Hand Picked Marine Livestock from TMC
At Birchwood Aquatic Centre, we don’t simply accept every fish that’s available. Whenever possible, we personally hand-pick our marine livestock from Tropical Marine Centre, allowing us to choose fish that meet our own high standards before they ever arrive in our aquariums.
When selecting fish, we look for:
- Bright, vibrant colouration
- Healthy body condition
- Good size and shape
- Clear eyes and undamaged fins
- Active behaviour
- Fish that are feeding well
- Overall health and condition
By carefully selecting our livestock, we can offer our customers healthy, well-established fish that have the best possible start in their new aquariums.
Once they arrive at Birchwood Aquatic Centre, our marine fish are carefully acclimated, monitored and fed before being offered for sale. If we’re not happy with the condition of a fish, it simply won’t make it into our display tanks.
We believe taking the time to choose quality livestock is one of the reasons our customers return to us time and time again for their marine fish.
