    I’ve been “Breeding for Profit” for 4 years now and I’ve only made one sale 😅.. my problem is falling in love with my babies and the plants 😂

      It becomes easier to sell the fish when you dont have room for all the babies as they grow but there is always room for plants, i have plants in bowls of water that started as trimming i was going to propagate and sell but…ykno

    Nick , I have watched and listened to dean for several years, and I've been watching you for quite a while too. since you looked like a kid!
    but I'd like to say I value your opinion and advice on breeding fish every bit as much as I do Deans !
    for a young man you are extremely knowledgeable and are very successful in the fish business .

    @IvansGuppies 26 днів тому +1

    Great videos with Dean, Nick! I have the same thoughts with guppies. They passively produce and if you have just 30 females that you regularly separate (or basket), you’d get fry everyday every month. Steady and reliable producers.

    @RandySoWavvy 25 днів тому

    I have guppies in a 40g and they breed like crazy and a lot of my babies make it to adulthood thanks to a heavily planted tank. I noticed a lot of the fish stores in my area seem to get bad batches of guppies more often than not. I really want to get into parrot fishes and clowns so if I can use the guppies to fund those 2 projects that’d be a win.

    Its my long term goal to be able to breed for profit, im in no rush i would like it to be a secondsry source if income as i get older since i have a physically demanding job, im getting to a point now where im breeding for sales not so much profit just yet, i have 4 projects i want to focus on and for two of them i have been able to breed my store bought fish a few times and get a decently sized group of healthy and pretty breeders i am just now growing out (one are corys and wont be ready for a few months) and when they are old enough start breeding them and selling the babies when they are old enough

    I wish i had a bigger market here in my country (Philippines) the best i can sell here is like every other 3 months. and i have to be careful not to saturate the market. also like dean i prefer to sell wholesale not retail. It just does not make sense to have people come over buy fish there and compete with local fish shops. I prefer to support them.

      Yes, I can imagine it easily. My original career track was marine biology but also deeply interested in herpetology, avian biology, botany, landscaping… basically all aspects of husbandry/maintenance of many/most “exotic” living organisms at home. I believe it’s important to find a partner with (at least) similar interests. If not you may start resenting each other, I’ve seen it happen to my brother… several times.

    Hope I can get advice here . In my bedroom I have a 2ftx2ft dead space . I built the stand thinking of going with a Innovative marine 25 lagoon . Can a group of corydora thrive in that size ? If so what species and how many would you recommend? Or what tank would you recommend? 2x2 is my limit so that's the restriction.

  • @MariusDarkheart
    @MariusDarkheart 25 днів тому +1

    I trade in my fish to a local garden centre. At first I felt ripped off. Now I get a better deal with the owner. Shops are taking a risk as the need to know your fish are healthy as it can damage their reputation if your fish aren't good quality. I always ask how many of my fish died, do they have any left. Build up a good rappor.
