Starting a fish business? I'm wondering if starting an at-home fish breeding/selling business is a viable option for me in a couple years. I've collected quite a few tanks that could be breeders, etc. and I've become quite knowledgeable about fish over the past 15 years or so, but I want to make sure that I can actually do this while making a few bucks (obviously I'm not looking for a get-rich-quick scheme...I've had fish my whole life and this would be a great way for me to continue to have fish, while hopefully bringing in enough money to support my fish hobby/obsession). First off, what types of fish are the best selling/most popular fish on the market? How hard is it to sell to people online and to pet stores? I've already sold a few of my swordtails and guppies that I've raised to one of my local pet stores and got quite a bit in-store credit, which I was fine with. What would I need to get started with my fish operation? How many tanks (approx)? Any other information? Thanks! |
