That's cool. If month old fish had any retail value this would be easy.
I know right! This is my first time trying to breed for profit, so it will be exciting if this works out. I'm also getting shrimp too. But I also have to focus on stuff like school lol

I am retired. You need a lot of free time on your hands to sell common live-bearers for even a small profit after all expenses are factored in. You'll saturate your local market quick and be forced to sell fish for pennies. That would be fine if you didn't need a bunch of tanks and supporting equipment to grow them to adult. My breeding stock is excellent quality, but there are only so many people that will pay big prices for live-bearers, or any fish for that matter. Shrimp are easier, and also popular plants that are easy to grow. Good luck. You'll learn a lot about the hobby in any event.
