That is true. Octopets seemed to have the best luck shipping at about 8-10 weeks. The question is how many would I realistically be able to sell each year? The next question is how many would I want to sell given that most inquiries are invariably from people without the means to keep them.

There might be a research market in addition to a hobby market. Can you do a survey on tonmo to find out how many would buy? Also, since fishsupply.com has a good reputation and is well known in the ceph community, maybe you could supply them wholesale rather than worrying about handling individual orders.

Researchers can always get theirs from the NRCC, wholesale to places like Fishsupply and the Doctors would probably be what I would end up doing. I think fishsupply's ceph reputation is going downhill though: the knowledgeable ceph person they used to have is no longer with them and they have started stocking mimics. Next thing you know they'll have moorish idols and nautilus.

good point, I forgot about the mimics. I'll bet if you can reliably produce them, you can find a way. good luck! I'll buy one, sign me up!

Hehehe, I'm getting a little ahead of myself here. Despite all the daydreaming I've been doing this is still a project that's at least a year off. Right now I don't have a basement to house the nurseries and the stock tanks.
