Need to supplement income Would fish breeding be profitable to make extra $1-2k a month?

Comment from : Christopher Staples

I’d be happy making $50,000 a year to be honest But I’m a betta fan and I want to breed them because I love them
Comment from : richardwildlife88

Comment from : KitKat

I´ve been a half professional fish breeder (it means I got half of my income from fish breeding) and you have some good advice here I just wanted to add something about guppy Basically everywhere you hear about guppy it is said that they are so easy to breed Some strains are truly not Some really professional breeders go for brackish water and use a lot of antibiotics These guppys often look great and will sell very good - but they are very difficult to breed (even to keep them alive in a normal tank can be hard)brbrWith Endlers or if you find an old strain (check old the old aquarium folks, they sometimes have some amazingly easy to breed livebearers), that will pretty much "take care of themselves", especially if one gives them some high quality food My point is that some guppys are worthy of the nickname "Millionfish", but some strains are basically as hard to breed as DiscusbrbrI personally view the "extreme professional" guppy breeding as bad for the hobby Kids will buy these fish and they die fast Also - some guppy breeders that know about genetics will only sell fish that they have cross paired with another strain The first generation will look as their parents, but if you get these "F1" guppys to breed, their offspring will not look like their parents I am kind of impressed with that trick

Comment from : blue collar worker

What’s your store called
Comment from : Fish Brothers

I've made an ok amount with Bristol nose, very easy they don't take up much space till they grow out But it seems to dry up the market for a few months at least in my area(Saskatchewan,Ca) but it's doable, have fun, and thanks for the good video!
Comment from : Phillip Larocque

Wish we had some fish stores around here
Comment from : Keith Rose

Comment from : Damien Ganzer

The guppies yeah I had three from a shop and cost some lead of money from were they don’t do what they should be so I am always looking for small companies

Comment from : Pano Ramix

Can you have a sorority tank with several females and one male in a community beta tank??
Comment from : Clayton Summers

I occasionally breed albino Cory’s Never made a dime Just do it as a hobby and give them to the local fish store and barter for fish food
Comment from : Dave Hendricks

For African cichlids, easy cichlids to breed and easy to sell are the various aulonocara Peacocks in their pure forms or really nice OB peacocks Unfortunately the females are ugly and wont sell near as well if at all brNeolamprologus Multifasciatus or the similar Similus(sp?) are also fairly high demand and easy to breed cichlids They are shell dwellers and if you toss caviar shells with sand in a 10gallon tank and they will breed They do take a few months before they are sellable size however, they also do not appreciate active upper water column fish who eat the food before it gets down to them and can starve easily They breed very easily Even starting with a pair alone you will have a hundred inside of a year if not more

I went into PetSmart and opened my trenchcoat and said look at my cocatoides! They did not buy from me
Comment from : PULAG

when I first saw your content, I started to like it, keep up the good work 👍
Comment from : DOENK ALFI

you should look at breeding tilapia there is huge demand from home aquaponics owners who want to buy 50-100 a month and our only real suppliers are the big guys who only sell in batches of thousands
Comment from : Peter Sedesse

100$ a pair for apistos? You just lost all credibility
Comment from : Jeffrey Klima

You fail to mention, that you are going to sell very very small amounts of 500$ fish
Comment from : Jeffrey Klima

Brisiel noses have been the same price since day 1 $2 at 4cms has always been the price cichlids like Africans are 1 of the eases to breed I have sold 1000's of them but get One like electric yellows dolphins peacocks are good to but most people just want the males Johanie people like colorful fish where electric blue males are pretty the females are just drab and another good 1 but hard to breed are hump heads there a bugger to get pairs and are a little harder to find but sell for a good price at 4cm's
Comment from : Amanda-Andrew

Why betta fish is not included on the list sir? Are they not profitable? Thanks for another good video btw
Comment from : Xylanzkee

everything is "once you get them into the right environment" That's the trick, isn't it? If you don't, they die and you've wasted all your money and time
Comment from : j parks

If axolotl are legal in ur area they’re great They’re not in my area but back in the day I had a pair n I never bred amphibians at the time but the first clutch I got from them hatched like 7585 and with my fish breeding knowledge I was able to have a 90+ success rate to selling size Made a tonnnnn
Comment from : Philthy Tanks

It's always about making money
Comment from : Feelingshedy

I'm in Brisbane and would love to try Zero experience BTW
Comment from : rufflesal

I was breeding African cichlids in the 90's not far from where you are now It was a good high school side hustle and paid for my fish food, but you won't make any decent money out of it in Brisbane They're easy to breed But the broods are too small in number and you have to put too much work into getting them away from the parents and growing them to a saleable size
Comment from : inlovelyblue

You breed a lot ;)
Comment from : Claudio Osorio

Want to sell some of your endlers?
Comment from : Handy-Cap Outdoors

What about the bettas ?
Comment from : Ethan Dcruz-Mitchell

You make great videos my dude Editing is a pain in the ass, I know from experience…so I applaud you for taking the time to make quality vids given all your fish related work
Comment from : Ryan Hughes

Do you live near Houston? I have shit ton of platinum angle babies
Comment from : Demi Lati

I’m getting into this hobby and really love fish I’ve always wanted to see how far I can go I know that you can make money but I feel like I just like it due to the challenge and beauty in this Idk about you guys but my local aquariums offer to pay me by store credit so if it’s actually money idk who to look for or how to negotiate with these aquarium stores any advice? Btw I’m focused on rams I love these fish and really take the time to understand this fish and it’s needs as a whole very beautiful fish
Comment from : M3ter Peter

Can you stop telling people that you won't make money off of this you can make money, it's just not enough to become a millionaire but you're pulling people down by those comments saying you won't make any money, you can make some decent money if you sold them online
Comment from : Ozzys Aquatics

Where's the shop?
Comment from : E

Sorry for the bad news You are talking nickel and dime operation You won't pay your energy bill with what you suggested But I can tell you are very inexperienced You almost got close with mbuna but they won't really make any money To do that you have to go to more exotic fishbrCouple of years ago I made $2,000 to $2,500 a month breeding Tanganyikan fish For an example a Cyathopharnyx Foai-Sibwesa fry will sell for $50 to $60 each Females carry from 10 to 20 Cyathopharnyx foai-Purple Mbete same deal , Another is Brichards Red Stripe Tropheus, if they can get them out of the country My colonies never needed chasing with a net but would, when ready, come and lay in my hand to be disgorged of her fry Yeah, you need 100 to 150 gallon tanks but google a picture They are not your feeder guppiesbrbrSorry mate There is a difference between kids playing and professional fish breeders You are not in that league Save your money and buy some beautiful fish

If a Pet Shop Franchise is How Much Investment(issit something like this?)?
Comment from : Muhammad Anas Khairulnizam Only

I once bred Bristlenoses and my trustee shopkeeper accepted the batch She spent some years selling all of them, they were in the dozens I also have bred Guppies and Platies, but Bristlenoses are probably the best fish to breed for profit: they take care of their offspring, and the latter is very easy to feed - I threw them bleached vegetables, albeit actually their favourite was Giant Swordplant (Echinodorus grisebachii) leaves, luckily the plant was big enough it managed curbing the damage and regrow
Comment from : TenorCantusFirmus

Endlers are good - theres hardly any on the Gold CoastbrKribensis are easy to breed and look after their babies really well Theyre also adorable they sort of 'bounce' around the bottom of the tankbrElectric Yellows are also easybrbrHigh Quality Shrimp - blue dream, bloody marys Snowballs etc are really good to breed and sell
Comment from : Carene C

You should focus on rare fish and try to breed them common fish that you find in all fish stores are not a good idea I wish you the best in your project 💯💯💯
Comment from : Karl Joseph

I've accidentally bred some fish, but I consider myself pretty lucky Got a pretty decent relationship with our lfg, and he just gives me credits for other supplies I buy from his store brWhat does everyone think of breeding birchirs?
Comment from : Mandie Smith

The third fish that you've mentioned, I can buy 10 of it in just 1$😅😅
Comment from : ASSER

Also on Endlers can they breed with normal female guppies? I can only source male Endlers locally here
Comment from : Mark Cummings

How are you breeding bristle noses? I have two in my community tank yet they neevr breed
Comment from : Mark Cummings

I have a group of albino sterbai I’m working on getting to breed I live in Noosa but go to brisbane white often (I also have long fin and short fin bristlenoses, albino peppered corys, decent grade yellow neocaridina shrimp, mixed endlers, and golden pencilfish, and I have apistogramma macmasteri and apistogramma panduro and I’m working on getting them to breeding size)

Dude! I just turned 65 and never really thought about breeding fish I am hooked on rainbows and I am finally on board to try to raise them because I can remember how many times there is nothing available at the LFS

My boss, I work at a fish shop, almost solely gives store credit which kinda sucks if youre looking for a bit of cash
Comment from : Tirtonegoro

I breed guppies and managed to breed a corydora

Comment from : Morris Greenbarger

I have kribensis and they are great to breed
Comment from : Hamilton Aviation

Hope all is going well with the new shop Would be awesome to be a local breeder for you, but I'm not quit at that stage yet Your videos are helping me get there tho :)

You forgot about the multi shell cichlid
Comment from : Ryan Walter

It is kind of what I suspected and it is actually sad that you make only very little on fish breeding and most income comes from creating content

I’ve been waiting for this updated list! I started into the hobby right around when you posted the first one of these videos and now I’m actually starting to get into breeding fish for profit
Comment from : Javi Montalvo

You are lucky to be in Australia In Europa You would not be able to get that much for fish
Comment from : Rafael Becker

Hello I am breeding Nannostomus mortenthaleri Now their is profit too Greetings from the Netherlands!
Comment from : Hans Harreveld

Great vid as usual When I was growing up, we bred Blue veil-tail guppies and sold to stores for $25-300/pair - in 1968! Specialization is the key People would call from across the state several years after we got out of the business
Comment from : Michael Fischer

I've seen that breeding with anoxic filtration it is easier
Comment from : Anthony

Thanks Nick😜 Great tips👍 Keeping it Fun🤩 Shop’s taking shape 🤪🐟🌿💋

You are so good-looking!
Comment from : Jean-Paul POTET

Are you going to sell online as I live in Stanthorpe and so I have to buy my fish online?
Comment from : Andre Lommerse

Been doing this for decades You cant beat the kiddie fish as I call them White Clouds, Cherry barbs, angels, tetras, cheaper corys etc They move Specialty fish once the people who want them have them they are slow moving I make a little bit and put it back into my hobby
Comment from : Boris The American

I breed a lot of discus and I can say that discus farming is hard, and not a reliable for short term, I breed 2 pair now and sometime the male fertelized the eggs sometime notbrI got more profit from breeding pleco(albino bs) and angelfish than Discus even tho discus sell for more they still harder to sell(at least in my area) and harder ro farmbrConclusion, breed those pleco, or livebearer with shrimp they are more profitable and way easier to farm and sell
Comment from : Ferdian Betta fish

Yay for African Cichlids! They are a great option! They are so easy to breed and popular I even accidentally bred mine and one of the fry grew up in my tank 😂
Comment from : Kaitys Cichlids

Great advice #fishiemon64 love your content
Comment from : fishiemon64

I mistakenly unintentionally read bristle nose coming out my ears!! I had a lot of different tanks and there was a Water accident from the city and all my beautiful Thailand imported guppies and the babies died! Hundred dollars gone But anyway so the fish that were left or my panda quarries and my bristle nose I put them all in a 55 gallon and they were happy to meet each other oh my gosh!
Comment from : Presouz

My pandas sadly passed away in the last 3 months I miss them a lot and really want to breed some and document it! Glad to see they are on your list!
Comment from : Oakharts

Great video can't wait to see your shop Just got some peppermints and I'll get some more when you open Best of luck
Comment from : shawn craib

I'm not convinced that your average LFS or pet shop will pay you any more for high end rare strain guppies than they will for bog standard mutts From my (admittedly limited) experience 99 of customers buying guppies just want healthy colourful fish to put in a community tank They don't care that what they are looking at is some super-duper strain that only half a dozen people on the planet have got, they are not going to pay any more than they will for mutts
Comment from : andy stokes

Out of curiosity, are you breeding Starlight Ancicstrus? And if you are, would you ever consider shipping out to the US? It is literally impossible to find any in the states and the only place I can find is some insane seller on ebay asking $80 per 125" juvenile, or $500 for a sub-adult male
