Thank you guys for the warm welcome to the R2R forum. Since we're new here I wanted to give y'all a bit of a background on who we are and what we do.
We breed fish and aquaculture corals and clams. We have 4 facilities around the world: Palau, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Florida. The first 3 are our breeding facilities while Florida is our grow-out, quarantine, and distribution center (with some coral aquaculture thrown in).
Our goals have always been to innovate aquaculture techniques and culture new species to help with conservation and education of our oceans. This is why we not only produce fish for the aquarium trade but also key food species to restock the Palauan waters with every purchase made with Biota (below are a few Palauan students helping us out with our rabbitfish release).
We love aquariums and what they can teach people about the oceans and hope to create a more sustainable and successful hobby through our efforts. We just launched our own online retail site but for the past 5 years you've been able to purchase our livestock from a few select websites and over 200 LFS around the United States!
Some of my personal favorite species we've had success with have been the blotched anthias, aurora anthias, yellow tang, tons of different trimma gobies (they're all adorable), mandarins, coral beauties, and seal's cardinalfish. But we're always working on new species and have had success with a ton more we haven't even announced yet. So shoot us over any questions you might have and share some photos of some of the Biota live stock in your aquariums. It's the most amazing phenomenon to see where all of our hard work ends up around the world. Also check out our 100% Biota cultured office tank
