Thousands of Clownfish Raised Here Without Touching Wild Reefs

Most people assume aquarium fish are taken from the ocean. What if that didn’t have to be true? Learn more at https://www.proaquatix.com In this video, I take you behind the scenes at Proaquatix, a large-scale aquaculture facility that breeds captive-bred aquarium fish entirely on site. Proaquatix is best known for breeding clownfish, but they also raise marine fish for public aquariums, helping reduce the need for wild-caught fish. You’ll see how clownfish are bred from eggs to juveniles, how marine fish breeding works at scale, and why aquaculture and captive breeding play a critical role in reef conservation and ocean sustainability.

Whether you’re interested in how aquarium fish are bred, sustainable aquariums, or the future of the marine aquarium hobby, this is a side of the industry most people never get to see.
