YES sell them, to everyone on your list.
if you produce 10-100 month-sell to LFS and friends, 100-500, consider local distributors, and 500-1000s month sell to wholesalers.

you make a bunch of phone calls and setup a pricing strategy, just remember you 'll get more $$ from friends/LFS/fish than distributors or wholesalers.
as example:
Nemo clownfish- $8/friends/LFS,(alot of knocking on doors, driving, and making calls)
$6-local distributors- (one local trip to drop off the box)
$4.50-wholesalers (one phone call and one trip to airport)

this only makes sense if you have volume, if you only produce a few fish/month (like banggais, contact your local reef society and see what your friends will pay
