Title: Double good day today
Post by: waterboy on October 12, 2016, 07:37:51 PM
I have a wholesale customer that buys fish from me.  He came today and bought a bunch of fish so now I have some empty tanks to work with.
But it gets even better..........

Today is the first day of the NHL Hockey season. First televised game is on right now.

I'm happy for you about the hockey.

Huge Congrats on the wholesale buyer.  I can't believe that he comes to you!  I have to meet mine at a pet shop 25 miles away.  The wholesaler saves my life when he buys a ton of small Angels.  He only pays $1.00 each for them but he buys 200 at a time.  That's good money for fish when you have no other market for them.  It opens a lot of tank space, too.

He comes over with boxes and big bags. I take the potted plants and filters out of the tanks, hand him a net and he catches all the angels. I help out by catching some of the bristlenoses for him.  I don't get $1.00 each but I get enough to buy food to raise some more. The biggest benefit is the empty tanks so I have room to grow out more.  He sells Angels to all the fish stores around and sells a lot at the Chicago swap meets.
