Currently I have about 150-200 fry. They are about 1 month old, and a new batch about 5 days old. Does anyone know about how much a pet shop will pay for a quarter sized angles fish?

You should try calling the different pet stores in your area to see what they would be willing to pay. Good luck!!

I was hoping to know what the going rate is, If they think that I am inexperienced (which I am) I may not be able to get as good of a price. There is an angle fish forum, I'll try there too. Thank you for the luck, I'm going to need it!

Try to contact a local breeder in your area or find one in the internet and chat with them if you are doubtful as to how much they will pay for your angelfish. Just out of curiosity, how do you bred your angelfish? Kindly give me some detailed advice on this.

I asked on of the fish store I go to. He said he pays about $1.00 per fish. To breed angles, you start with about 5-7 angle fish. When their body is about the size of a half dollar they are of age to breed. This is about 8mo old. They will then start proctecting an area of the tank and chase any other fish away from that area. You would want to place a piece of slate rock on a 45 degree angle leaning on the side of the tank. They will lay eggs on the slate. I remove the eggs and put them in another tank with fungiside medician. In two days they start to wiggle, 5 days they become free swimming, 7-8 days you start to feed them baby brine shrimp 3x's a day. You must keep the tank clean and do water changes everyday! Check out http://www.awforum.net/anglefish/default.asp?CAT_ID=1 There is alot of good information from breeders on this site. Good luck
