    Thank you for your videos and information, I've been keeping an aquarium for a couple months and I love to learn more about them. I love it so much that I decided to do a project on breeding fish, this project will last for 1.5 years and your videos absolutely help me, and I'm sure others, towards breeding and keeping fish. TYSM!

Long story short, they sell them for Average £10 each, at this time they were £12. They said to me "we will take as many bristlenose as you can bring" at about 50p a fish 😠.

      Sell on gumtree. I've been offered 1/3 of what the store sells them for, but the bright side is, they will buy dozens at a time. So it's good for a bulk payment. That being said, I've had people buy a considerable amount of fish off me in one sitting, privately.

    • @duktrilfromsouthafrica
      @duktrilfromsouthafrica Год назад

      A great way is to give them a price menu. 30% of their cost is a good price imo.
      You could always adjust and make things a little cheaper, for example with congo tetras, where im from they sell for more than most fish, yet I sell them for only about 15% of what petshops ask. This is bcs they are a schooling fish, & have hundreds and hundreds of eggs per spawn, so high quantity x a low price = the same profit as lower quantity x high price.
      Play around with prices and work out what you need to make to break even. Then don’t sell for less- after all, your fish get worth more the bigger they get- so you could always sell breeding pairs or groups later on for more!

    Hey, I recently watched your video on how to breed neon tetras, and I was wandering, did you have to do a drip acclimation to drop them in? Since the ph, gh and kh are extremely different for my tanks. I put two in yesterday night but I haven't seen any breeding today. When do I need to wake up and turn on the lights, do I need to feed them while their in there, and also I love your videos man. Another thing with the neon tetras, I tried making infusoria but it doesn't work, I have made 3 attempts and there are no infusoria, I used the water from my 1 year old aquarium, not sure whats happening, is there anything else I can feed them, I read somewhere that you can feed egg yolk or hikari frozen rotifers for the first few days.
