The Problem
The Fish at Your Local
Pet Store Has Already
Had a Bad Week.
01
It left a farm overseas. Got bagged. Got shipped.
02
Sat in a crowded holding tank for days.
03
Got dosed with medication just to survive the stress.
04
By the time it hits the shelf — it is exhausted.
You bring it home.
You do everything right.
It dies in ten days.
You blame yourself.
It was never your fault. Mine have not been on a single truck. They were born here. In water I've tested and perfected myself.

Not on a single truck. Bred in Nashville, in water I've perfected myself. One tank at a time.
About
Hi.
I Am Emily.
I run a marketing business during the day.
At night I watch fish. I track their water temperature. I test pH levels before bed. I separate breeding pairs and log which clutch came from which tank.
It started as a hobby. Now I have multiple tanks and more baby fish than I know what to do with. So I sell the extras.
Not a pet store
This is not a pet store. There is no corporate buyer. No shipping warehouse. Just me, my tanks, and fish I have been watching since they were born.
Have a question?
If you have a question you can message me. I will answer it myself.

FAQ
Common Questions.
Do you ship?
Yes. Only when temperatures are safe. I check the weather before anything gets bagged. A stressed fish is a dead fish and that is not good for either of us.
What if my fish dies after I receive it?
Message me within 48 hours. Send a photo. I will make it right. I have no interest in selling you a fish that does not survive.
Do you sell in bulk?
Sometimes. Message me before you check out and we can talk numbers.
