Anyone have a bunch of unwanted fry?
« on: May 31, 2013, 06:28:37 AM »
Anyone have a bunch of unwanted fry to toss in my small plastic pond for the summer? (probably 200 gallon)

I just would like to try... but honestly... dont want to spend money for the fry to be blunt.

You have no fry of your own? Breeders?

We arent really into the whole breeding thing.  Our fish are more pets than anything else.

That being said... we have about 10 Ruby Red fry and about 10 Albus fry.  No way my wife would let me put them outside!   ;D




Just thought I would toss this out there is someone has a bunch of unwanted fry to get rid of.  I was at someones house once that had a bunch of tilapia they didnt want.  Made me think I would give the question a try here.

I've got 40 hypo OB red zebras, 10 red tail shellers, 4 Paralabidochromis chromogynos piebald juvies going into my 220 gallon pond soon 😁

If my pink convicts spawn again soon (quite likely) you're welcome to some fry.

I haven't been pulling any fry from my New Worlds. I'll start paying attention & let you know when you can come grab some.
