Breeding Fish for Profit Update, 9 months into trialling the Fish Room

[@MyAfricanCichlidTank]

fantastic setup! looking forward to see how you get rid of all those fish and the expansion!

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@MyAfricanCichlidTank thanks mate, yeah a busy few months ahead I think.

G'day Mick, another cracking video! Great to see the room has turned a profit - even if it’s modest, it’s all heading in the right direction with everything you’ve got growing in the tubs and tanks. 🐠 It’s inspiring to see how much effort you’ve put in and the variety you’ve got going. We’ve been following along with interest because we’re looking at starting something similar (on a much smaller scale) in our spare room. We’ve got a bunch of planted tanks scattered around the house with discus, clown loaches, rams, swordtails, corys, tetras and guppies etc. Lately, we’ve been swapping some of our guppy offspring at the local shop for fish food and plants (no cash yet), but with the guppies breeding like… well, guppies... we figured it’s time to give it a bit of a go! Planning to start small with guppies, cories and shrimp while we slowly gather the gear - tanks, shelves, pumps etc.. We’re just south of Adelaide, so if you’re keen on a closer-to-home test run for deliveries, give us a shout! We’d be happy to help out and throw in some cash as well. Thanks again for sharing the journey - your setup is both a goal and an inspiration. Looking forward to the next update. Keep up the awesome work! 🎉

@MJAquariums thanks mate, yeah would be great to send to Adelaide first for a bit of a test run while I find my feet. Being in Adelaide you should do well with the Fish ships and private sales for sure, if your ever up this way for any reason let me know and pop in for a coffee.

[@MJAquariums]

@@Fin2FinAquariums Thanks, Mick! Really appreciate the invite and the encouragement. We’d definitely be keen to help out with a test run when you’re ready - sounds like a great way to sort out the logistics before scaling up. And we’ll absolutely take you up on that coffee if we’re ever up your way - would be awesome to see the fish room in person and have a yarn. Same goes if you’re ever down Adelaide way - happy to show you our current tanks and the new little setup once it’s up and running.

❤ the swordtails

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@tomwilliams7890 yeah I love my swordtails, have to many now then see a new variety and think yeah I'll get them lol.

[@ranijurgensen7896]

Happy to take some off your hands fish for test delivery. Im in Brisbane .

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@ranijurgensen7896 no worries, once I'm ready to freight I'll do a rest run and send up to Brisbane.

[@VictorFaCose]

I saw that in some of your tanks you have rocks as a soil layer and in others you don't, can I ask you why, what it depends on and what are the benefits of having them and not having them?

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@@VictorFaCose no real reason, I had substrate in most more for the looks than anything, I am going to trial some woth sand and some woth nothing just bare bottom and see how it goes, the bare bottom is certainly easier for maintenance I believe bit doesn't look as nice.

[@VictorFaCose]

@@Fin2FinAquariums ok ty, im new to this world and im trying to understand the best I can

[@markfranklin8831]

👍 that's what I would like to do. I would have to sale on line. Pets stores in America for some reason don't really want individuals fish. You have a great setup. Thanks for sharing

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@markfranklin8831 thanks mate, yeah I really need to get a website and ship around the state at worst and to other states even better.

[@teck354]

Smash the like and subscribe button,this dudes got fish to feed!!

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@teck354 thanks mate

👍🏻👍🏻

[@deebocee6348]

Any way you can turn off the air while you film? The audio is always rough, though your voice is coming through better on this video.

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@deebocee6348 yeah I certainly could, I'll try and remember next video I have ordered a little microphone so hopefully get that soon also.

[@VictorFaCose]

I live in Italy and here just for 2 months I get to pay 140$ just for electricity :( Wish it was cheaper

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@VictorFaCose it's crazy prices over here also, if I ran heaters in all the tanks I wouldn't be able to afford it, heating the room is far more economical for the amount of tanks I have. I do have a 10kw solar system on the house that helps a fair bit in summer not so much in winter.

[@VictorFaCose]

@@Fin2FinAquariums ty for the advise ;)

[@damianmartin15]

to do list : 1) sell more fish, 2) sell more fish, 3) sell more fish, then more grow out tanks 🤣

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@damianmartin15 🤣 I'm terrible mate I have so much I could move on and haven't even advertised it 🤦‍♂️

[@muhilham5394]

Meet

[@chefsteve8381]

If you need a test delivery for Melbourne I'd be happy to help and I'd donate the money to charity 😊

[@Fin2FinAquariums]

@chefsteve8381 yeah mate when I get myself sorted I'll let you know and send a few fish and see how they go.
