Breeding project

Hello guys I was thinking to start a breeding cichlid project I got 1ft tank for couple breading and a 3ft tank to keep the fry.

But my big question is south Africa have market for home breeding projects?

I will like to make some money with my hobby.

Of course I will breed fish with quality.

Can you guy's please give me some advice?

 

hi there.if you wanna start a home breeding project,you must make sure you have a market for the babies,meaning,someone who will take it off your hands.some local pet shops will sell you whatever you need but will not support you with the sale of your fish.i really think this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!.you will not make money with your hobby.trust me.all you will do is make your hobby self sufficient in the sense that whatever money you make will fund your hobby.period.you will also get people who will haggle you for price but will spend almost 5 times that amount at a pet shop.trust me.if breeding fish is your hobby,keep it like that.what ever little money you make is a bonus.trust me.i have done it for almost 20 yrs.the only reward is the self satisfaction of the entire process

Thanks @timothy m I understand you point what I want is make my hobby self sufficient I don't want to make this my job

 

Just do it. It's a learning curve like every new thing one tackles. So just go ahead and see how it pans out.
