trying some new stuff.!

yeah if you're going to be breeding oscars you're going to need a much bigger tank. The ray tank seems kinda small for breeding as well.

Is the garage insulated?

I would actually get 8 wild oscars and breed them..Profit £££ £££

 

[DubaiPond]

Is the tank bred offspring of a wild oscar wild? Don;t think so. So Why would they be worth any more than LFS Stock?

the LFS dont ever have them in its always tiger , red and albino .

this operation has fail written all over it.

you need to learn to even breed this fish to start with... then worry about breeding to sell.

your tanks are small just for one... let alone a breeding pair

Right i'm gonna break your plan down for you mate and tell you why it's not going to work...

put the breeding pair in a 3ft or 4ft by 18" by 18" for life (should do fine)

Oscars are going to get too big for this mate i'm afraid.

and let them breed and sell the babys on ebay and onlineand to fish shops ( LFS ) at 1"-2" long babys,

You will struggle to sell the young online, and most shops do not buy from public breeders unless very small scale LFS, and even then, they're not going to want more than 10 oscars if any.

get 5-8 monoc peacock bass grow them up to 12" get a pair or two ouit othe the lot sell the others off keep the pair(s) and breed them sell them at 2" for £20 or 10 for £150 on ebay and online and to fish shops ( LFS ).

Again same thing with shops, peacock bass are reasonably tricky to spawn and need to be massive before they're ready. You need to sell to private markets and a lot of the major fish keepers in the UK will have already heard of you for negative reasons by now.

I'm not even going to bother writing the same things about rays.

Also, your power costs are going to be high, have you made sure your parents are happy with electricity bills being boosted by hundreds of pounds monthly

This is constructive criticism.

I agree, you're getting into breeding for the wrong reasons. It should be something you do for the challenge or love of fish keeping not profit. Breeders who are in if for profit either have unhealthy fish because they cut corners or dead fish for the same reason. Tanks that are too small is the first corner neatly snipped off...

well what about for the rays as they start breeding around 12"-15" disc

a 5 by 3ft by 2ft high


oscars a 5ft by 2ft by 2ft

peacock bass a 6-7ft by 30" by 2ft ?


how dose that sound ?


and my dad say as long as i get some money towards the tanks bill he dosent mind.
