All,

This is probably a stupid question but if you manage to get some of your paired livestock to spawn and you manage to rear the young fry to a safe age (asi se that you guys are managing to do which is just fantastic) what do you do with the fry? Do you keep them or sell them or donate them?
I'm not after any gifts am merely curious as its been puzling me for ages.

cheers in advance

I'm not sure how it is over there but, here in the states, the LFS will buy healthy fish for one third of what they will sell them for.

I would assume pretty much the same over here, either negotiate a price with your LFS or sell them to peeps on here

I normally sell on my baby cardinals to fellow reefers for hard cash or frags or equipment. I havent tried my lfs yet as you can get a better return of investment off fellow reefers who will look after the babies and not just sell them on.

My cardinals breed like cardinals and am considering setting up a bigger partitioned tank to hold many batchs of babies as the nano tank will soon get a little busy in there with many different generations of cardinals.
