    Havent mastered the art of clownfish raising unfortunately, though i should have higher chances with this clutch (largest spawn to date)

    As for the phyto my current set up produces 2 extra liter, if i sell it within a weeks time great otherwise it goes in my DT

    But i will get to a point where ill sell some clowns, but it will be far ahead in the future, first dozen i plan in keeping in my 50 gallon (assuming its possible)

    Gratz! too bad no matter how much python you sell, you'll always be in debt within the hobby. lol

    Have you tried RBTA's? mine split about once every month or two, usually around tennis ball size, and I sell them for 30-40$ each.

    amen to that! but still any little step is a step none the less. I seem to be incapable of keeping RBTA but i do have an orange one that split this summer, both are doing great and should it do it again i shall consider selling them. how much you reckon an orange one is worth?

    Apparently you're selling pythons instead of phyto. lol
    Depends on your sales pitch. Label it as a rare orange BTA as some vendors do and you could get much more. But in all honesty, its just a color morph of the RBTA so it should be the same if not more.
    Rose bubble tip anemone, 2" one typically goes for 65-99$
    Awesome, feed it a decent amount and you will be rewarded :)
