Thinking about breeding.

[35ppt]

I just feel like fish stores tend to treat fish poorly and I think it would be a shame for the fish to go to them. Or maybe LFS treat them well and its the large pet store chains and wholesalers that I should avoid. Thoughts?

Depends on the store. I know of a couple I wouldn't want to bring fish to. I was usually able to sell off the fry on the local forum and often times had batches spoken for before they were even ready.

Welcome...

Fine plan. New species being brought into captive breeding all the time. Would be cool to be first on one

The good thing is that you can choose which vendors to sell too. In my experience it is maiu the chain stores that hire people with little to no experience in the job they are paying them for. LFS's is the way I would go.

Welcome! Not a sw breeder but formerly a freshwater breeder for a living. Let me tell you it aint easy and tbh it can suck all the fun out of it. If you enjoy it, great! But make sure you're still having some fun or else why ruin a hobby you love ;)
