We started up as freshwater aquarium hobbyists who spent substantial amounts of time with our interest, in fact totaling to over 35 years practical hands-on experience.

Being fortunate to be in a country where for a number of years aquarists have had freshwater aquariums, we were able to study and experiment with this hobby rather easily and inexpensively, until things went out of control and factors related to this wonderful world of fish keeping got more and more difficult as time went by.

Aqua Culture Kenya Ltd was formed due to an incident that changed our hobbies into a full aquarium business.

A friend of ours who lives in Nairobi complained to us via e-mail how expensive it was to buy quality fish from here. This didn't come as a surprise since many of these fish were being imported from South East Asia (SEA) - and a large portion from Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. To help our friend out, we tried doing some research on exporters from SEA and were looking for key qualities such as product quality and price; including service.

The result we found was extremely encouraging!

Most of the competition makes the buying process extremely difficult for their customers. They do not have clear customer oriented policies and are just difficult to do business with due to lack of technical assistance and other vital equipment to help create better aquariums.

Many of them even suspect us of espionage since the competition is extremely tough. And by being careful to the extreme, we found it very hard even to ask for price lists. For these reasons customer service is severely compromised. Then our friend (name withheld due to privacy reasons) gave us a suggestion that rendered light bulbs in our heads. "Why don't YOU start your own retail business and give what your customers really want?" And you guess it, here we are.

Aqua Culture Kenya policies are very clear from the start. We are fully customer oriented and we are always in the process of improving our customer support and product quality. We welcome and appreciate ALL feedback-good and bad, so that we can use the valuable information to improve how we can keep YOU happy and satisfied. It is here that we would like to lighten your worry about fish problems - it is a fact that we worry as much as you do.
