ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Our most important achievement has been the building of a system of tropical fish hatcheries which facilitate the breeding and raising of the most beautiful tropical fish in the world. For years we were advisied that we could not raise quality oddball tropical fish efficiently enough for our hatchery to survive in the market place. We believed we could and have spent the last twelve years developing our hatchery to support our belief that QUALITY IS INDEED WHAT THE HOBBIEST WANTS.

Not only has our early "belief" in quality been confirmed, but QUALITY IS THE CORNERSTONE OF EVERYTHING WE DO. We are very proud of our hatchery, of our beautiful fish, and of our quality staff who make it all happen. This belief in quality has been confirmed by the many awards we have won at the Florida Tropical Fish Farmers Association Shows. Although we only entered five of the ten years it ran, and submitted relatively few entries per year, we were in the top three or four “medal count” winners every year.
