Re: Come on, people now
Wow, a lot of fish people here. For many years, I had a fish import business, and sold them to pet shops. 1400 male bettas a week from Bangkok, 100,000 common gold fish a week. We had over 200 varieties spawn, mostly accidentaly. I would get big Angels in, from Hong Kong, and I could see that there were several females that were full of eggs, so I'd put a piece of slate in the tank, and the next morning I'd usually have eggs. One time, I even Had a double header; one pair on each side of the slate.
Tried breeding the bettas (my favorite) myself, and we put 100 pair together, in plastic shoe boxes, twice a week. They had 3 days to either do it, or they were separated, and a new pair was put in . We had about a 60% success rate, ranging from several dozen to several hundred. However, when we reviewed all expenses, it was cheaper to bring them in from Bangkok.
