Default Java moss & Riccia fluitans storage/packaging

anyone seen a good way for an LFS to sell Java moss. Also what size
should the squares be, to be useful to a buyer, and what is a low to

fair
selling price?


Hi Max

How is the shop going ? Where is it ? I would love to pop in if I am in

the
area.


Hi Sabine, the shop is busy. There are actually 3 stores (same company)
within 25km, and we have a friendly competition for sales. The biggest
of the three (the showcase store for the city) is currently wondering why
their fish sales are lower than mine *heh heh*, (knock on wood). We are
in Ottawa Canada, so if you will be in the neighborhood, send me an email
for directions.

How to sell Java Moss / Riccia ? My LFS packs them in little round
containers, you know the ones you get at the Fish&chip shop for your

curry
sauce. You can get them for cheap in catering shops where they sell the
packaging for take-away shops. They put some water and moss/riccia in

it.
That way it is still fresh when u get it home and has quite a long

shelf
life for them.


That sounds like a great idea! thanks
