GLAD TO HAVE YOU ABOARD AS A SPONSOR and a name that has raised many questions especially with stickers showing up with Live aquaria orders.
PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR COMPANY, SERVICES, HUSBANDRY AND GOALS FOR r2r
So to put it simply we breed a ton of fish. Our goal is to strive for new successful species rearing which makes us most notable for our work with commercializing the breeding of yellow tangs and mandarins. But we also work on rare and normally hard to obtain species like our blotched anthias and aurora anthias. On top of the fish we breed for the aquarium trade we restock the reefs in Palau and are working towards a few key food security species.

Overall we're a bunch of fish nerds who really care about this industry and want to see it become as sustainable and educational as possible. There's a ton of great videos and information on our brand new website https://www.thebiotagroup.com/

Just shipping only, we don't allow the public into our facility unfortunately. But its free shipping on orders over $150
2 Questions, the free shipping for over $150, what speed / courier is that with? And on your shop, you have a pair of Mandarins. Can you discuss the age and size that the pair would be? When I look to order Mandarins from AlgaeBarn, they are less than an inch, and state that the sex cannot always be guaranteed if a male has his fin damaged.

We only ship FedEx priority overnight for all of our orders, including free shipping.

Since we drop ship packages for AlgaeBarn they're the same sizing, occassionally we'll have them grown out a bit more to be closer to the 1" sizing. We'll always grab the largest available out of our populations for every order placed.

For sexing we've seen enough mandarins at our facility that we can confidently sex them properly and we try to keep enough on hand that imperfect males should never be shipped out.

That’s awesome, typically when they ship out from you, what foods are they eating?
