I'm looking to set up my own store selling fish.. working on it in my basement right now. then going to upgrade to store..

I wanna go big.. make people go WOW! :nilly::nilly::nilly:

petsmart is only good when their danios are on sale for $1.
 
u open up a store let me know, id definatly drive to c good quality fish. most of the time i dont buy right then but plan ahead and find a way to work it in eventually. unfortunatly in the move i lost my 75 and 55 gallon tank so im kinda confined to a 10 and soon a 20 if i can get it up and runnin
 
I have a 125 for sale... :)

Also have a 50 tall...

Do you have aim, yahoo, or text? better than back and forthing.. PM me.
 
Even though a lot of people don't believe in Wikipedia, this is what they say, "Koi have been accidentally or deliberately released into the wild in every continent except Antarctica. They quickly revert to the natural coloration of common carp within a few generations. In many areas,"

That's more than likely because they inner breed with common carp..

Japanese koi breeders have been breeding koi in mud ponds for generations upon generations, and they don't revert back.. and mud ponds are natural- they just don't have common carp.
 
"koi are ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens." this is als a quote from wikipedia, so could definatly understand how if released into the wild and cross bred with their non domesticated counterparts could revert back but the koi im speaking of are most likely just on generation because they are all about the same size
 
one generation*
