Thanks for visiting! I’m a fish breeder and aquaculture researcher. I’ve been culturing marine aquarium fish for sale and research since the mid 1990s. I’m also fortunate to be able to photograph the things I’m passionate about: nature, the ocean, marine life. My favorite photography subjects are sharks, reef fishes, and fish larvae. I’m a fish nut! This site hosts my fish culture research and my underwater photography.
