Many local businesses are experiencing shortages in materials as a result of the pandemic.

One local aquarium and pet shop owner explained some of the challenges they have faced.

The owner of Buzz N' B's Aquarium and Pet Shop, Paige Elder, said in the beginning of the pandemic the shop had a tough time with salt water shortages for the fish.

Elder said that after a few months, they were able to receive the salt water and other materials from their regular vendors in California.

However, they still are experiencing difficulties with glass for the aquariums.

"Restrictions that are in place at these larger manufacturers they're just not able to keep up with demand as well on top of that just with their restrictions, they can't even make them to begin with. So we've just really struggled with getting some of the stuff in," said Paige Elder, Owner of Buzz N' B's Aquarium and Pet Shop.

Elder added that customers have been very patient and understanding about the circumstances.

Pet Stuff, LLC destroyed before grand opening - WVNS-TV

Posted: 18 Jan 2021 12:26 PM PST

SUMMERSVILLE, WV (WVNS) — The owners of a business a week away from their grand opening, now do not know if they can open their store all.

Pet Stuff, LLC in Summersville was broken into and destroyed Saturday, January 16, 2021. Co-owner John Forga said the suspects broke all of their business equipment and all the aquariums, which flooded the store.

Forga said the support from the community has been amazing since this happened.

"Probably 300 maybe 400 text messages or emails from folks that have just been offering to take a day off work to come help, come clean," Forga said. "Little kids have messaged saying they heard that our aquariums were destroyed offering us their aquarium."

Forga said they are unsure if they will rebuild the pet store, but they will update the public as soon as possible.

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.
