Making side income breeding fish?
posted by markus in Freshwater Fish BreedingWith all the local fish stores closing up and Walmart or Petco being the only alternatives to buying fish, I have been thinking of building out a breeding rack in my garage and maybe make a side income...
Anyone have experience doing this? Outside of tetras, goldfish and those crazy neon injected fish, the big box stores don't have the variety we all used to get at the local LFS...
Anyone breeding tropical fish and making any kind of money?

Hey Markus, welcome to the forum...
Yea, I have been seeing the same thing as well, LFS is gone and no replacement... I think you can make a few dollars if you watch your expenses and are active online... Electricity, water and food will be the primary expense outside of acquiring your initial breeding stock... You didn't mention what you wanted to breed...
Develop a reputation for developing and breeding great fish and find forums like this one to post when you have something to sell...

I know quite many people doing it for a living. My grandpa also did it. It is not going to make you rich but it is affordable to live

I have often thought about fish breeding, however in absence of technical knowledge, I have been putting my desire to the back seat. In my locality, there are not many fish breeders. In fact, I don't know anyone breeding fish. I think there is money to be made in fish breeding.
