i know plenty of people who thought they were going to be able to quit their jobs and breed shrimp and fish and guess what, good thing they didn't quit their day jobs the only real way to make it truly profitable is to breed in very large numbers and supply to pet stores. but then you would be selling them at wholesale prices. it's a tough business to get into. but if you can make it work, then good for you!! my only suggestion is to start slow, and don't rush anything. you also need to think of the market how big is the market for acf's? remember, things in the aquatic world tend to run in trends. you just gotta start that new trend good luck with it, i wish you the best
