I started getting interested in fish in 1965 & was working part time in a busy fish importers from 1969. This was a great way to learn the trade.
I have held managerial posts in other importers until branching out to my own livestock importing business. During this time I was involved in setting up & maintaining some of the first system filtration plants in the country.

I've bred most types of fish over the years & to this day take on new imports to breed. I recently took on one of the new Danio sp. from Burma & still get a thrill about breeding this egg scatterer group. I took these on to try out some new fry feeds.
I spent many years researching Killifish. Click the link below 'Killifish of Western Africa' to see some of the work.

I'm a fish breeder at heart & wanted to find the best foods for my projects. Unfortunately these foods had to be bought in half ton quantities & the first import was a leap of faith which later proved a success. The business began by distributing these foods to help out with the enormous cost involved in importation. I started re-packing into handy 100grm packs & many breeders now regularly ask for more. This is not confined to this country - many European breeders regularly order from the site.

Currently we are concentrating on the mail order business with the fish house being used for testing out new feeds & the supply of home bred fish to hobbyists & retailers. It is our aim to provide a 'one stop' online shop for breeders & hobbyists & further continued interest in the fishkeeping hobby.
We hope to return to livestock distribution via specialist livestock carriers in the near future.
We also grow our own plants which is another area we are looking at.

In this era of carbon emissions the UK should start looking at breeding fish again. Importing freight from the Far East, South America & Africa is a little crazy while we have good breeders here now who can supply part of this load.
