It probably wouldn't be worth it. I know it's probably not even worth ot for me, but I really enjoy working with them. They really only pay for themselves if you can sell off your excess. I breed on a fairly small scale, but am looking to upgrade They aren't all that demanding as far as time goes. I probably spend 5-10 minutes a day checking on everyone, topping off food, water etc. Cleaning days are the biggest time killer. I spend about 45 mins once a week to clean a 5-tub rack, a large grow out tub and 3 asf tubs.
