wat good fish to breed make money

[nemo1981]

i got into breeding fish for the experience, and thought that what i might make back would cover my overheads (setup power food etc).

well [b:57f793f3eb]IT DOESN'T[/b:57f793f3eb] and it won't, at least not for a while especially if you're breeding more common fish.

now i am glad to be getting out of that side of fish because as many here can tell you, if you don't have the dedication and give it the time it deserves it's a waste of time.

I'm putting this post up again in case some people didnt read it in the other one, as it applies to this post as well.

I wouldnt be too worried about the taxman for quite some time, generally speaking, you need some kind of a plan before you can make money. Also some fish and then breed them and raise the fry.

You get an "A" for enthusiasm but you are putting the cart before the horse.

Actually a better question would have been,"How much time, money and effort is needed, before the money comes in".

You can make a small amount of money out of breeding fish, if you know what you are doing. The problem is, the amount of time, money and effort that has to be put into it is not commensurate with what you get out of it. So you [u:48006ef797]really[/u:48006ef797] have to be dedicated and like what you are doing.

Realistically speaking, I doubt there is another occupation on the planet where you would get so little for so much effort.

Well The only way I know how to make $$ with little efort
Is to go get some seeds grow ya wacky weed sell the shit get caught doing so and loose more than you started with
Simpeal don't you think? lmao
Not tring to be funny
But for most people its just a hobby
You sell or swap a few fish to cover food or power this is about the best u can do
Unless you set up a big fish room with heaps of fish
And may be in a year you might spin a profit

Andrews suggestion of wacky weed seems to be the best for you.

I don't mean to be rude but if you don't want to do water changes and don't want to spend anything on food don't bother and as far as a hole in the ground full of goldfish...you've really got no idea. What are you going to give these goldfish to spawn on? do you even know when goldfish spawn or how to sex them, what are you going to do to stop toads & dragon flies going crazy in your pond or keep birds out of the pond ect .

It seems you think all you do is add water and bang you have fry and until you realise that breeding fish sucessfully requires time, effort and a reasonable setup don't waste your time or money.

Yes, of course you can make money breeding fish.    There are commercial fish breeding establishments in just about every country around the world.

But like any live animal breeding or growing venture, it is a 7 day week, 52 week a year job.   NOT a hobby.

The proffit per unit produced is measured in cents,,,,not dollars.   Proffit that is, not selling price !!!

Even high value units are labour intensive, expensive to house and feed.   So, unless you have a couple of Mill$$$$ spare to invest and employ a stack of quallified, experienced fish keepers, forget making money and kick back and enjoy the hobby.

Willy,
Give it a go. At least you have your eyes open and have a bit of an idea what to expect now..... Auto water changers are easy to setup and ponds/pools are pretty cheap.
