Default Planning on Start my own LFS

Hey maybe the articles aren't perfect but they are an ok start.
Theres also a lot of them on many parts of the hobby/trade
Where I work we have 100 or so tanks and each one is seperately filtered
dam I love mass air tho

The key is to break even. That break even point is quite high, but the
rewards once you do break free are high as well.
YOU NEED TO STOCK BREAD AND BUTTER SPECIES
it's just how you make cash unless you can support a specialist store and
really theres not many of them

That said what is your background in the fish trade?
If your experienced then trade shows are the go for info
jus gotta get invited
lol


Hey, sorry, I guess I came across wrong.
I think this article was a good start, I just wanted to point out that
anyone interested in starting a LFS needs to explore all the facts and
opinions out there.
And making a niche selling healthy bread and butter species is
certainly the way to go.
If customer A goes to your store to buy a guppy and it lives, but goes
to the large store with central filtration and it dies, where is he
going to go again?
And yea mass air is the way to go!
