| lol That's pretty cool. Well you may want to firstly make sure that you can get a big store that you can divide into 7 sections. You know what I would think is cool. Try to get a big lot like the size of Petsmart and dedicate it to fish. Then I would divide it into 7-8 sections. 6 of these sections will be dedicated to the six continents (don't think you will have too much luck with fish from Antarctica  ).
In these sections, I would have multiple tanks housing fish only from that area, some community, some semi-agressive, and some aggressive. Then I would also stock that section with all the plants and decor that could go with that section. For example; in the SA section, you can sell decor like driftwood and such, with amazon sword, java fern, stuff like that! So all about decorating and the fish themselvwes in those sections.
Then, in another section, I would dedicate it all to foods, from live to packaged!
The last section would consist of everything else like filtration, heating, lighting, water testers, what conditioners, test kits, gravel vacs, etc.
Wow! Now you got me dreaming of coming up with a store of my own! | |

HAHA ya i do. sorry fishpie, I'm getting this idea copyrighted, if thats even possible. LOL I'd love to own a fish store. But it may need to be like a second business as fish store's don't seem to support much income these days. I could just be manager and tell everyone what to do  | |

| Hi fishpie
I would visit a store like that .
Nth America - not sure , maybe bass
Sth America - Angels , neons , oscars ( big list )
Australia - Rainbows , Gobies , maybe a Murray cod
Asia - Clown loaches , bettas , zebra danios ( big list again )
Africa - Chilids
Europe - no idea ..lol ...im sure they have native fish
Antarctica - might be a bit of a problem ... not a lot of liquid fresh water
Most shops divide thier fish into sections of some sought , this would just take it a little further .
Cool idea | |

In particular, there are a good number of brackish fish that live in the estuaries in Florida and a few of the other southern states. | |
