jimmybcool Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Wow. Amazing shots. And beautiful fish. That guy is a magician with a camera. When I was young I raised Betas for resale at the pet shop. Yeah, did I make a profit? Well I had visions of doing so. They sold them for $2 each and a clutch contained 400 fry (young fish). So my silly 8 year old mind wrapped around $800 as profit. What i didn't calculate was the fact I would produce no where near 400 adult fish. AND only the males sold for $2. AND the shop wasn't going to pay me $2 for fish they would sell for $2. I learned a lot about business in that venture even though in the end I didn't make much. Valuable lesson. And I still remember the wonder of watching them mate and raise the young. Well, the male raised them anyway. He killed her in mating. Well, and of course once the fry started swimming he started eating them so the watching ended right there. Another unexpected cost in the venture.
