Living World Pet Store
About how much do fish breeders make selling to a pet store?
I was just surfing and have come across people who are getting into the breeding business. So it got me wondering.
Are there any special permits you need in your part of the world in order to sell to your pet store?
Has anyone who is doing this actually made an income good enough to breed fish for a living?
I think it’s interesting.
I myself would never have the patience to breed fish.
And for the private breeders who don’t sell to fish stores:
Do you find yourself checking the knowledge that the person buying the fish has before accepting the payment?
Especially with the typs of fish that have silly ideas wrapped around them.
Like Betta’s living in a vase with a plant on top.
Or that koi’s can live comfortably in a 20 litre tank. (I have heard of people actually doing this.)
Yes you need special permits but that depends on where you live and the regulations regarding state and local government. If you are breeding to sell to stores (whole sale volume) you not only need to be registered, inspected and licensed to do so.
Yes I make a good living breeding show and breeding stock of koi and goldfish.
I don’t sell to fish stores. No I do not check the knowledge of the people I sell to since most of them are breeders as well. I do not sell to unregistered or unlicensed groups or people.
