These are some of the first fish I ever had, but it's been a long while... They are veracious plant eaters, which is why any tank I've ever had them in has featured rock work and plastic plants. Still though, I have heard there are some tougher leaved plants they won't eat, but I'm imagining...

My gosh, what beautiful fish! One thing I've always wondered about though, is what size tank you'd need for a small group, like say six or so?

Altum Angels maybe? If I was gonna go with just angels, I'd probably pick those. :)

I guess what I've seen might just be irresponsible fish keeping? Okay, well I suppose I should pick one or the other then...

Hey all, I currently have a 77 Gal aquarium I'm looking to set up, and I'd like to try something new. I've never kept discus, and only a few strains of angels, and these guys look like they'd make great centerpiece fish. I'll admit I'm incredibly rusty, haveing been on hiatus from the fish...

Courtenay, B.C. On Vancouver Island. :)

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that. :(

I assume it pertains to the classic expression "beating a dead horse". I never got into the horse thing, not very good at riding them. :P

Seems a bit excessive. xD

I got no idea how that works, maybe... Thanks for the link, I'll have a look at it. I've been researching tirelessly, what I'm having trouble with is the actual business plan part. More so with regards to putting it in writing.

hm following? I'm located on Vancouver Island, on the west coast of Canada.

I'd like to think an honest approach could work. I'd rather build clientele based on excellent product and service. That's an excellent idea! Locally 'grown' stock is always a great sales pitch too. That's what I planned to do. Space is more the concern there. But yes, I think the equipment...

I wouldn't go into debt, or even consider going into debt. Thanks, I'll direct them this way. ^_^ I think the best way to prepare for this would be to acknowledge that the internet has no borders, and you're in direct competition with every site out there.

That's exactly what I think fort. I'll probably relocate to a bigger city, even if it costs more initially I think it'd be worth it. I'm conflicted on the fish only side of things, and sometimes wonder if a better idea would be a general pet shop. But then the past shows that pursuing synergies...

I'm curious if anyone here has ever done, or thought of doing this? I've always had the dream of owning my own LFS, ever since I was a little kid, and I'm now in a position where I may be able to do it soon. If I do it though, I want to make sure I'm prepared... What kind of things do you guys...

They sure look nice in the videos I've seen, and I definitely agree with the dyed and tattooed fish, it's beyond me why anyone would carry those...

My only concern with oscars is them eating some of the smaller fish I like! There sure seem to be a lot of discus strains, having a hard time deciding which is my favorite! Then again, I'm not the biggest fan of man made strains, but the wild fish look so dull in comparison... There's also...

Thanks Wendi. :) A lot of seemingly healthy fish died too though... I've always wanted something around the 200 Gal mark or bigger, but we'll have to see how much space I end up with. I have a 77 Gal sitting underneath the stairs as we speak, so I may just have to settle for that. Guess it all...

Greetings fellow aquarium enthusiasts, To give a bit of back story, I spent most of my childhood with at least one aquarium in my life. When I was probably about eighteen or nineteen I had some ich break out amongst my cardinal tetras. I was totally absent minded and one day drastically over...
