so two of my cichlids bred about 2 months ago, i seperated them from the community with a tank divider to keep the parents from killing the other fish... now the fry have grown and i don't know what to do with them... one pet store said they'd take them, but they wouldn't give me any credit for them. that's good, but with over 100 babies, i'd like to get some kind of credit for them...
please help.

ps... how much should 120 baby fish be worth?

what kind of cichlids are they? lfs are usually not interested in fry--you would need to raise them up to about an inch and a half. but it also depends on what they are--it's hard to even give away convict fry.

sorry, guess i should have specified... the're convicts, but i don't know that they're still concidered "fry" right now the're about an inch long, and i plan on holding on to them for a few more weeks (untill the baby food runs out). I figure that i'll get more for them that way.
