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...

its a challange its is so i can have bigger tanks in time not for the money only to help my dad along with the bulls.

Rays are going to be your easiest to breed but need experience and knowledge and clean well maintained setups, probably not the best idea with your hospital visit so near and with your age.

Forget the big cichlids and monsters, start by breeding something small you have the space for then move up.

The garage needs to be insulated and heated (which will cost you at least another £400 if not installed already)

And where are you going to get the money to put towards bills?

the pups off them

the tank will have a 4ft stump and a Fx5 or some bigger fillter as ino rays do need good warter.

Right so your going to use the money from the ray pups to pay the bills...

Let's say the rays breed twice a year and drop 5 young, that's 10 a year... Say 8 of those survive to be sellable (i.e. feeding etc no problems)

Sell them at average of £60 a piece.

That's £480, that's about 2-3 months worth of bills with that many tanks, if that.



Then minus off your original setup costs of tanks, insulating garage, filters, and livestock, and you're definetly in negative money



We all have big ideas and plans, but this just isn't viable, wait till you've got the money for something like this.

Wait till you have a job and an income, this is a hobby your talking about not a business, you're looking at breeding for all the wrong reasons atm.

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.

mate are you on something?? you talk about what you are going to breed and sell, and then ask people what size tank is ok,!!!
try guppies and platy's mate,have you actually bred anything out of the ordinary? and as for stingrays, what type are you on about?
go get some black mollies and start there!
