What Do You Do With Your Fry

[Runit]

I'm hoping my mollies will produce some fry some, as I hear they do often, and I was just wondering what people are doing with all the babies.




*Oops....I messed up on my poll, there was supposed to be a "keep them" option.

 

[kewskills]

i always kept mine as once i see them they are way too cute to give up. thats why i have so many tanks and now keep the boys and girls in seperate tanks.

 

[mcdanielnc89]

I will be selling mine, as i will not ive them away as thats a waste odf money.. Others may think otherwise but I believe they are worth at least a buck or so a piece...

I kept my first batch and didnt realise i was overstocked with the fry, I still have them now and am trying to swap them so I can get experience in a different species of fish.........

If anyones interested...[post="http/www.fishforums.net/Platy-Fry-t193981.html"]Platy Fry![/post]

I am going to keep mine - my first batch of platy fry - eight in total. (I am also keeping 8 Cherry barb fry, coincedence...)

My tank might get a little overstocked for awhile when they're fully grown (not for another 3 months), but my Filament Barbs are over 5 years and are starting to show their age and I'll be damned if I give them up, just for the Filament Barbs to pass and then to have the space (it'll be a double blow). If the tank becomes too overstocked, I'll probably give a couple away.

May seem selfish, but it's my first batch so I'm pretty attached! Any other fry will be given away unless we have room for them.

It all depends how many i have at the current time and how much room I have left in my tanks. In my area I have found it difficult to really sell fry depending on the type. So usually just end up giving them away.

I'll probably end up keeping the prettiest or frendliest fry, and giving some away to my friends.

I keep all my choice fry. Right now clear yellow, moscow blue. The rest go to the Needle nose Gar Gods

 

[fishkers]

I give mine to a good cause. I can't find people to buy them and so I give them away unless they are special then I just have to keep them...

I've sold the last couple batches to another hobbiest trying to develop a certain strain. They're hifin lyretail swordtails... A little rarer than your common sword

 

[dwarfgourami]

My platies were not a very good strain, lots of health problems so I've kept their fry, split up on separate tanks so the next generation never gets to breed. The first guppy lot since I started up the hobby again also had health problems, so kept those- and they died prematurely anyway. The fry of the second lot I bought are a lot healthier, but quite a small batch, am keeping those for pleasure (again split up according to sexes).

Am selling bristlenose fry, and swapping portholes for other fish.

 

[lilfishie]

i keep all my guppy fry, i just can't bear to see them go so they all stay

 

[iairj84]

It can take a while to get fish worth selling or giving away. This is generally easier with platies and such since their aren't really a whole lot of color strains and patterns you need to get something special going. But at the same time the pet stores only might buy these fish for pennies.

I eat mine. Deep fried, with a bottle of beer. Not much eats, but that's what the beer's for; filler.





























Did you really think I was being serious? I keep them, I don't have that many.
