Coursework Aid (worth reading through)

Sometimes you have to show how a relatively good idea that people think is cool can actually fail or they'll never know and they will end up a statistic in the failed column.

I myself don't particularly want to go swimming with fish that could put my whole foot (or more) in they're mouth (and I swim in the gulf/Florida ), but I love to watch native fishes that big swimming.

Well, I guess we'll know next week what the prof. says.

I suggest you go LOW TECH to start off with. By this I mean dont go for large tanks with South American monsters, instead go for knee high wadding ponds full of super tame fish you can handfeed. Koi and catfish and perhaps hundreds of algae eaters. In Japan for example people pay money to dangle their feet over coffee have their feet nibbled on by fish. Its mostly a novelty to remember and talk about but it is prompted as a way to remove dead skin!! ie Pushed as a health thing.

The other obvious advantage besides huge setup cost savings is you will be able to attract a much wider demographic. Oldies, young kids, people who cant swim, etc. People can do this in an hour as opposed to a half day if going underwater is involved. And if your setup fee is small, your entrance fees can be small too and you do need repeat business to make it a success.

If/when this phase gets off the ground successfully, you can expand.
