Foster a tank for your business. Get the beauty and none of the work.
Daily Needs
We desperately need your help! Our electric bill has spiked to over $600 durring the cold snap and we are spending over $150 a month for feeding. Our water bills are outrageous as well. We can not continue without your help. Please, please, please donate to keep us running.
Our Outreach
We donate fully stocked tanks to Veterans with injuries and PTSD so they have something to focus on and take their mind off their troubles, we also donate to students and the elderly in need of companionship. Please donate if you would like to help us help others.
Rescue Pickups
We get calls to pick up fish all over the state and transportation is always difficult. We're currently driving to pick up fish in a 2002 Daewoo or begging our friends with trucks to help when the fish are too big for our little car. We need a little box truck. If you have one you can donate that would be great, otherwise please chip in a few bucks towards the fund.
Two locations to serve you
VOLUNTEER
We always need volunteers. We need dedicated fish people like you to help pick up surrendered fish, help keep surrendered fish that we don’t have room for, help with water changes and general maintenance, help with building DIY filters and tanks, help fund raise, shoot video. Whatever your skills we will put them to good use. Click the button below and let us know you would like to volunteer.
We can’t help if we don’t know where help is needed. Please contact us before releasing fish in Florida’s ecosystem
Fish Rescue
Sometimes you just can't keep your tropical fish. Maybe you're moving, or you're redecorating or you just can't take care of them anymore whatever your reasons we'll adopt them.
Adopt a fish
Looking for new fish for your tank but the pet store has a limited variety? We have some amazing fish that need a new home and our experts can help you choose.
Fish Medics
So you have a fish tank that's going sour and you know those fish are going to die if someone doesn't intervene. Don't let that happen call us first. We'll try to help you resolve the problem.

Aquatic animals are our specialty and sometimes they need a safe place to go too. We will home those little four legged swimmers too.
