The most common household fish is the Betta fish. If you really want to open a pet store and sell fish, your best bet is to get the item most consumers want, so be sure to get Betta fish.

Go with a large varity, that way you will get more customers. Do fresh water, salt water, tropical fishes, cold water fishes, brackish water fishes. Try selling fishes that arent as common in your area. There this petstore were I live and they sell fishes that I hardly or never see in other fish stores( I live in Hawaii). They always busy because that. There prices are also affordable and not ridiculus over priced.

Tropical Fish and Goldfish. People are split between the two on which to have. I have a 30 gallon tank with tropical fish and a 5 gallon tank with goldfish. I would say get both and see which sell better. Also ask the customer what they think too after opening.

Definitely tropical and cichlids. I always find these to be the most popular. You should also sell some invertebrates like freshwater shrimps.
