Captive bred fish: Please Respond

[StirCrazy]

Hey Troy, I would be very interested in a actualy cost breakdown to raise say 10 fish to sale size from Andrew. I know there are expensed like salt for water and another filter and such, but that is all one time purchases (aside from the salt and food) so the problem is how do we factor that cost into the price of a fish. If you spend 300.00 on equipment for a grow out tank, then sell 10 fish you have to ask 30.00/fish to recover your cost but if you sell 1000 fish then it only costs 0.30/fish..

but ya it would be interesting to get some accurat costs (not including the equipment) on raising say 10 fish. the reason I say not including equipment is that is a start up cost and while it will be factored into the final sale price it is not a direct cost. what I am looking at is cost of food, salt, power, ect...
