10 Years! Cheers!!

​Today is our 10th Anniversary!!!

Aquaholic Aquaculture was founded ten years ago on April 22, 2015. ​Our company was established on Earth Day as a symbolic representation of our mission to foster marine conservation and sustainability within the aquarium industry through marine ornamental aquaculture. Aquaholic Aquaculture's mission is grounded in a love for the aquarium hobby and a devotion to marine conservation. At Aquaholic Aquaculture, all of our live products (from live feeds to marine fish and coral) are 100% aquacultured.

Our small family business has grown so much this past decade. When Aquaholic first started, it was a small plankton-focused company. Initially we only produced and distributed live phytoplankton. With time, we expanded our phytoplankton production and also began to produce and commercially distribute live zooplankton (e.g., copepods, rotifers, and artemia) and other live feeds (e.g., blackworms).

Over the years, we have continued to concentrate on our live feed cultures but also have expanded to focus on ornamental fish and coral aquaculture as well. Unique varieties of aquacultured A. percula and A. ocellaris clownfish, H. erectus seahorses, and an assortment of both stony and soft corals have been produced at our facility and have found new homes in aquariums across the U.S.

In 2017, we released a very unique plankton product: REVIVE™: Live Zooxanthellae. We had worked for years behind the scenes trying to acquire and mass culture various species of zooxanthellae (i.e., members of the family Symbiodiniaceae), and finally had success with some cultures of Symbiodinium, Breviolum, and Cladocopium. We are very proud of this product, as it is the only of its kind available to the aquarium industry and since its release has helped numerous aquarists save their bleached corals (see our Testimonials).  ​

Today we continue to produce aquacultured live feeds, fish, and coral for the aquarium industry. As our small business has grown, so has our small family. We welcomed our daughter in 2022, and she has been a joy to have help us around the lab. Seeing the joy and wonder through her eyes as she takes in all of the various ocean critters that call our facility home has only furthered our passion for aquaculture.

​The last ten years have been quite the journey, and we are so thankful to everyone who has supported us along the way. As a small business, your support means the world to us. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for helping make our aquaculture dream a reality. Cheers!
