I have a few questions about breeding. I have several batches of baby true perculas. Mom and dad are wild caught. If I’m selling them to a local fish store, how much should I expect to get for each baby. I’m pretty sure I paid $80 for the original pair.
I also am getting to the point of too many tanks of clowns. I was trying to think of a way to house the hatches together but separate. I was thinking of a 40 gallon breeder split into 3 or 4 sections w/acrylic and window screening separating the sections and a hob filter in the section with the oldest hatch ( 3 months ) Does anyone have experience with this or any other ideas?
Thanks

Most perc at my lfs sell for $20-23. I would expect you to sell them for about $8-12 apiece. Most stores like a to double there money.

Quantity will bring money because of the number and rarer morphs will bring the the big bucks. Ie lightning maroon clowns, snowflake clowns, platinum clowns
