Betta Breeding And Possible Business

[Phoenixbaby]

Ok so when i move out im going to start at spawning, and eventually will be selling the fry on to others

My LFS will be buying most from me, but I will be selling a select few, basically I will be a small time breeder

I had an idea about it tho, and wanted to get some feedback

Basically I would use a courier for the fish to be sent out, but people within a decent radius to me, i could deliver to them?

I have Panniers and a topbox on my motorbike, and heatpacks would be used, just wanted to see what people thought?

Anyone? no one got anything to say? lol

yeah i have lol....

If your going to be delivering them on your motorbike, why not pad out the top box to keep them warm maybe get a small heater fitted in it to work off the battery, i know it can be done cos my mate had a top box heated to keep his bloody cloths warm in the winter for when he got work rofl..

problem is del wud only be once a week, and i dnt want a heater killing my battery

i can pad out my top box, put heat packs in, and away i go

what u think??

The heater he got came with a switch and it also had a timer on it, il ask him what it was etc.

To be honest if your delivering locally, if its padded out, you wont really need heatpacks and that...

Just thought if you was going long distance it could of helped

 

[Phoenixbaby]

i would do long distance, if it proved cost effective

i mean a few ppl on here id be more than happy to ride down or up to sorta thing

but as a kinda starting out thing, del wud be locally only untill i can assess how the money is going xx

Sounds like a great idea Phoenix, you could just pack the fish into a box with heat pack like you would for posting if you were going quite a distance?? Or ar least just put some polystyrene in a box to keep the heat in?
