Start Making Money Today! Guide to Selling Aquarium Plants

‎ Thinking of selling aquarium plants for profit?

I started selling my orange neocaridina shrimp for $30 for 10 shrimp. I have already earned $120 in 4 days 😅 I have way over 200 shrimp and they breed like crazy. I’m a student, so this is a lifesaver

Selling plants is a great way for me to keep investing in the hobby. I sold trimmings for a few months randomly. Then I used the money I made to buy a few tanks and supplies for growing plants and breeding shrimp!

Thank you for the free knowledge! Here in the Philippines, aquatic plant businesses boom'd during the pandemic, almost all local fish shops, even general pet shops sell aquatic plants now!

I just starting breeding some uncommon orange tuxedo koi guppies. They are absolutely gorgeous and I’m so excited to watch the fry grow. I’ll probably be selling them for $8-$10 CAD for fully grown adults. It’s nice to get a little revenue in to support the hobby. I already have buyers lined up for when they’re fully grown.

First ❤ thanks Cory for the positive information!!

I definitely got duckweed from you from one of my plant purchases, Cory. Like you said, it's impossible to avoid in your situation. It would have been easy to mitigate early on had I wanted to, but I kinda like the look of duckweed.

Thanks for this video. I feel like my local area could use some good, local plant growers.

[Antifan]

Perfect timing on this video topic. My Amazon sword is making new ones like crazy!

[rachelwitherell]

Yay! Can't wait to start the new video.

I was wondering what kind of containers you use and size. Also what other kind of container can you say will hold up reliability for inside use?

[plantlover]

I paid for my whole aquarium hobby by selling plants!

Hey Cory if I were to grow my plants in a tank with plenty of shrimp and an assassin snail or two would that help keep them free of algae and snails?

[blackosprey]

I'm getting tidy chunks of money from the extra subwassertang from my display tanks. I'm hoping they can eventually pay for my basic hobby expenses.

I love gardening, I would love to have an in depth video about how to plant trimmings.
cause sometimes i've bought plants from the store and put them in my tank just to die.
so i feel like i'm not doing something right, do i need the planters cups?
or should i put it in the substrate, or float it?
it's rough cause there are so many plants but when i go to petsmart most of the time the person there can't explain what kind of conditions it would need.

I think I’ll set up a 10 gallon with java moss and shrimp. That’s a great tank to help me get a bit of money for my hobby. 👍

I thought I was watching an old video, the camera angle of you throws me back

[PaulZyCZ]

I've got a large planted tank and I'm setting another smaller tank just for plants I'm going to sell/give away. Bleach bath (need to find out ratio and how long), week or two of quarantine and ready to go.

There's a forum and few other places I can sell them, but I think even LFS nearby wouldn't be against if I brought few giant vals or some fully coloured stem plants like Hygrophila Polysperma or Rotala Rotundifolia.

[account-not-found]

I might do this. I have been looking to move into something different and I am here in the area. Also considering ornamental shrimp.

Hey 😀
Do you have any future plans to visit Australia? I'm sure there are lots of us that would love to hear you speak and maybe bring some products to sell 😉
