Imagine a Wonderful Place... Capital Exotic Fish - PoPville

Imagine a store where you are always greeted when you walk in. The staff knows your name, favorite hobby (exotic fish, underwater plants, and magnificent aquariums), and can quickly assess your needs so you make good selections.

The stereo is powered by Bose, and there are two Chill Zones — a dedicated place in the store, each with comfortable sofas, oriental rugs, and multiple show-tanks surrounding you with relaxation and happiness. The store has over 70 tanks.

Capital Exotic Fish (CEF) is a family-owned business with a strong team of employees coming out of the Aquarium Industry. The General Manger, Chris Teems, left Alabama to lead the CEF team. The Manager, Nick Kinser, is a nationally renowned aquascaper and established the Glen Echo Aquarium. James Blehr spent 15 years managing a PetCo Fish Division. This talent pool is seven staff members deep.

CEF's founders, and team members, are deeply committed to habitat protection and sustainability. About 80% of its fish are domestically bred and many are from CEF's own tanks. They have hundreds of juveniles — Discus, Cichlids, African Cichlids, Betas, and Plecos. CEF offers free bi-weekly classes on Fridays between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. The last class was taught by Nick — Aquarium Plants 101 and in June we hosted the World's third best aquascaper, Hiep Hong. About 100 people attended the three day event.

CEF also offers Installation and Maintenance contracts. In fact, next month, our show tanks can be found in Vaughan Place (high-end residential community), a local law office, and American University. CEF is highly service oriented and pays attention to every detail and we look forward to meeting your installation and maintenance contracts.

We are also opening a sizeable Saltwater section and will specialize in corals!

Capital Exotic Fish offers discounts to veterans, law enforcement, and fire fighters. Capital Exotic Fish is located at 3404 Idaho Avenue, NW. Starting in early September, CEF will be open everyday from 11 a.m.-7 p.m., except Wednesday. Follow @capitalexoticfish on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with the latest news/inventory.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
