Aquariums As Far As The Eye Can See
We hope you enjoy this tour of one of the largest ornamental fish export facilities in South America. We were impressed beyond belief at the sheer size, not to mention how they managed to keep all of tanks organized, clean and well cared for.
We could have gotten lost wandering around this facility. The owner so kindly spent the majority of the day with us. He took us through the entire facility, answering any questions we had about how it functions, what their processes are and the nitty gritty details of how they stay afloat amidst all of the bureaucratic turmoil.
Hearing about how fish are actually transported from place to place around Brazil was eye-opening and made us begin to comprehend why certain fish cost more than others. The logistics to get many fish from their collection location to the export facility is quite a feat!
Giving Back
One of the most notable aspects of this export facility is that they are intensely involved in the research side of the industry. They conduct their own projects and take part in countless others. At the time we were there they were involved in 30 different projects to help move the science forward in Brazil. They donate many fish to different organizations and institutions, one of them being INPA Manaus, the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia.

There was so much to see that we came back for another day and were equally intrigued and amazed the second time around. Join us for Episode 3, where we return and show you even more behind the scenes footage of how this facility functions!
