Batch of 10 fry? Depends on the size. There is a point after which losses tail off and growth is fast. You are gonna want that age/size, but the cost of getting them there is a lot of work.Hi, I would cautiously inquire what a batch of 10 would cost... I respect the fact that whatever you charge would be at a loss and I’m not trying to lowball. But if the price was right I might bite.
Heck, me and I’d bet most breeder will basically give you a batch of newborns, but your losses might be horrific, especially considering shipping hazard. OTOH survival rates from older parents isn’t unreasonable.
I’d say 40-100 “might” be worth shipping. You would need BBS hatched 72hrs previously and gut loaded with enrichment.
I don’t mind taking a small loss in fish for a fellow hobbyist, your dime for shipping tho, which won’t be cheap.
Nor will that can of BBS eggs, enrichment, hatching equipment, formalin, et et..... Expect to go through a 150G bucket of salt for a batch of fry. I’d say 100 fry could/should , turn into 30-80 juvenile/sub-adults ...
problem is: good luck selling those for a profit
