In the US most tropical fish farms are location in Florida. There are some in other areas, but the vast majority are in Florida. To get into the field you need to look for a school that offered a degree in Aquaculture or Fisheries Sciences. That would be the best way to either get hired by a large farm or to start your own breeding business.

In addition to the above mentioned farm breeding there is also warehouse breeding, where indoor ponds and aquariums are used. I went on a tour of a large one nearby and he had a great setup which allowed him to keep thousands of tanks clean with fresh water every day, with minimal effort so that one or two people can run it. He made a point of telling me how difficult it is to make money in the business.

You don't necessarily need to go to school for it - you can start small and learn yourself with books, help from the right people, and experience. I can tell you a little story about a young guy who started off breeding common fish in his basement. Now he's the owner of a massive multi-million operation consisting of a chain of aquarium superstores across Canada and the U.S. with fish farms in florida, and an online supply store. it's called Big Als.

i don't see the place human beings have been given the 5 gallon rule for a betta. A betta produces little or no waste and can actually stay an entire healthful life in a 2.5+ filtered, heated tank. i'm additionally notably particular you probably did not learn that because of the fact each and every of the web content say 2.5 is the minimum. you in basic terms have been given the 5 gallon rule on y/a. in case you certainly did detect an internet site with the 5 gallon rule, I guess you tried to particularly write "5 gallon betta" or something. and maximum people who purchase them do not go away them in tiny cups. regrettably, a great variety of them do purchase bowls, yet not cups. shops do not care approximately bettas. All they care approximately is the money that bettas usher in. Bettas could additionally stay in a properly maintained unfiltered, unheated BOWL for 2-3 years. In a filtered, heated, first rate sized tank (2.5+), they might stay as much as 7, perhaps much extra years. I certainly have yet to verify after 7. you're very uninformed.

As "magicman" says, Florida is ideal.
When breeding fish for sale, the biggest financial killer is paying for electricity (assuming staff and building costs are similar in different locations.)
Home breeding for a living is very difficult due to sales volumes.
So basically you need somewhere warm, with natural ponds or streams and low financial overheads... India, Sri Lanka, HongKong etc, which explains why these places are already commercially successful.
