I really like the idea, but we probably should get Lusk's input and views.
The concern I have is when a dealer turns bad, like through a sell-out or health issues that require them to bring in help that isn't as meticulous.
We maintain a 'live fish list' through the WV Aquaculture Association. It lists all of the licensed dealers who can sell fish in the state. We've reported here about one on that list that has been a problem to several PB members. I've gotten two batches of fish from them that had issues. Remember
Mark Brown's bullheads. Remember the fish several of us got that were not RES. Remember my white catfish at were supposed to be CC. There is a second one on the list that also has become a problem. At one time they were both excellent suppliers.
I'd be concerned how we would handle the problem when a dealer is no longer reputable without causing a potential liability problem for Pond Boss.
