Are you a passionate breeder of quality and in demand fish and shrimp?  

We selectively partner with local hobbyists on a case by case basis. We love to stock locally bred fish and shrimp that are born and raised in local water as they acclimate and transition extremely well to our aquariums. 

​

Before you embark on new breeding project- there is a lot that we simply just aren't interested in or can move in large numbers. For example- you can get angelfish at most aquarium stores- we can not help you move hundreds of them :/.  We don't often seek out cichlids, large fish, or low grade patterned fish and shrimp. We are seeking things that are highly sought after in the hobby right now, and that's community fish that comfortable fit in a 40 gallon aquarium or smaller-  celestial pearl danios, corydoras, rasboras, high grade guppies, high grade neocaridina shrimp, and more. 

​​

We are accepting applications to become a local breeder, but we do have high standards. 

 

Here are some non-negotiables that we look for from our breeders...

• A genuine passion and a deep knowledge of the aquarium hobby. 

• Strict biosecurity protocols.

• Clean, pest free, and well maintained aquariums used for breeding purposes only.

• Clear pictures of your breeding tanks + fish/shrimp.
