Oceanpro Aquatics - Leafy Sea Dragon

Leafy Sea Dragon

It costs $4 850!!!


And their information on Puffers is wrong, which leads me to believe that their information on everything might be a bit off.

Not to mention the spelling errors

Well buy the fish there and come here for information on them .

I guess that could work.

Of course. Maybe someday i can open my own temperate livestock supplier online.

And then when I'm older I'll go into business with the non-temperate species and we'll roll in our glory! (and money...)

Hahaha

You can be an east coast supplier and i could be a west coast one!

We have our business outline already!

Now we just need the proper facilities...

And Licenses.... Dammit, that means we need money.

Ha of course. I was tossing around the idea of possibly setting up 2-3 tanks and just selling anemones, crabs, and multiple inverts.

During university I'll probably set up a few breeders and such and sell the fry and plants/corals/anenomes to LFS for some extra money. Once I'm out of University I'll probably actually make it into a business. If you're still interested in a partnership between the East and the West then, we'll talk.

I was thinking something like LiveAquaria for Canada and Europe, but if you join in, we can include more for the West as well. Just sayin'

I can get the money for facilities too, or atleast the whole Eastern Facility. I can probably get a few dollars over to you for the Western Facility too. I have ways, my friend. Ways. (don't ask questions )

Anyways...

Yeah. I am planning on a facility somewhere in southern california that will ship to all the U.S. and possibly western canada. The business would be called TemperateAquaria. Together we could supply the U.S. Canada, & Europe!

I wonder how LiveAquaria was started.

Hoorah!

Hmm... Good question.

TemperateAquaria is a good name except I wanted to supply a few tropical species as well (puffers, boxfish, burrfish, clownfish, blennies, eels, tangs, tasslefish, sharks and a couple others I can't seem to remember at the moment). As well, some tropical inverts, corals and anemones.

So basically, it's a full marine stock-list. I may have to add a few freshwater species (puffers, eels and sharks) to that list too...

Hmm together we could operate TA and then you could also supply freshwater species under a different company name or just supply FW species as well as tropical marine under the name of TemperateAquaria.

I like the idea of a different company name. I think it would be easier for customers to grasp

Well, seeing as the new company would be supplying everything but temperate livestock I'd need a name that was reflective of the full stock-list... Help?

Um....were talking tropical FW and SW species?

Correct. And plants, corals, LR etc.

Well. Maybe TropicalAquaria? It sort of works together. TropicalAquaria & TemperateAquaria supplying you with tropical and temperate aquarium livestock.

TropicalAquaria & TemperateAquaria Supplying you with tropical and temperate aquarium livestock as well as everything in between!

We'll supply supplies too, right? (Food, Medications, filters, heaters and chillers, tanks, light fixtures, sumps, skimmers etc.)

Too bad we can't use the "ArriveAlive Guarantee." It's catchy...

Well i am not about equipment at the moment. Maybe later on. Right now i would just be supplying livestock and linking to drs. foster and smith for chillers.

Yeah, I'd definately start off with livestock too. That way we could create a trust (and gather enough worth) in order to bind a few contracts together with major suppliers and brands.

Agreed. I just need to start researching on the breeding habits of most sessile inverts as well as fish. My goal is to acquire species of temperate cowfish and breed them and try to get a american population circulating the U.S. so there not as expensive.

Same goes for me and Canada. Europe too, possibly.

I'd like to breed Clownfish too. The more expensive ones, preferably.

Yeah. At first i will most likely start an at home business having a room for breeding etc. and then once i make enough money buy a facility.
