Selling Fish To Lfs

[-Deano-]

Hey. From Previous Experiences, Can People Tell Me Which Breeds Of Fish They Have Successfully Sold To An LFS? I Want To Know So That I Can Start Breedin Them And Sell Them I Currently Have

Glowlight Tetras
Black Neon Tetras
Zebra Danios
Guppies
Corys

So From Previous Experiences, Can Anyone Tell Me If Pet Shops Will Buy Fry From Any Of Them Species, Or Can You Name Any Easy To Breed Fish They Will Buy. Thanks

i work in an lfs and i have bred rarer livebearers like goodeids and cichlids also angels (especially koi aangels) they are most popular well most places ive been anyway

This depends on your area, and who buys & sells what. Corys may sell well, and you may have 4 cory breeders already selling to shops. They may sell corys, but have no local supply, making them a good selection. You need to research your local area, and local shops.

Generally, fish that are easy to breed don't sell as well as fish that are hard to breed. There are at times local exceptions.

my lfs will buy any young fish going, quite a good price too, ive sold them platies, guppies, and the odd other fish too.

I have sold bristlenoses, but failed to sell my porthole livebearers because "they weren't colourful enough". Tbh can't see that there's that much more colour on the bristlies, but there you go; it's about what they think they can sell, not what I think they ought to be able to sell.

Probably won't get much, if anything for the guppies. Might be able to get a little bit of shop credit or money for all the others.
