Yeah, I do that too. It's a little more time consuming, chasing those teeny babies around and dragging them to the Sale Tank tab, but it's worth it in the long run. Only when they are getting close to maturity, do I even have to worry about them while in the Sale tank, because they don't sell until they reach maturity.

I try to buy the extra tank as soon as possible, so that I can keep one tank for breeders, one tank for keepers, and the Sale tank for babies and sell-offs.

When I was new in the game it was best to put all babies in the sell so i could make money when they grow and i dont have to move them around there already in the sale tank! FT rules!

I keep a breeder tank, too, and move the babies to the sale tank to make room for more (if you are quick, you can get them out before the next set hatches).

I did a quick bit of math to figure out how many pregnant fish I can have in one tank and still get the max. number of babies -- at first, with no magic help, the fish tend to have one baby apiece, so you can have 10 pregnant fish in one tank to get the max. If you have a little bit of help (one magic fish of fertility, or the plant of fertility), then the fishies have two babies, and you can only have 6 or 7 fish in a tank (depends on whether or not you have a seahorse, or if the magic fish of fertility is one of the pregnant fish).

In the max case, when the fish can have up to three babies, you can only have 5 adult fish in the tank if you want maximum fry in the end.
