Something Fishy Going on 'Round Here

The first time I told anybody, it went sort of like this: “Hey! We just filed for a patent for fish farming.”

“Oh yeah…what’s it gonna do?”

“It super-oxygenates water.”

“Oh yeah? You think I can raise fish in my basement?”

I was speechless. I wrote the experience off to my eclectic choice of friends. I figured who (in their right mind) would really want to raise fish in the basement of an inner-city house? Probably somebody who might advocate the wearing of tin foil hats. (http://www.virtualberks.com/tinfoilhat/)

I gave a speech and a PowerPoint presentation to a group a couple of weeks later. Guy comes up to me afterwards, saying: “Can I raise homegrown fish in my backyard?” I got two more such questions that night. Again, silence reigned supreme. I sought the sage advice of a Fellow Fish, and it was decided we had better look into the whole topic. We don’t plan to get involved with “grow-your-own” fish farms, but it seemed like there was suddenly an awful lot of interest out there. I found out a bunch of stuff. So, I thought I’d blog it. So, standby for what I found out…
