Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen ask Rick Preuss from Preuss Pets to explain the journey that fish take from their place of origin to your aquarium in a healthy way!

When asked the question where do fish come from, the Koi answer is to say from the water! But which ocean, sea, river or lake specifically? Which fish are better reproducing and being caught in the wild versus those being bred in captivity? Listen Saturday at 9AM when Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen ask Rick Preuss from Preuss Pets to explain the journey that fish take from their place of origin to your aquarium in a healthy way! Rick will detail the evolution of the pet shop industry from the 1960's to today and the massive changes that have transpired during those years making the industry today much more dynamic and accessible to all. You'll learn about the fish that come from the Gulf of Mexico and the Southwest Atlantic and the role that Florida played in dominating the fresh fish businesses early on. You'll learn what breeds of fish come from what geography and what methods are used currently for gathering and transporting fish in a safe, ethical way. Also, how technology and knowledge have changed making salt water reef tanks dramatically easier to maintain and are now much more common.
