G'day MCA crew,
As some of you will know from a previous post I work as an aquarium installation & maintenance guy with a few mates of mine. We are working on a proposal with a client to turn a 10,000 gallon Lake Erie catchment native fish display into a peacock & hap tank. I will require relatively large numbers of many different species to fill the tank. The quality of the fish must be flawless and the size range to begin with is gonna be in the 2"-4" range. Obviously we want a sea of color and variety. I doubt we can manage to get all males, lol, but we'd want as many as you have for sure.
At this time we don't want anything classified as "aggressive", like zebras, which aren't haps or peacocks anyway. We also haven't decided about the big open water haps as yet so if you have Bucco's, rostratus, champso's and the like let's get a price on 25 & 50. These guys will reach max size in a 10,000 gallon tank and anything under 6-8" could become dinner. Price me anyway and we'll see once we plan the species list.
I will compile a wish list to post after I have an answer to our proposal. If you are a local breeder in the SE Michigan area, or can ship with O2 & live arrival gaurentee, and have quantities of 50+ single species of fish in this size range I would like to hear what you have. If you have multiple species with 50+ of each that's great, I just want minimum of 50 + of each species.
We already have a capacity to order wholesale through business contacts we have, I just thought it would be great to support as many local breeders as possible in the process.
I have great quality blue dolphins already sourced, so any other peacock or hap is fair game at this stage. Lemme know what ya got and an approx price on 50, 75 & 100 if those prices are different.
Thanks everyone.
Danny
