Looking to get into breeding as a hobby (read)

[Deadliestviper7]

That is the current plan, still deciding how I want to go about it. Would it be a bad idea after the first fry are born to separate the male and female so I don’t get overwhelmed with new wiggles shortly after. This will help me keep my quality up and slowly get all the errors figured out that I may have.

I would take the female out after breeding, leave the male in a few days to take care of fry

Awesome thanks! Also where would you recommend me selling the fish at? Want me to try local then online or go straight to wholesale?

Petco's in my area will buy fry, call yours and ask?

What do they normally take, just the fish they carry?

I told them what I may be getting fry from (at the time.Oscars,JDs,Convicts) and the 3 places closest to me all said yes.

Did they give you a reasonable price? Also was it in instore credits? This is very interesting as I figured most places have contracts in place.

Buck a fish in store credit. I could buy my Prime, food, heaters, filters, list goes on and on.

I guess that isn't a bad idea, could really help me get started and gain the supplies I will need for later on.
