I have bought many fish from mike and his team. They are a absolute dream to deal with. There fish are extremely high quality. On top of that they are responsive to emails, do many giveaways and will always replace a fish that came dead on arrival. I’ve only bought from two places. Imperial Tropicals will always be my favorite. By mike being so transparent with his company, his feelings, and his work ethic it makes me as a consumer feel proud and honored to buy and be apart of his business. I sound like a groupie but it’s just the truth. You know when you have something good. I am so glad I took the first step and ordering from them when I had no idea the outcome. A year later I have been blessed with great fish and a even better company. Keep up the great work mike!!!

@@littlej3777 ya bud I don't like buying them at 5 inch plus when I get mine they about 1 inch mark or 2ish I have gotten older juveniles to me they seem more aggressive I rather raise them myself and half the times they feed them color enhancing food they all colored up then come to find out their females and they listed males so now on if anyone does buy bigger fish I would tell them to sex them before selling them check the male holes underneath

Thank you for sharing this video with us. Imperial Tropicals, thanks for allowing us to get a peek into your fantastic facility. Your Africans are just gorgeous. The albino Rainbows are beautiful. I hope to check your website and buy some of your stock. I only wish more of the independent stores would pop up and stay in business, but their costs to do business can get completely out of control, especially rents and insurance costs. If only our Government could do better in protecting small business, as they do with Mega Corporations. After all, Small business is the life's blood of our economy, outnumber their big brother almost a thousand to one. Keep up the great work, Imperial. The Hobby is much better for it.

I wonder what it would take to cut out the middleman and shipping AKA UPS and FedEx, I've seen fish delivery trucks before but I'm not sure that would work on a larger scale. I think local fish stores should look into delivery, I know it's not necessary if it's local then they can just drive to the store most of the times, but then they can figure out how much it would cost to ship further and further distances. I could schedule an appointment and, get my fish delivered that day or anytime in the next week, I might not have the time or want to drive 1-3 hours, but the fish store might have five jobs in that area. Or maybe aquarium Co-op could get a fleet of automated driving cars aquarium Co-op could get a fleet of self-driving cars once Tesla is ready to do that.. And if it's local they might even be willing to stay 20 minutes to get advice, they might even have products in the van, like I might want a plant or a water jet. It wouldn't take hat much space. I mean pizza stores have this ironed out, and I don't think it would be that much more expensive it might even be cheaper to get it shipped locally then you get it shipped through FedEx.
