How I sold my Fish Fingerlings

Ever since my breeders spawned hundreds of fry, I was busy thinking of a way to sell it. So I’d promote it.

The fountain was the real eye catcher; add to that floating water plants gathered in one end of the pond. My fence is about two feet high concrete and the rest metal square bars, people passing the street could easily see the pond and become curious.

Neighbors often saw me taking care of the fish pond. They were amused looking at the fish, especially during feeding time. It often starts a conversation among us, how fast the fish grows, what do I feed them, how often I replace the water, how much it costs, where did I bought it, how does it breed and many other things about the fish. They got interested and by word of mouth many people bought the first batch of fingerlings.

At first, I was a bit hesitant to sell it to pet shops. What I did was to ask them if they could fill a plastic bag with oxygen and I would pay them, because I have to transport the fish to a far area. When the owner saw the fish I was holding, they asked me if he can buy some and thus, I started to supply him.
