies, Mollies, Platty's and Angel and other cichlids all are perfect beginer if you know the basic parameters when you are breeding them.

Hope I can get advice here . In my bedroom I have a 2ftx2ft dead space . I built the stand thinking of going with a Innovative marine 25 lagoon . Can a group of corydora thrive in that size ? If so what species and how many would you recommend? Or what tank would you recommend? 2x2 is my limit so that's the restriction.

Quick question....for example, breeding angels...in this case there are several hundred eggs and or fry to deal with...how many , how big are the aquariums or water vessels, involved in breeding and raising the fry?

@nicbrown265 27 күн бұрын

I am just about to move my tanks out of the garage and into a whole room just for my tanks. I currently breed pea puffers and I know exactly what set up I am soo g for them however what size tanks would you recommend if I want to breed angels and discuss and rams. I also have a number of L plecos which will go L plecos that will go in the bottom.
