 started his fish business in the basement of his house.
 He then moved into a bigger location, and it just kept growing.


What exactly does a wholesaler do? Retail stores buy livestock from the wholesaler, who then delivers the merchandise to them.
 Fish and other livestock are packaged safely in thick, styrofoam containers for the trip to the store.
 Then, they are released into the tank, and are there for you to purchase.


When the large pet superstores came into existence, their presence somewhat hurt private wholesalers' and pet stores' businesses, but the hardiest establishments, like TFD, survived.
 Fishkeeping is a labor of love, because there is emphasis on making sure the fish are healthy and well fed, as well as keeping the customers happy and well supplied.
 The creatures are shipped out on a frequent basis, to get them in good homes as quickly as possible.

What Are Bottom Water Tropical Fish

"What Are Bottom Water Tropical Fish?","  It's not that they can't swim into the upper regions, they will when spurred by a fish that pesters them, or just for the sake of a quick dash around the tank.


Tropical fish that prefer the bottom of the tank, usually eat algae that grows there, as well as leftover food that falls on the substrate or the broad leaves of some plants.
  But this is not always a sufficient diet, and they need to be given food that comes in a form or shape specifically designed to reach, and appeal to the bottom feeder.
  The bottom feeders can then browse at their leisure, returning later to clean up the remains.
  Those tropical fish that hang around the bottom tend to be ""grazers"", and not the gulpers that you'll find dashing for the surface when they see you coming.
  There are also algae eaters, Botia, Corys, Knifefish and the more unusual specimens like Goby and Needle Nose.
