I Wish I Were A Fish

I Wish I Were A Fish Local Hobbyist starting a retail shop in my home, as well as having aquarium supplies, food, and fish. Offering aquarium setup and maintenance as well.

My name is Scott I am the owner of I Wish I Were A Fish, LLC. My previous experience was a pet retail manager for approximately 7 years. I also have a B.S. in Environmental Biology wish a concentration in Freshwater Ecology. I have been interested in aquariums since age 9. Upon having my first tank I was hooked and had aquariums throughtout most of the rest of my life and upone graduating college

my hobby became an addiction as my aquariums grew in number and size eventually having over 50 running at one time. Currently I have over 30 running and have started my own retail business to help bring more rare and uncommon fishes to out local clubs. If you would like to share your wish list with me, if I can find them I will let you know and try to order them. I am currently holding all fishes to ensure they are healthy and eating good. Always looking for new fishes if you have unwanted fry or fishes I am always looking to increase my in stock selection.
