I started selling my orange neocaridina shrimp for $30 for 10 shrimp. I have already earned $120 in 4 days 😅 I have way over 200 shrimp and they breed like crazy. I’m a student, so this is a lifesaver
Selling plants is a great way for me to keep investing in the hobby. I sold trimmings for a few months randomly. Then I used the money I made to buy a few tanks and supplies for growing plants and breeding shrimp!
Thank you for the free knowledge! Here in the Philippines, aquatic plant businesses boom'd during the pandemic, almost all local fish shops, even general pet shops sell aquatic plants now!
I just starting breeding some uncommon orange tuxedo koi guppies. They are absolutely gorgeous and I’m so excited to watch the fry grow. I’ll probably be selling them for $8-$10 CAD for fully grown adults. It’s nice to get a little revenue in to support the hobby. I already have buyers lined up for when they’re fully grown.
I definitely got duckweed from you from one of my plant purchases, Cory. Like you said, it's impossible to avoid in your situation. It would have been easy to mitigate early on had I wanted to, but I kinda like the look of duckweed.
I love gardening, I would love to have an in depth video about how to plant trimmings. cause sometimes i've bought plants from the store and put them in my tank just to die. so i feel like i'm not doing something right, do i need the planters cups? or should i put it in the substrate, or float it? it's rough cause there are so many plants but when i go to petsmart most of the time the person there can't explain what kind of conditions it would need.
I've got a large planted tank and I'm setting another smaller tank just for plants I'm going to sell/give away. Bleach bath (need to find out ratio and how long), week or two of quarantine and ready to go. There's a forum and few other places I can sell them, but I think even LFS nearby wouldn't be against if I brought few giant vals or some fully coloured stem plants like Hygrophila Polysperma or Rotala Rotundifolia.
Hey 😀 Do you have any future plans to visit Australia? I'm sure there are lots of us that would love to hear you speak and maybe bring some products to sell 😉
Hi Riona if you have a tank with plants for sale without shrimp or crayfish just use flubenol powder. If u have shrimp anf cry fish use half of the dose and do it for the next 4 weeks. If u have any big "show" snails catch them out!! If you have any question send me a message
Every LFS in my country has snails or snails eggs on them. Farms don't bother, they don't bother. Most snails are benign as they eat algae or detritus, leaving plants alone. It's possible to avoid them with in-vitro or emerse plants (which weren't put into a tank with snails) or do a chlorine bath before planting. By chlorine bath I mean putting the plants in bleach solution before going to plant/sell them, but I don't remember how much bleach and how long it should last to kill all the snails, planaria, pests without damaging the plants. Of course there are other chemicals which may work. Long time ago I had a surplus of Hygrophila Corymbosa 'compacta' (mini), so I gave away some to a friend. Later he said 'oh, it got full of hair algae, so I threw it out'. Now with large tank and more plants than I need I'm seconding the idea of having a smaller tank with plants just for sale/give away. Basically outward quarantine tank where I can sort planaria or hair algae.
I tried using bleach to kill snails and snail eggs on my plants, can say it worked. Sadly, I don't remember the exact amount of bleach I used, but I filled a bucket of water, added the bleach, then dipped each plant for about a minute. Afterwards, I rinsed them and left em floating in a bucket for a few days. No more snails.
@@AquariumCoop thank you. I just purchased plants far from my place. The parcel said that i would pick it up to their postal branch 2-4 days. It still worry me though i hope they survive
If you can find a tank I promise you can afford it. Use an inch dirt, two inches sand. Put it next to a sunny window and give it as good a light as you can afford. Find Local plants. Local fish. Sell either until you can buy red cherry shrimp to sell. Sell those and buy valisneria, Java moss, high grade guppies. Sell high grade guppies and shrimps online and you’ll have hundreds to really expand.
Damn that's concerning, they are so hardy. Mine only died when i removed 98% of them and introduced water lettuce, the water lettuce didn't leave enough nutrients for the duckweed So the 2% died
I've got two tanks without duckweed: 1. Large tank with angelfish and black skirt tetras which all eat duckweed like hungry ducks. 2. Paludarium where only crypts and Java fern grow underwater. So I'd say not enough light or some nutrients for duckweed.
Same. I purposely bought something similar to duckweed (it's called giant duckweed) it was doing amazing but suddenly started struggling. Now it's almost all red or disintegrating
Is it kind of the same thing with selling/giving away fish? Curious about it, especially as I’m a student who accidentally got pregnant girlies who had fry in my tank! Oddly enough, my mollies didn’t eat their babies like I hoped. 😢 Guess I spoil them!

Wow keep up the good work! That's awesome! 👍
Where did you sell?

Thank you for always sharing all of this knowledge for free! Y'all are heckkkkin awesome!
Perfect timing on this video topic. My Amazon sword is making new ones like crazy!

I have learned so much from videos based in the Philippines and most of SE Asia.
The DIY ingenuity is amazing. 😊

I run duckweed in several tanks. Gotta be careful not to spread it, but I enjoy it for several types of tanks.
I thought I was watching an old video, the camera angle of you throws me back
First ❤ thanks Cory for the positive information!!
Thanks for this video. I feel like my local area could use some good, local plant growers.
I love gardening, I would love to have an in depth video about how to plant trimmings.
cause sometimes i've bought plants from the store and put them in my tank just to die.
so i feel like i'm not doing something right, do i need the planters cups?
or should i put it in the substrate, or float it?
it's rough cause there are so many plants but when i go to petsmart most of the time the person there can't explain what kind of conditions it would need.
I was wondering what kind of containers you use and size. Also what other kind of container can you say will hold up reliability for inside use?
Yay! Can't wait to start the new video.
I'm getting tidy chunks of money from the extra subwassertang from my display tanks. I'm hoping they can eventually pay for my basic hobby expenses.
I think I’ll set up a 10 gallon with java moss and shrimp. That’s a great tank to help me get a bit of money for my hobby. 👍

Hey Cory if I were to grow my plants in a tank with plenty of shrimp and an assassin snail or two would that help keep them free of algae and snails?
I paid for my whole aquarium hobby by selling plants!
Great information 👍
I might do this. I have been looking to move into something different and I am here in the area. Also considering ornamental shrimp.
Great info.
I sold fish and planta for fun and unless you sell thousands of them a month is not worth the hustle.
1000 shrimps at 3 a pop makes it worth it for a few hours a week.
Hey 😀
Do you have any future plans to visit Australia? I'm sure there are lots of us that would love to hear you speak and maybe bring some products to sell 😉
Everytime I try to sell aquarium plans to friends they never wanted because for some reason I can't get rid of snails and snail eggs.

Hey there! You can check out Girl Talks Fish's video on keeping snails out of plants. She recommends an alum dip
@@lemonlizard1 I 2nd that recommendation.
Alum dip works for me, snails and their eggs. I got mine where the store keeps spices.
I tried using bleach to kill snails and snail eggs on my plants, can say it worked.
Sadly, I don't remember the exact amount of bleach I used, but I filled a bucket of water, added the bleach, then dipped each plant for about a minute. Afterwards, I rinsed them and left em floating in a bucket for a few days. No more snails.
How much does ludwigia palustrus sell for? Thanks for the video!
When we sell our plant clippings to you will I get back store credit or real cash
Hello, could aquatic plants survive more than a week while sealed for shipping?
Anubias and java ferns can, many mosses as well, but typically ont stem plants. Heater/cold plays a big part also.
@@AquariumCoop thank you. I just purchased plants far from my place. The parcel said that i would pick it up to their postal branch 2-4 days. It still worry me though i hope they survive
Awesome
Algorithm bump!!!!
What fish is on screen at 6:24?
Neon tetra
@@jedediahtaylor4328 thanks
I love aqua scaping, growing aquatic plants and breeding fish. I just can't afford

Re-post? Still good content but curious why a years old vid shows as 3 days old.
Where can we find the rock wool at?
You can buy sheets of cubes online, or at Lowes/Menard during the gardening season.
@@BirdwellingtonAmalgamation oh awesome, thanks for that info.
@@Venom746 no problem. Good luck!
I got snail infestation after buy from your store but assassins snail get rid off all them
Every fish guy talking about duckweed growing out of control and taking over tanks while I watch mine die like they're from another planet 😶
Damn that's concerning, they are so hardy. Mine only died when i removed 98% of them and introduced water lettuce, the water lettuce didn't leave enough nutrients for the duckweed
So the 2% died
I've got two tanks without duckweed: 1. Large tank with angelfish and black skirt tetras which all eat duckweed like hungry ducks. 2. Paludarium where only crypts and Java fern grow underwater.
So I'd say not enough light or some nutrients for duckweed.
Same. I purposely bought something similar to duckweed (it's called giant duckweed) it was doing amazing but suddenly started struggling. Now it's almost all red or disintegrating
I have to stop killing them before I sell them.
👍🏻👍🏻
Is it kind of the same thing with selling/giving away fish? Curious about it, especially as I’m a student who accidentally got pregnant girlies who had fry in my tank! Oddly enough, my mollies didn’t eat their babies like I hoped. 😢 Guess I spoil them!
👍💖👍
🙏🏾🔱🌿
Duckweed is not the problem people dont know how to get rid of it
Cody do you know what the latest is with the LACEY ACT??
