So starting out, Im a dumb@$$ and bought two red snook cichlids from petsmart because they were pretty, the sign said they only got 6 inches long and they were at 75% discount (so $2.25 apeice instead of $25... Im in college seemed like a good time to buy). Anywho obviously once I got home and sarted researching them (didnt want to wait to buy then because there was only 2 left of 20 somin) I realized they get much bigger... which is great except I cant afford to get a bigger tank (theyer in a 55 with two fire mouth cichlids) Anywho long story short I now have two much bigger red snooks that have started breeding. I have probably 50-60 fry in a 10 gallon now and I had the thought that maybe I could finance getting a bigger tank by selling off the babies once they reach a couple inches (obviously to much better educated and prepared buyers than I was) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do that or if anyone in the colorado area might be interested (Im not sure how I feel about trying to ship them).
Thanks
 
To Woofy I may end up flying down to Gainsvile, Fl at some point in the next year, probably next summer, to see my uncle. If I still have some and your realy interested we might be able to meet up.
