The thing is I'd be willing to buy from you for that price for a couple males and females but you don't ship and these other breeders I've never talked to or know anything about their breeding lines just the individual fish and that means nothing when you look at genetics also I know ZZ flowerhorns are more often fertile then sterile but who knows when buying a breeder quality fish that money can be made on why would they sell it if nothing's wrong with it and it's capable of breeding already?? and sure if I can sell the fry or even get any for that matter to make the money back that would be great hell I'd be ok with making most of my money back and still being alittle in the hole but if none of the fry come out looking like the breeders or none of my breeders are actually breeders "sterile males". what I was thinking about doing was buying a large batch of fry raising them up then pairing them off and breeding but again some take up to 2 years to hit breeding age so that would Be useless also as far as breeding unless I got some fry from someone like you who has breeders at such young agesYou said you wanted show quality fish and doing an experiment. So you have to get high quality fish and don't come cheap. You can buy fry cheap like how I sell them but you never know the potential so you have to start out with a good quality one. Okay so one pair makes 100 and you sell the 100 at 20 bucks each that's 2,000 in profit per batch.
Yes tanks are cheap 40 bucks for 40 gallons. Doing filter is a few bucks. That's it all you need.
Every batch is different but out of my two dozen fish all them are stunners even females and the males are all huge kok. The females have bigger kok than most male fish I've seen.
Just like many things in like the Big kok don't come cheap
