    A bit more serious stuff first..


    Consider this a few moments more.:wondering:

    Packing, Oxygenation, packaging material, Driving to and from airport
    Is that all part of POSTAGE?
    I can't see cichlids sent via postage except babies, or Young , or Dwarves, and even then it's costly to prepare.

    Where is line drawn for "postage" costs?

    What will you do with those you cant POST..?
    ie EXCESS to the "community needs" ?

    You haven't listed your
    level of experience ,tank sizes, quantity, water quality, volume of water, chemistry , filtration, equipment, premises available.

    How THEN, can anybody recommend ANYTHING !!??
    It would be irresponsible.
    Same as asking "What fish can I keep?"

    We must know you what you CAN KEEP, and then BREED .
    We must ALSO assume you can GET the initial broodstock, or grow up your own ...ALL pose problems in themselves.

    Make it easier on yourself and declare what you have...and picture becomes easier for all to see.

    Otherwise this just seems like another veiled "Gauging interest" and "Commercial" type of thread.

    Well, at least if you look at recipe ingredients of:
    MANY Fish, MANY Tanks and SOME MONEY changing hands.....

    I admire your intent, and attitude.
    I hope it grows with you....:cool:

    Couldn't agree more... Well said Altum.

    I breed Dwarf Cichlids and it's not an easy thing. I currently have 23 running tanks and to keep up with all of them, it takes time. My wife thinks too much time...

    Money is the thing that makes the world go round. If you can make some cash, do it. It's more for reward than anything else. The reward makes you do it properly from the start. Even if that reward just covers your food costs.
