Hm.... guess I'll just have to keep the door closed to raise the temp in the room for now until I get my designated breeding room

Hello, I'm going to be getting into breeding bettas for profit soon. I have a grow out tank, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to keep the containers warm when they area ready to be cupped. In the hopefully next half year or so, I'm going to be looking for a house with a...

I'd prefer something a bit more clear. Those tend to have a glaze look over them,

Hello, As I'm slowly starting up my business, I'm starting to breed fish that I can sell locally and online. Betta fish are one major one that I will specialize. I understand that they can have many babies and I want them all to have enough space for their temporary home. I was looking to get...

Lol good way to follow the thread. Smaller tanks on shelving would be more reasonable for me.

Hello! :fish: I am planning on opening up a specialty fish and reptile store. It was mentioned to me that I should start off with breeding and selling from home, which is probably a good idea for now since I'm looking to buy a new home next year. Once I get my house, I do have a plan to set up a...

That sounds like fun. How do I apply to the contest?

I actually ended up at the store that I bought the first one from and got another of the same type. Turned out to be a narrow lead temple plant. I thought that I had remembered it being a narrowed leaf something.

Do Java Ferns grow that big? Also, just being planted into the gravel instead of attached to something and has been growing like crazy.

I've got two plants that I really like in my tank, but I honestly can't remember what I bought, but would love to know what they are. First one I assume is a Fern, maybe narrow leaf? Has some wavy leaves, about 20 inches tall at the moment. Inside of a 60 gallon, taking about a third of the...

Rainbow Shiners would be my closest idea to a "cold water" schooling fish. Very pretty fish.

Totally didn't even see this reply until just now. Apologies. This is all great advice. I do agree it would probably be best to rotate fish available as well. I always found myself personally returning to stores that didn't just have the same fish every since time I went there. So it would help...

So I stupidly didn't realize there was a second page when I refreshed the page haha! I think it is a good idea to dip my toes into the salt water tanks. I'm just currently not in the situation to have more tanks. Hopefully, that'll soon change and I plan to start up a small one to get familiar...

I think it's a great idea to talk with a small business/financial advisor. I know it's the first 3 years of a business that are the testing one and sadly most don't make it to that point. I'm determined to get past that mark. I've been successful with my current business (self employed dog...

Competition is always going to be a difficult. I have been scouting out the local area. There is a Petsmart and Petco about 20 minutes from here, but I still haven't even decided on the actual location of the store. I honestly don't even consider them much competition. The two of them aren't run...

Yes, I have worked in fish stores for many years, and (aside from mostly dealing with managers and the such) I loved it. I plan to have a bit of the regular stock, then when I'm able to grab some oddballs here and there, that would be perfect. I know of auctions and such which might be good to...

Thanks for your reply. I've owned tanks for a good majority of my life and have worked with both fish and reptiles for at least 10 years. I'm most familiar with freshwater fish, but plan to educate myself more on salt water and expand down the line. I'd like to make an income I can live off of...

Hello. I have a decent bit of fish knowledge, but I am planning on opening up a specialty fish and reptile store in the near future and thought it would be a good idea to join on here to get some advice and maybe make some good connections. I plan on starting with just freshwater and then...
