Lots of new wet pets.

Im getting a bit over stocked but then again ill be moving out appx 100+ juvies out in 3 weeks. Its a constant turnover in the fish room,lol.

I wouldnt say good income. I try very hard to remember that this is a HOBBY. The income i get from my juvies pretty much covers the cost of the food, electric and water bills. So in my eyes its a cheap hobby. It helps to have close freinds at the pet store to because i have come to find out that if you upset a pet store their goes your sales,lol. No i didnt tick any off. Just heard it direct from my buyer.

Well, its pretty much free when keeping these fish. But keeping up the same amount of fry to sell isnt going to last for a long time.

Its a never ending cycle unless i have a tank blow out while im not home. So far im getting a good 2 years out of each of the mated pairs. Ive allready switched out some older females that have bred numerous times (at least 30+spawns) and let them goto the community tank and then purchase a large female to replace her. Another option is to grow out the fry to adults. I have had Yellow labs that are able to spawn as early as 5 months. so keeping up with the amount of fry is quite easy in my opinion.
