Pet folks will be happy to know that Gilchrist County has it's very own pet store. Barbara Scott who has lived in the county since 2002 opened Barb's Pet World recently. The store which features birds, exotic fish, reptiles, puppies, kittens and other small animals is located next door to Cherry's Restaurant at 320 N. Main Street.
Barbara has been a lover of animals from early childhood. For many years she trained horses. Later she worked in sales then she became involved in breeding and raising bird in central Florida. At one time she had five pet shops in the Orlando area.
She became unemployed in March due to the Covid pandemic. At that point she knew what she wanted to do for the rest of her working career. Owning a pet shop was something she knew a lot about and truly enjoyed.
After Barbara did some research she found out that there were not any pet shops in the surrounding counties so she opened her shop on Main Street in Trenton.
The pet shop not only contains lots of live fish, birds, and small animals such as hamsters, but she also stocks many types of pet foods, homeopathic foods, even reptile food. The store has a large supply of medicines, vaccines, home and pet flea sprays. She stocks all types of pet supplies a owner might need including aquariums, crates, pet toys and much more.
She said that her best sellers are puppies which she receives each Tuesday. She has many contacts in the pet breeding world and can get almost any kind of animal that a customer wants. She even sells designer cross puppies which are very popular at this time.
If her cage space permits Barbara will take in rescue kittens and work to find them a good home.
The store also features a gift line for the animal lover on anyone's gift list.
All the feeds sold at Barb's Pet World are made in the USA and she will stock a special type of food if requested. For the bird lovers she has bulk bird feed and formulated pellets as well as a wide selection of cages.
One of the things that makes Barbara such a special pet shop owner is her vast knowledge of the pets she sells. She will not only sell you a special pet, but she will gladly advise a new pet owner on the type of food and cage they might need. She can even give knowledgeable advice on breeding and even training their new pet.
If you have questions about the new business just call 352-658-8050 or go to www.barbspetworld.com.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
