Grow up you child and thats the same thing you should do with your fish let them grow a little more


Them to small to sell wait a little more that way the buyer does not end up with dead fish due to shock!!!!

Hi guys,

Its not unheard of to sell fry at that size. Of course they will be cheaper and so some experienced fishkeepers will choose to wear the risk to get a fish they may otherwise be unable to afford. In my experience Malawi fry are tough and if the correct transfer procedures are followed I've had good success moving them.

I don't think these negative comments not relating to sale are necessary.

Please keep comments constructive and related. Remember that a fish is worth what a buyer would pay and that Scott has given all relevant information needed for a potential buyer to make an informed choice about buying babies at this size and age.

Cheers
Vincent

An informed choice?? I think not else I would not have had as many questions asked as to the survival of these fry if potential buyers had been FULLY informed.

What other information would you have him give out? He has given the age, approximate size, and contact information. I don't think its compulsory to give a whole spiel on the ins and outs of moving fry.

It is to a certain extent the buyer's responsibility to do the research. In addition, it is VERY debatable whether it is an instant death sentence to move fry at this size, as many are implying.

If buyers are asking you as to survival of these fry they are seeking an opinion and doing said research. In MY opinion, Malawi fry even at this stage have a very good chance of surviving if handled properly.

If a buyer is not confident of a purchase, he/she will simply not go through with the sale. If they are happy with the information given, then I see no problem with a sale.

There is no more or less information in this ad than in the majority of classifieds ads. To say that one cannot make an "informed" decision with this information is wrong.

Please from now on can everyone please refrain from commenting on things for sale unless you have something concrete to contribute and not just innuendo.
