Hello all,

I have heaps of Red Fin Kadango, Electric Yellows and Princess and was wondering if there are any Aquarium shops in Perth that would buy these at all or on a regular basis?

Cheers

Best way is to approach each Fish Shop individualy and ask them if this is a regular spawning and not a once in a year  spawn I would think some might take you on

 

Hope this was some help

If you can grow out the fry to a sellable size, shops may buy some off you. Keep in mind that it will probably be store credit, and a third of the price they sell them for.

And most shops would rather males, colored would be even better, however you can grow up a set of about 2 males and 5+ females or however and sell them as a colony once you get them all harmoniously breeding!

fish supply and demand is all over the place at the moment.... sometimes its better to find out what shops would like before going ahead and breeding willy nilly... as there maybe 10 other people breeding what your bred and then theres over supply and no-one wants them...  a lot of wasted resources if you have to end up giving your fry away to someone with a much bigger fish for live food....  i can foresee a shortage of angel fish in the near future as the biggest local breeder of them winds down...
