I want to open one up in Austin, but have not found the right place yet. I'm also just string out, but I guess the ones we left off are not that good lol.

ive worked at a couple and its not a money maker thats for sure, a lot of work. look around here and see how many have popped up and closed or sold off. many people think you can just buy some tanks filters and bam, but its very hard unless you have a lot money to get going and stat afloat while you get off the ground. and dont think you can survive on just maast people cause eventually people leave hobby or just run out of room to buy new stuff. without new customers its hard. i think this city has enough fish stores maybe too many to compete with the bigger established stores.

when working at a store also notice a lot what your saying but yea defiantly dont depend on maast they provide less than %15 of your business i might even guess 10%

most stores that fail have one thing in common they dont have enough dry goods ... thats were your money is IMO

[Gseclipse02]

austin may have fewer stores but those few stores are top notch some of the best ones i have been too

[fuzzybob4]

Yeah I have noticed that a lot only carry corals and fish, not dry goods, or standard aquariums or stands.
yeah the ones in Austin are mince but I always go in and don't see the variety.

[fuzzybob4]

Thank you, all my friends are supportive of me setting up a store but the family is like it will never work.
