Fish Tank Business
A major investment for one wanting to raise fish in an enclosed space is the purchase of a receptacle that will serve as the fish’s artificial habitat. That is why the fish tank business is a major business in aquaculture. Are you interested in going into this kind of business? Get ideas ‘how,’ from our guide.
One of the ways to raise fish for recreation or business is to grow them in tanks. Tanks allow fish farmers to have high control over the conditions that affect the growth and management of their stock.
Control allows them to determine how often they can harvest, how fast they can grow the fish, how to prevent diseases and manage waste well. Ultimately, these have the purpose of increasing harvest and profitability.
Tank Manufacturing Business
A way for one to enter into the tank business is by manufacturing tanks. Going into the business of manufacturing means more than designing and constructing tanks. It means running a whole business that would require the owner to find sources of funding, buy equipment, hire workers and personnel, come up with quality control standards, invest in research, determine pricing, and lay out and execute marketing plans. It means having to answer questions such as:
- whether the business will become a wholesaler or custom builder
- how long will its warranty be effective
- where it would distribute its produce
- will it offer shipment or delivery to retailers and direct customers
- will it offer installation of tanks
- will it pre-install fish tank accessories like water and air filters, or do them onsite
On the manufacturing side, it means engaging engineers to design tanks of different shapes, styles and sizes and calculate dimensions of the raw materials to construct them. Tanks come in standard sizes that could be as small as 10 galloons and as large as 210 galloons. They could be made of glass, cement or acrylic, which has gained popularity in recent years. They could be rectangular, square, cylindrical oblong, trapezium, triangular or hexagonal.
Fish Tank Retailing Business
Alternatively, one can become a fish tank retailer. One way to do it is to search for fish tank manufacturers online that offer a chance for people with entrepreneurial spirit to become retailers of fish tanks. These companies will require you to meet certain requirements before you can sell their products. If you are able to directly buy wholesale from a manufacturer, you can augment your business by selling fish products and supplies in addition to fish tanks. For example, you can sell stands, filters, gravel, pumps, and lights. Learn everything you can about these products. As a retailer, you must be knowledgeable about almost anything regarding fish and keeping them. In this way, you should be able to answer questions your customers might ask.
