I cannot speak directly regarding Nemo, but I can say that you will be better off, even if it's only slightly better off, if you can get the fish straight from the farm where they are bred. I have been told that Nemo gets some of their fish from other farms for the Fish Days and the Fish Day's fish are typically second string picks.

I am not knocking anyone in the fish industry. I think this occurs regularly and fish farmers work together to move fish around and deliver orders.

For example, I know that a particular fish farm in Missouri only produces a few of the fish on their website. The remainder of the species are sourced from other fisheries, some out of state. The farm has the facilities (Trucks, buildings, water, tanks, etc.) and they run delivery routes that take them by other farms so picking other breeds up is often paid for by the previous customer. That is one of the reasons a farm will not have your selection for weeks...they have a delivery to Texas coming up and they will pick up your HSB on the way back.

Point is...get your fish from the farm where they are raised if you can, otherwise you don't know where they came from.

Fish on!,
