We're happy to support a new clam farm out of the Red Sea. Our first shipment came in beautifully earlier this month and are now available for purchase. Every single Biota Employee can't stop staring and pointing out their favorites. Which ones are your favorites...

Just a PSA to anyone out there that might be looking for feedback/reviews before purchasing from Biota. I recently purchased a single Yellow Tang from Biota. Tang was packaged and shipped in October (time of this post) to the Midwest. Package arrived on time, but upon opening, the fish looked...

After years of trying to crack the Potter's Angelfish our amazing team in Hawaii and the Oceanic Institute has successfully captive-bred the Potter's Angelfish. I'm incredibly thankful for the support of all of our vendors, hobbyists, and friends around the industry who have made this feat...

Hey y'all we finally have some small crocea and maxima clams available again! Our WYSIWYG section has a great selection of them and we plan to update more over the weekend! If you're looking for specific patterns or coloration that isn't listed please let us know. We're also pairing Easy Reefs...

At the recent MACNA Aquatic Expo we met up with Pacific North West Custom Acrylics and fell in love with their 0.3G Micro Reefs so we bought a few for our office. Our dwarf gobies are thriving in these tanks. We'll be setting up a few more but show us some of our micro and pico reefs for...

3 weeks ago we added a school of 10 captive bred Hawaiian Yellow Tangs from Biota to our 6’ 228g system! They are amazing. They range in size from 1.5” to 2.5” with 3 of them being bullied. At night they all sleep in the same area and tolerate eachother, during the day they act like a bunch of...

Hey Y'all, After months of hard work we finally have some yellows to put up on the site! These guys are all around 1.25"-1.5" in sizing and taking on tons of pellets, frozen food, nori, and fresh ulva. I had a limited amount to put up on the site...

Alright y'all, We have some crazy angelfish in stock right now. The newest addition to our availability is the Nebula Angelfish or the Xanthotis X Griffis Angelfish Hybrid. These came in looking amazing and no two look the same. These are some of the rarest angelfish in the world since their...

I just added two brand new species to our site and an old favorite! First we have the lyretail damselfish, these are actually very cool damsels that like to school in the mid level of the reef tank. The black and yellow pattern really stands out in a reef tank so much so that I put a school of...

Hey y'all, I just updated the site with 2 new offerings: The captive-bred Colin's Angelfish is rarely found in the hobby but is a nice bright yellow and blue angel. I only have 2 of these available so they'll go fast! https://shop.thebiotagroup.com/products/colins-angelfish I also have a...

Hey Y'all We know hobbyists want Matted filefish that eat already Aiptasia, so we feed our matted filefish aiptasia and hydroids weekly so they can recognize them in your tanks. Check out the GoPro video below. If you have a huge Aiptasia problem I recommend a few of these guys with our...

Hey y'all, I just did a massive update on our website where I added 100 WYSIWYG Crocea clams. Each one of these is incredibly cool and unique from each other. In my opinion crocea clams are the second easiest clams to house in home aquaria right next to derasa clams. Put them in medium to high...

Hey R2R, We're happy to announce we've had another breakthrough on a brand new species. Before we officially announce it let's get some guesses from the R2R community! Check out the first two photos below:

So here at Biota we've had success in every major family of marine ornamental fishes and I was wondering what species you want to see captive-bred next? Maybe we can make that dream a reality! For attention, below is a video of our first ever captive-bred red coris wrasse at 49dph which was a...

Everyone knows us for our captive-bred mandarins and for great reason! Our mandarins are fed a diet of pellet and frozen foods so when they get into your tank they're already acclimated and ready to thrive. Check out this video of a group of them chowing down on some TDO B2 and PE hatchery...

I only have only two of these captive-bred goldflake angelfish in stock! The gold flake is a beautiful angelfish that does well in mixed reefs and is among some of the better options to be reef safe for angelfish. They're great to add at this 2.5-3" sizing so they can grow into your tank and...

One of coolest holy grail fish are finally much more obtainable! I've got a batch of our captive-bred Cuban Basslets (Gramma dejongi) for sale on the site at this new pricing. These guys are 2.5"+, reef safe, and eating everything you throw at them (mostly TDO pellet, Hikari Mysis, and PE...

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...
