I agree with most of your post. For years we battled over here to get the
shops to stock Native Fish and especially Rainbows. one of the problems was
that they only wanted to buy 1 1/2 to 2 inch fish, wanted them to have some
colour in an unplanted tank at that size, and only wanted to buy 6 at a
time :-(
So some of us convinced a few dealers to set up display tanks to show the
public what those insignificant little silver things would look like later,
and we even donated adult display fish to those tanks. The only problem was
if someone came along with $10 for the "big red fish" in that tank it
disappeared out the door pretty fast and we were back to square one again
and the dealer complaining that the small Rainbows didn't sell!
That was one of our reasons to produce the 4 Rainbowfish Posters - so that
dealers who wouldn't or couldn't have a display tank could have them up on
the wall to show customers what a coloured-up Wonga Ck Trifasciata etc
looked like. I guess we have now to get you all to ask your local dealer to
buy a set of posters ;-)
Tell them they won't die and thy only need a bit of wall space not floor
space :-)
Roy can supply from stock ASAP
