What countries do you think are the TOP 5 countries for keeping saltwater reef aquariums?

Go ahead and try to rank them from 1 to 5.

1. ?

I'll provide some R2R data later to show you what they are here at R2R.

Here is the data on importation of ornamental fish from 2023. This is probably the best proxy:

United States
China
UK
Malaysia
Japan
Germany

Holland must make the list. The Netherlands are full of aquarists.

I honestly think Brazil might make the list. They have a rather large reefing community!

Google provides a lot of info on yt viewers…

Compared to many other countries, Brazil actually has a pretty large reefing community. We might show up on the list simply because there are a lot of us and we’re stubborn enough to keep going, but it’s far from a top 5 place to keep a marine aquarium

I typically lump the US and Canada together, but if not, I’d probably put canada down lower ~10.

My guess and why…

1. USA. Just seems obvious.
2. Australia. The county is one big reef, and their involvement here on R2R
3. China. Because of how much equipment is made there. And the sheer population
4. Germany. I believe they are the biggest sellers of coral and high end equipment in Europe
5. UK. Outside of the US and Canada, I see more people from the UK except may be Australia here on R2R.
