Ornamental Fishes & Other Aquatic Ornamental Species Imports & Exports
Ornamental fishes and other ornamental aquatic species present an unusual paradox in that they are both well known and unknown to the general public and veterinarians. These animals are well known because they can be seen every day in the home aquarium, ornamental pond, pet store, and public aquarium, while at the same time they are unknown because knowledge regarding their health care is limited (e.g., in the areas of antibiotic residuals, antibiotic resistance, emerging diseases, antiquated or undocumented diagnostic and surgical techniques, and pain management issues).
Therefore, we ethically breed, under bio-secure conditions, many species of both indigenous and exotic freshwater fishes and other aquatic species other than fish, like turtles. We are documenting their healthcare issues and remedies. We specialize in Betta splendens (Siamese fighter fishes) and Poecilia reticulata (Guppy) genetics and breeding. We are trained & mentored by the legendary ornamental fish breeding trainer Mr. Joseph Itzkovich, Director of Aquarium Fish Academy, Israel and D'gei Israel Aquarium Limited and Ex-Executive Committee Member of Ornamental Fish International (OFI).
The purpose of our business is to address some of the current and former issues related to the health, well-being and other problems of ornamental fish and ornamental aquatic species other than fish. We adhere to the laws of the land and international laws pertaining to live aquatic species. We also follow the principles of United Nations Global Compact.

Scientific Name: Trachemys scripta elegans, also known as the red-eared terrapin, red-eared slider turtle, red-eared turtle, slider turtle, and water slider turtle, is a semiaquatic turtle. It is the most popular pet turtle in the United States and is also popular as a pet across the rest of the world. Because of this, they are the most commonly traded turtle in the world. Red-eared sliders are native to the southern United States and northern Mexico, but have become established in other places because of pet releases, and have become an invasive species in many areas where they out-compete native species. The red-eared slider is not at all a endangered species, in fact it is included in the list of the world's 100 most invasive species published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN).
T & T Aquamarine, the parent concern of Aquamarine International, now a sister concern started breeding this exotic species in captivity in India in 2011 after the owner Mr. Mohammad Ariff presented a talk on the subject at a seminar organized by National Fisheries Development Board (Hyderabad) on 18.10.2011.
T & T Aquamarine's turtle hatchery was set up with brood from Singapore under the guidance of and in collaboration with Dr. Madhumita Mukherjee, Director of Fisheries Department, Government of West Bengal, which was later aquired up by Aquamarine International on its formation in December 2014.
Marine fish-keeping is different from its freshwater counterpart because of the fundamental differences in the constitution of saltwater and the resulting differences in the adaptation of its inhabitants. A stable marine aquarium requires more equipment than freshwater systems, and generally requires more stringent water quality monitoring. The inhabitants of a marine aquarium are often difficult to acquire and are usually more expensive than freshwater aquarium inhabitants. Although we do not breed marine fishes, but, we have set up some of the best marine reef aquariums in India.
Scientific name: Amphiprion ocellaris. They are, more technically known as Anemonefish, are the classic aquarium fish. Both hardy and attractive, they are perhaps best known for their symbiotic relationship with Sea Anemones, a relative of coral. In the wild, Anemonefish are always found with a host, leading many potential keepers to believe that an anemone is necessary to keep them.
Anemonefish are easy to keep, but their cnidarian counterparts are inordinately finicky and need high light levels, and luckily Anemonefish will thrive without them. Aquarists often find that Anemonefish will host in other things, from corals and Feather Duster Worms to powerheads and other equipment. Three species of Clownfish can be seen in the video above.
