I'm Breeding Peacock Bass, Now What?

[oscarfishguy]

I have baby Peacock Bass (Cichla Monoculus)!!! http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/images/smilies/headbang2.gif
I don't want to turn my place into a fish store so I am wondering what would be a good price to expect to get from a LFS for 2" or 3" fish?

An LFS will probably give you next to nothing for them. Most sellers on here have them for $15, and they have to buy them for significantly less in order to make a modest profit.

Do you have pictuers of these little one's? I am sure you can whole sell them. I sold my fry for $50 a piece but they are proven Purivian Mono's. How big are your fry?

It depends on if the parents are wild or not, quality of the parents. Any pics?

My LFS sell's the ones they get for $10.00 a piece.

The fry are about 1 1/2" now. I will try to get a few pics up for you.

The first two are of the female and the last two are of the male. I hope they look like yours High City Rida. Let me know what you think.
