    Your points are all very valid. I have a tank full of red cherries. I love these guys. But there are so many fish keeps looking to offload their RCS so the price gets lower. On the other hand, the blue ones and yellows have low supply, which allows them to command a higher price.

    Ive been keeping fish on and off for 30 years. But I've always only done guppies, betta, Oscars and convicts. 2 years ago I set up a 20 with a betta, ember tetras and corydoras (which I just lost, I'm in central texas and went 12 days with no power and an inside temp of 32°). Now that I am starting over I'm looking to "branch out" and explore different species. These videos are helping me out a lot. There are so many options lol I have a 10, 15, 20 and soon will have a 55 after I finish the restoration, all which now need stocked. Thanks for the help! (Sorry for the long post)

    Great series my man, as many times as I wish to strengthen the hobby, I prefer to just do my own biotopes. I agree with working with what comes out of your tap, we recently moved from great hard water to super soft water, making it work but now looking more towards to species that fit those parameters. I have a 40 Breeder, with CPD and mixed stuff, but my 3 10gs will be used for breeding CPD and blue Neos now just for that show tank. I will check out the peacock gudgeons vid, just wondering if you bred CPD, maybe a vid on that would be great, most of the vids online are mediocre but your editing is superb. keep up the great content. Take care.

    I have a reciprocal unspoken arrangement with my local pet shop. You are never going to make a huge amount of money from guppies unless you have a specific strain and are able to sell to the right audience. I have some quite nice guppies but they are never going to win any prizes, however, my pet shop can sell them any day of the week to your average fish tank owner who just wants something pretty swimming about; they don't care about the genetics or anything else, they just want a red one, a yellow one and one with a pretty pattern on it's tail. I breed them (takes no effort at all) and I give them away to my pet shop; we have never discussed money, I just give them away.
    What do I get out of it? - simple, my pet shop gives me fish food in exchange. I don't ask them what profit they make and to be honest I don't care, if they can make some money from them that's good for them, it keeps them in business which benefit me. I give them guppies for nothing and in exchange they give me fish food which I then feed to the guppies which I give back to them. At the end of the day everybody is happy and when I want some other fish, barbs or tetras etc I get them at trade price plus a stack of food. I just swapped 30 guppies for 10 Siamese algae eaters and 10 Rosie barbs - they cost me nothing.

    • @PrimeTimeAquatics
      @PrimeTimeAquatics  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's cool. If you guys are both happy with the exchange that's all that matters.

    • @pjp9383
      @pjp9383 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never given any fish to my LFS, but I do buy a lot from them, engage them in conversation when it's not busy, and stay out of their way when it is! They've definitely given me the occasional good deal on a fish or plant, or dropped an extra fish in the bag when I'm getting a group, taken a plant off driftwood for me when they didn't have any potted, and tracked down a special order plant that I really wanted (anubias lanceolata). Having a good relationship with them definitely pays off! Oh, and the drop-off donation fish that they get (unwanted guppy fry, raggedy bettas, etc) get put into their plant tanks. So when I'm standing around lusting after all the expensive greenery, I end up feeling sorry for or falling in love with the fish, and often end up taking them home!

    Guppies are very profitable if you find the right strain. I have Full Red Albinos. They're absolutely gorgeous and fetch a decent price.
    The biggest downfall of these guppies though, is that they're not hardy at all. I bred my female about 4 times. The first batch did really well. The second and third died of skin flukes very fast. With the fourth one, half of them died of skin flukes too. I treated them, and the skin flukes returned. After about 7 months from a successful batch, I think I'm finally starting to get the fry to survive again.
    So my advice is that if you want to get guppies, make sure the strain is beautiful, and hardy

    I did breed Peacock Gudgeons for money last 2 years. At least here in Romania, people don't know about them and don't care. In spite of having de commercial advantage to be the only one cu have this species, I didn't have success. Some people bought like 10, 20 or 30 of them, but this instances were few and far between. The price was about $5. I stopped breeding them and donated the last 60 of them. Now I'm breeding Betta Dumbo HM LF and people are buying like crazy for 3 x the price of Gudgeons. 🙂 Also note that Peacock Gudgeon is a slow grower and picky about food.

    Do you think that Endlers would be a good alternative to guppies? I've recently become very interested in Endlers having seen a few recently at the local pet store. Also about Cory cats. Interesting that you mentioned that the albinos aren't popular. Remember not too long ago when they used to be EVERYWHERE? As a kid in the 80's and then even up to about 10 years ago they seemed to be in pretty much every freshwater community section pretty much anywhere you went. I've been looking around at my local Petco and Petsmart locations, a few other smaller stores, and there wasn't a single albino cory to be found until I got to a locally owned store and finally found a few of my beloved albino cory cats. And I was incredibly surprised at how hard it was to locate a few. The Petcos, Petsmarts, etc had different varieties, I don't know all of the #'s and whatnot but there were plenty of Corys, just zero albinos. I really hope that the happy little albino corys don't get left behind and fade out of the hobby. They have been a staple of every single community aquarium that my parents had, and that i've had.

I just packed it full of dwarf sag, micro swords, suswassertang, hornwort etc and now my pair spawn everyday. Once a week I spend about a half hour watching for fry and then I suck them up with a turkey baster and then grow them out in plastic shoe boxes. Once they get some size on them I stick them in a different 10 gallon to grow out even more. I think the main trick is I feed them heavily and also feed baby brine shrimp everyday
