Breeding apistos for profit is generally ... well, unprofitable. Otherwise commercial fish farms would be doing it more.
I’m not trying to make a profit. They will give me half the selling price in store credit. I’ve sold to them before.

I do the same, I get store credit, I just let it build up till they get what I want or I can use it for anything else I need, but with that being said I have overwhelmed my LPS with apisto's that aren't selling that well, if you have a good breeding pair you can get covered up in fry pretty quick.

Ok. I have at least 3 stores I could easily sell to. My lfs had to get them imported from Europe. I don’t think I’ll have a problem getting rid of them

Hi all,

I usually buy stupid things like sand with my credit. It is heavy so it isn't any cheaper to buy via the web once you've factored in p&p.

It would be great if you could. I wish you luck, tell us how you get on.

I really want to. Perhaps when I get a first spawn I will try and hatch some. I usually just crush up flakes. I will leave the babies for a week or so and they can graze on some micro organisms. I will be starting a new tank for my next pair. It will of course have a cycled sponge filter and some media in a hob filter.
HI there, why don't you try hatching BBS so long in prep for your fry that are coming. You can feed all your fish with it in any case. Good luck
