LOL, I like to think so but my wife on the other hand thinks I have lost my marbles. I have just learned to be patient and let mother nature takes its course and PRESTO------------------------------>>> INSTANT FISHFARM
 
I should try that too then. lol.

If you purchase a tumbler... Keep in mind that even though they call it a tumbler dont adjust the airflow in it to make them tumble alot. Adjust the airflow so that they eggs barely wiggle/wobble on or very close to the bottom. If you have the air on to much the eggs will get damaged and die. If you need future help with tumbling just drop me a PM and ill do my best to help you
 
Nice collection.:) Your brichardi yield will likely double. Mine never had less than 100 per spawn (yes I counted every time) and it got to the point where it was hard to give them away once I saturated the local market. It's kind of twisted to see them sell for $3-7 in pet stores considering how prolific they are. Beautiful fish tho. I like the common color variant the best.
 
3-7 bucks is pretty cheap. The avergae small fish is about that much. Male guppies are 3-4 bucks. But then again, everything is cheaper in the US and UK.
 
Thanks guys. I cant be the only member thats breeding. If you have had some or even one successful spawn this month please post and add pics if possible.
