hey everyone. i love animals and lately i've been pondering the fact of opening my own "mom and pop" style amphibian store here in cincinnati. now don't everyone flip out. i wanna open a small store with around 20 to 30 aqauriums in the range or 30 to 50 gallon with different species of frogs/newt/sals and various products such as hard to find food and plants and other tank materials we hobbyists use. no one has even touched the market in cincy but i wanna do it and do it right. i plan one educating my customers on proper animal care and against stupid stuff like multiple specie housing and 5 gallon tanks with 23 newts.
but i have a few questions....
1. i tried a lil searching on legality on sale of amphibians in ohio but can't find any.
2. i wanna sell CB so it's fair to the customers and the animals but don't know where to resource the animals from.
i'm not looking to make big bucks just an honest living and cater to those of use in this hobby. i got a lot of friends that come over and see my newts and they would love to have one or two as pets. also what i have in stock would be pretty much what i would sell. i might have 10 species one month and 15 totally different ones next month. i would also like to breed some in the store with smaller tanks in the back and raise them til they are juvies. what's everyones opinions on this and do you guys thing an idea like this would work?
