Start Your Own Aquarium Maintenance Service
If you have an interest in the fishkeeping hobby, you may be able to turn your passion into a career and launch an aquarium cleaning service, aquarium maintenance service and/or aquarium installation service. Many private homes and businesses that have aquariums hire aquarium maintenance professionals to keep their tanks healthy and beautiful. Many aquarium maintenance professionals charge clients a fixed rate per fish tank gallon. Your clients might own tanks ranging from small (10 – 30 gallon aquariums) to the common 75 gallon aquarium. Some will even have 120 gallon aquariums or larger. Depending on what your clients keep in their tanks, they might require aquarium maintenance services on a monthly, bi-monthly or even weekly basis. This means your clients will continuously need your assistance with their fish tanks and that means a healthy aquarium technician salary for you.
Your clients may turn to you for advice on the types of fish to keep, diseases affecting their fish, pond maintenance and more. This means there is potential to grow your business to include keeping and selling fish, aquatic plants and other aquarium supplies.
