Breeding shrimp for profit?

Alright, so I have around 20ish shrimp around 5 are berried. I am planing on selling online, I have more experience than many selling things online. I am very good at bargaining if for whatever reason I wanted to sell to a LFS to get fast cash or a trade of anything like that. I am again thanking everybody for their help and contributions towards my thread.

And to anybody, whatever age, if you tell me I can't make money doing this, My only response is; Watch me.

Also I bought some high end fancy guppies to breed, got them friday and one gave birth I have fry swimming around already.
 
FYI, when dealing with pet/fish stores, they are used to dealing with vendors. Some, like Petsmart or Petco have dealers that they contract with, and won't buy livestock from anyone else. Independent, or small chain stores are more likely to deal. However, they will likely want a contract for product availability and price per shrimp. If you go to a pet store with a bag/bucket/etc... full of shrimp, out of the blue, you will not get the reaction you're looking for. That is true for adults or juveniles.
 
I'm friends with the LFS, which is literally 1 mile away from my house. I go in around once a week and I know where they get all there fish from and everything, they go to get new fish around once a month. I wasn't planning on dealing with LFS to sell fish/shrimp.
 
So if I never add anything but clean water, they really shouldn't die off, no?
Or would eventual breeding of the same line cause it? I'd think that would be after a vast amount of generations.
