Hello Everyone
Posted: 16 Sep 2014, 17:27
Just wanted to post a little info about me and my business. My name is Andres and I have breeding and producing fish for the past 20 years. I have worked on numerous Florida fish farms over the years. I started off raising African Cichlids then new world Cichlids followed by tetras, barbs and cyprinids and now mostly catfish and loaches.
Primarily we were selling wholesale but are now working on selling retail and direct to stores. Some fish we are raising have the potential to be large volume fish but others are more suited for retail. Some of longest working projects are cardinal tetras and clown loaches both of which we are currently producing on the farm. We believe in sustainable aquaculture. We also realize that in the near future several unique habitats for some of them most loved fish in the world will disappear. We are trying to produce fish that may not be available from the wild anymore.
I am looking forward to learning and sharing experiences from this great community of Planetcatfish.com

Just want to say that I think what you're doing is awesome. I have always wanted to be able to work with fish...breeding or selling or caring for them...but although I'm a total fish geek compared to the average person, I'm still basically a "newbie" (maybe early intermediate-level/moderately experienced) by the standards of most of this site's users!
