Sold some fish Today

[goldenpuon]

Today I gave up 7 guppies I bred to a petstore and kept 3 (either 3 females or 2 females and 1 male.) I got $0.50 for each. It's hard but I know that I have to so I am not "overun". lol

I think I saw more fry so I will be getting them out tomorrow.

good for you!

Thanks Murdock! I caught the fry that were born yesterday. I found 3. The rest were probably eaten by the adults despite the plants that are in there.

Thanks again guys. Sorry I don't know but what is a "repore"? Is it short for "reputation"?

[bikeguy33]

it means to keep a good working relationship.....ie: if a fish or 2 is returned back to the fish store....offer to replace it free of charge with the next shipment to them. that way they see you are honest and sttand by your product....plus it lets them know you will continue to supply them with guppies....

Congrats Renee!!!

That would be a good idea if I were more available (if you mean giving them guppies every shipment they get). That petstore is at least 12 miles away and my mom would sometimes not want to drive out there. Plus I can't go every week when they get guppies. I don't know if I have that many guppies at a time that are big enough to sell. I'm not sure if that would work if I am understanding what you mean.

However, I think something else would work (if you weren't saying this already).I could say to them that I'd give more guppies to them every so often and then maybe they could give me 10 cents less per guppy than they give to whatever distributer they get theirs from. That way, they'd be saving by buying my guppies which are always in good shape. Then maybe they'd be tempted to buy more from me. (Sorry if I did not get what you are saying)
