Select Aquatics

 

   

    Select Aquatics breeds affordable,
    quality specialty tropical fish for the
    beginner to advanced hobbyist that
    are not often seen, many that are
    endangered or extinct in the wild.
    selectaquatics.com is also a one
    stop site for fishkeeping tips and
    information.

    If you are keeping an aquarium
    you have the opportunity to help
    preserve species that are about to
    go extinct in the wild. As well, due
    to increased export restrictions,
    many species are also at risk of
    disappearing from the hobby.
    The fish offered here are hardy,
    generally no more difficult to
    care for, and may depend on
    hobbyists such as yourself to
    maintain their availability. 

               Select Aquatics of Erie, CO.
 
                We breed and sell  only the most attractive,
                                  robust lines available!
         Select Aquatics maintains a
         consistent collection of 20+
         species/lines (see Species
         Lineup) that are bred here
         and posted as available.

     Ordering new species you've never
     kept from someone you don't know
     with water different than yours can
     be scary. Some assurance that in
     6 months the fish will still be doing
     well would be ideal, particularly since
     many of these fish are rare or hard
     to obtain.

     From your first email to inquire about
     ordering until the moment they arrive,
     we will keep in close touch to answer
     any questions you may have so that
     you know exactly what you are getting,
     and precisely when they will be sent.
     Care information for each species is
     also provided Here.

     Postage is never overcharged, and
     extras are nearly always sent with
     carefully done, professional shipping.
     To help ensure they do well for you, a
     Care Guide is provided for each species
     from the link below. Be sure to check
     the updated comments at "What Do
     Customers Think of Select Aquatics"
     at the link just above!
