Trawling the world for high quality fish to suit all tastes

Swallow Aquatics prides itself on being able to offer fish of every available species from all parts of the world and we are constantly on the lookout for 'new' fish which we think fishkeepers would like to try in their tanks.

If it's on sale - we will try to get it for you!

Our network of suppliers makes impressive reading.

  • Singapore acts as the distribution broker for all parts of Asia including Malaysia and China. Fish imported from this area include Clown Loach, Gourami, Koi Angels, Neon Tetras, Koi and Fancy Goldfish. We also import soft corals and plants.

  • India - including many native Indian fish such as Scats, Botias and Barbs.
  • Africa - Nigeria and Zaire. Social conditions in Africa often make it difficult to export, but our imports include Synodontus Catfish, Mbu Pufferfish and Upside Down Catfish.
  • Egypt - imports including Red Sea fish, Purple Tangs, Addis Butterflies and Semilarvatus Butterflies.
  • Japan - Koi.
  • Hawaii - Hawaiian marine fish, Yellow Tangs and Flame Angels.
  • Czech Republic - offers a unique importing opportunity for Swallow Aquatics. The company buys from a co-operative of small fish breeders - who  breed  between one and three species in their garage, outhouse, or even the living room. The exciting aspect to this business is the fish leaving the Czech Republic in this way are not usually bred commercially in any other part of the world. The fish are of the highest quality and among imports are Neons, Cardinal Tetras, Clown Loaches and Rift Valley Cichlids.
  • Denmark - offers the company a wide variety of tropical tank plants.
