I had no idea that that's a separate business
I am fairly certain that the trout farm in our valley bred their own
yeah, they must have
I remember the guy walking a friend of ours through it and explaining something about breeding basins and rearing basins and holding basins
I should have never moved
and damn! my brother couldn't wait to get rid of that house

You're absolutely right, it's not necessarily a separate business. Here, the farmers and the breeders are separate most of the time, because the farmers aren't usually big enough to breed their own fish. So they buy their fish from breeders and just raise them from about 12-24 month old fish to adults.

Some of the fish are bought by organizations that want to improve the population in a lake or a river, but they usually buy eggs, newly hatched or fish that are 1-2 years old. Garter-sized fry would be less than a year old.

hm
not that I need them right now
but I should find out where the science teacher gets his

Hey guys, I just remembered something.
Every year there's a fishing show in MI and there's a game where you can catch and keep trout!
Maybe next year I could snag a few and try to breed them, or ship them to some one who can breed them for us!

Lochow Ranch - we're proud of our ponds

and when they grow too big for the snakes - I've got some lovely recipes

how come they won't spawn in Texas?
and will they spawn in neighbouring states?

I feed my Ribbon snake guppies & platys, is that OK?

Lori P · 01-19-2008, 06:26 PM

Guppies and Platys are good. :-) Those are two fish mentioned over and over, from the little reading I did, that get no negative remarks.

SerpentGirl · 01-19-2008, 08:12 PM

That is good news. Thanks.

Ya know... I've got a second idea.
Convicts are readily available, and I've personally had experience with them being prolific.
Doesn't it sound easy to setup a 10 gallon unheated tank with a minor type of filtration and breed convict cichlids for food? I've never heard of them containing thiaminase.
