I have to have most of my fish shipped to me. That being said, the options of exotic and rare fish are endless. i've been researching a lot of fish species to breed/sell. I'd like to mainly do rare, high quality cichlids, Plecos, Shrimp, maybe some oddball angel fish and different species we don't see in WV very often if at all. I feel as if WV and surrounding areas could use something to brighten up the fish world. trying to get some opinions on what others think before i go any further. any input is much appreciated!

Ive been in and out of the hobby for years, and havent had a tank in nearly a decade. I am getting the itch once more, and am in the planning stages of a new tank. I am thinking of a 20 long, for shrimp and a school of nano fish of some sort.

What do you guys have going on? Where are you located? I'm in Charleston, and not even sure what the fish scene is here anymore. I think Inland Reef is still open in Cross Lanes, but Phil closed his shop in Nitro years ago. Pretty sure that is the last of the enthusiasts shops here locally.

If you stumble across this thread, and its dead... and you are local, please add your info anyway! Cannot build even a small community, if we dont know we are out there!
