About Us

History

Aquatica Tropicals was originally formed in 1984 and is strategically located in Central Florida.

We are a leader in the aquaculture industry for freshwater ornamental fish production.

Additionally, we have the unique ability to offer aquatic holding space for Public Aquaria. Our facility sits on 10 acres of land with multiple greenhouse structures and a 70,000 sq ft. category 5 hurricane rated solid poured concrete building.


Aquatica Tropicals began the R4 program in 2014 to meet the growing need for offsite holding space in the Public Aquaria industry.

Systems can be leased for multiple purposes. They can be used for the rescue of animals that have been injured or threatened by environmental factors in the wild. They are often used for the retirement of aquatic animals that are no longer suitable for Public Aquaria display. Temporary holding can be set up for animals that are being repurposed internally or for animals awaiting transfer to another institution. We are also able to provide rehabilitation care for animals that have been injured while on display or during transport. Each system can be set up or modified to meet the specific needs of the species being housed under our care.
