ashbo Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 are they too small to be sold?? they are looking pretty tiny!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't see any problem. some one might have the space to raise them all but never bothered to try breeding themselves. I have sold a whole spawn of 4 week old gold severum fry to a guy before. All he wanted to do was enjoy the process of raising the fry. And he really likes severum! Try to remember folks! There is no real right or wrong way of doing things when it comes to keeping fish. Try not to get too picky about minor details! The only time i would really worry is if i see a clear and extreme case of abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbo Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 i didnt really have a problem but i just thought they were small i have brought little baby fry before an it was great to see them grow so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducati Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 not so much the size but that a large proportion will end up being nymphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelzie Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 like the way you put it Loopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 not so much the size but that a large proportion will end up being nymphs. i would say probably all of them will be, look closely at the picture i can hardly see any double tail and the ones that may be dont look like a very good spread and split. also for 5-1/5 week old goldfish fry they are very very tiny.

ducati Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I totally agree - I dont have a problem with selling fry but I do with not representing them accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Could be a good cheap and enjoyable way of getting some fish.. However with goldfish you could get ripped off and get a whole heap of nymphs.. I have stripped week old fry out of an african cichlid chucked them in a bag and given them to friends and they have taken them home and had none or only 1 or 2 die so they're alot more resiliant that people give them credit for..

Ira Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Expensive feeder fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 It is an example of someone breeding a male to a female without regard to quality and producing a load of rubbish. These wouldbe kull fish to a serious breeder---turtle tucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Agree with Alan4304, They are all rubbish or feeder fish. Don't know what he's trying to achieve by putting all those fish together to breed and the word lionchu , give me a break. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 If they weren't so overpriced I'd definitely buy them to feed to my dats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 How fast do small goldfish grow? They'd need to be about 4-5cm long to make a good meal for my dat, just over $1 each is cheaper than any feeders I've seen in the shops!
