<p>Yea, but I think his large scale plans are going to be in another country so he will need to find out what the governing authority there is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But definitely a good point Chi. Anyone Anywhere wanting to raise fish for profit might need some sort of license, or permit.</p>

I Just don't want you to spend all your remaining time before you leave agonizing about what fish to get and then never really having much time with fish in your system. Go ahead and get started with something so you can learn while you continue trying to figure out what would be the best thing for you.

<p>Remember you want something easy and I don't expect your family to be much into trying to sell the fish so you probably want something for them to eat, or pets. This is your learning system, don't try to hard to make money from it since you wont' be around long enough to really do much with that side of it. Learn to grow some fish (whatever type) and some veggies. Get some experience from it even if it means just getting some cheap goldfish to keep while you do research for your future projects.</p>

<p>im open to all kinds of ideas not just 1 type of fish, but it is my first time so i dont want to go in way over my head.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>im leaning towards koi, but im open to all ideas :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really want a fish i that i can sell for eating because our family owns a store and i can sell them there :).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>but i have not found the right fish yet, i want to do sturgeons but FT is not big enough not yet atleast ;).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>so i want to find something…</p>

<p> </p>
<p>so i want to find something simple to take care of because after bout 6 or 7 months im not going to be able to take care of them i will have to turn that over to my dad(he understand a bit) and i will be moving away to start a bigger aquaponics project :). so this is kind of like a learning period for me. and im trying to take in all the info i can about both the plant and the fish side of aquaponics.</p>
<p> </p>
ps. i like learning so i dont mind reading your long posts :))).<br/><br/>

<p> </p>
<p>Sylvia is by far right about the koi, the other great thing about them is that they are like gold fish and don’t require warm water but will do ok in it as long as your DO is high enough</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With smaller or larger tanks you can get something like Swordtails, guppies, or platies. I suggest these because the right strain can go for $5-$100+ per pair to the right people. They are also extremely easy to breed-they are called livebearers which means they give birth to live young and have a much higher survival rate than egg laying fish. Females have from 15-60+ fry per month in my experience, numbers that people give always vary. These are generally better than the mollies which are considered the lower end livebearers and won’t always sell very well. But like the sailfin mollies sailfin swordtails or platies are much more expensive. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When it comes to aquarium fish it is best to make a larger initial investment, cheap strains will only get cheaper. The good news is the purchase of a single pair can get you an entire colony going quickly. If you are interested or even still reading this check out <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.aquabid.com" target="_blank">www.aquabid.com</a> It is a sort of ebay for fish. Look under the “guppies” or “Domesticated” sections to see the livebearers people are currently selling and just how much they are selling for. Unless you want to ship your fish you may want to contact a local fish or pet store to see if they would make a deal with you. Ask them what kind of fish they would be interested in long term. They might not pay as much for them but they might would give you a few $s per fish which adds up fast if you have more than about 30g. Craigslist would also work for selling some but you may get stuck with them.</p>
<p>If you are actually looking into some aquarium fish let me know and i can help you out, not worth doing more typing if you don’t even read this<img src="http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/ucsycybersmiley/9.gif"/></p>
