An early morning fire Thursday at a Dickson County fish tank and breeding business destroyed the facility and killed 6,000 tropical fish, according to the company office manager Donna Coone.

The Dickson County Rescue Squad worked the fire, which occurred about 4 a.m.

Two businesses are based at the same location at 1500 East Piney Road in Dickson: Glasscages and Mandalay Fish.

Glasscages manufactures aquariums, turtle tanks, sump tanks, terrariums, stands and canopies as well as aquarium setups, cut sheets of glass and acrylic, specialty glass.

Mandalay Fish sells and breeds tropical and saltwater fish.





The saltwater fish are still alive, Coone said.

The fire also destroyed a recently constructed wedding chapel on the grounds.
