. I need to keep tanks to a minimum until I move and I keep setting them up. It was a standard ram and electric blue, they produced amazing fry and I made plenty of money from them. I got a good price from a friend for them and half the fry from the next 2 batches. I know he will look after them but feel like I did the wrong thing as I was so attached to them. But hohum what can I do now. Needed the money for the mortgage fund. Sorry just needed to vent. On the plus side half my rasporas clan also went to a well kept community tank. I had far too many.Its been a sad day for me.

Its been a sad day for me.
I had to let my last breeding pair of ram cichlids go today . I need to keep tanks to a minimum until I move and I keep setting them up. It was a standard ram and electric blue, they produced amazing fry and I made plenty of money from them. I got a good price from a friend for them and half the fry from the next 2 batches.

Bittersweet I guess eh? Hope they all do well in their new homes 
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

The main thing is I can keep an eye on them. He know not to mess it up, it will take 2 batches of fry to break even. He is really gonna have to work for them.

Re: Its been a sad day for me.
Life happens, as they say. Gotta keep those bills paid, though. I'm going to have to put my Mustang up for sale so I can make some ends meet, catch up on some debts and move across the river. I hate to do it but I really don't have any other choice.

I know how you feel.
I had to sell/give away my fishes and tanks when we moved to Canada. It was soo sad having to leave behind fish who had been part of my life for upto 8 or so years not to mention trying to vet potential owners for my beloved puffers. I prefered to give them to people who'd look after them properly rather than make a quick buck..
