Lucid Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 If I was to breed guppies for the intention of selling them as live food to those who would want it, what problems could I run into other than the moral issue of breeding for food. If I was to do this: Who would be interested in purchasing them? What would you expect to pay or be a reasonable price? would you be prepared to ship at own risk(due to me being in wellington)? The reason I ask this is that I would love to breed guppies but don't want to find myself stuck with lots of them and not be able to move them on. Any other comments welcome.

beblondie Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 "the moral issue of breeding for food" Predatory fish eat other fish whats the moral issue its a simple fact of nature, Trust me its better to raise your own then buy them, At least you know where they come from and disease risk is minimalizd -Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 thanks for the replys, but what I would like to know is who would be interested in buying them and for how much, just trying to get a feel for whether or not to breed them.

Caryl Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I don't think there is a large demand for feeder guppies ballistic. Those with large carnivorous fishes may want them but only as an occasional treat rather than a daily diet. I might be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holiday Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I'll give you $10 for 20 guppies once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
