You could easily sell them. I have never seen really small 2-3" odoe pikes for sale and I know many people who would buy one including myself. You can easily get 25-30 dollars a piece. Do the math.

I had a 2.5 inch odoe last year really cute little guy paid I believe $35 for him. Harley I don't think you won't have much trouble selling em. Plus people will be making growout threads of "Harley's baby odoe" you'll get to keep track of and see the fry develop!

Great achievement! And you should definitely sell them odoes are wonderful fish and I'd doubt you'd have trouble selling them. You can atleast try and if it doesn't work out as planned give them away or like you said initially use them as feeders. But great job breeding them once again.
Alright, MFK: I'm gonna go for it: I removed the parents from the tank yesterday.
Now it's up to the fry to grow, and I am counting on you guys that they all find good new homes.
Juvenile odoe, hatched and raised in New Jersey tap water. If that doesn't mean they're tough, I don't know what does! No worries about disease or parasites as one has with wild-caught fish. Having gown up in a tank, they're hopefully also less skittish. Last but not least, we don't have to fly in our fish from Africa. One step closer to sustainability in our hobby.
The fry are growing nicely. Most are around 3/4'' now. There are one or two mean brutes at 1'' that have started to prey on their siblings. Considering the trouble I had catching the parents, I'm dreading having to catch these guys out...

I've had folks here say they wanted hundreds of the fry I was growing out. Turned out only 1 member actually followed through on the blue cats and flatheads I had. Hence the main reason for my large AST and Mata mata pair. These were my cull exterminators after I provided as many as I could to area farm ponds.
