There isnt a pond management co. in my area we are in Jacksonville Fl.s groeth path I bealeve there is a need for one I think I could file the need .
I never like to discourage entreprenuers, but . . .
I would say it would be a very tough business to become successful in -- without at least having served an apprenticeship with a very knowledgeable pond boss, who serviced dozens of ponds over several years. Another alternative might be to find a young partner with lots of aquaculture-related education, like a recent grad from a renowned university. Lastly, maybe it could be you who goes for additional formal education. You're never too old.
There are just so many different kinds of ponds, with so many different kinds of problems, and with so many different fish issues, it would easily take several years before you could become somewhat effective. In that time, if you didn't have a lot of real happy customers, you'd ruin your reputation.
I always marvel at the answers that Bob Lusk gives in the Q and A section of each issue of Pond Boss Magazine. Without extensive experience, or a real active imagination, no one could easily dream up some of those answers -- like who would ever think of mixing antibiotics in a wheelbarrow to feed sick fish?
Good luck.
