Trading fish for fish food

[gwand21 137]

One of my local fish stores loves my gold sailfin Mollys. I raise them specifically for them. In return I receive store credit that I use to purchase equipment and frozen food. Here are the latest group of juveniles born on August 19. They are feasting on Repashy grub pie. I usually sell them between 10-12 weeks old.

When my fish room was running, I could take anything I wanted to my LFS for credit.
He would ask for 50 swordtails and I would bring 100 and he would take and credit me for all.
Sometimes I would bring 6 different types of fish in at once. Not unusual to get $250 credit in one shot.
It was a good deal for both of us. My fish lived high on frozen foods for sure~!
In return for me excepting less than true value for my fish and being grateful every now and then the owner would have a group of fish that he would want me to take home for free.
He would say did you see the red finned angels? I would say yea they're nice, and he would say you should take them all home.
I would say you want me to breed them and he would say yup.
He would even let me catch and bag them myself.
I do miss that part of breeding fish.
