How and where to sell Juvenille fish locally besides a LPS/LFS?

[Rocky998]

So as many of you all know by seeing my other thread, Im in a deep fry situation... I have about 50+ and i want to make some cash off of them/get rid of them but I cant seem to find a good place online to advertise it locally... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are pretty much your only two options. It might take a while for them to sell though, fish fry aren’t really in high demand.

Don't even bother selling fish on Facebook as the site does not allow people to sell animals there. Instead, use Aquabid.

Facebook recently made selling live animals illegal on their site... Also Craigslist is full of creeps so no lol

Oops, didn't see this post... On aquabid can I make it so its a local pickup? I can't ship fish

Yes. I've seen a few posts where it's just local pickup only.

Hmm... I'm kinda looking for a site where it would be more publicly seen... I want these guys gone quick when I do sell them because I can't hold onto them for long. I think Aqubid is really cool and all but I just don't know if they will get sold in time... Maybe this will be a batch for the LPS and I can see how much I get for it...

Most people won't be fry in my experience, it is just too risky. You may be able to find someone who you can give them too though. How about your friend who breeds them? They may take them off your hands.

I'm going to let them grow a bit. I feel comfortable having them for a little but I definitely can not keep all of them forever...

If I were you, I would leave them in the main tank and do what I did with the Severums it can be really cool.

This is mum dad and the kids. This was a 250 liter tank the Severums spawned multiple times and always managed to raise a few. When I sold the set up there were 30 Severums plus the two Jewel Cichlids you can see in the photo.

I will leave them in the main tank for as long as possible but I probably will move them to the 10g so I don't mix up my main male and female with them... I don't want to sell those two off ...

I don't think you could ever do that. You will always know who your breeding pair is, just by the way they look.
