When May 2023 rolled around, I was in the mindset of “time to turn on the website” when the unthinkable happened. James Lawrence, the Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of CORAL Magazine, unexpectedly passed away. Simply put, in addition to all I do for both publications, I had little option but to steward CORAL Magazine forward, taking on the duties that James normally covered.
Heading into the winter of 2020/2021, I decided to up our shipping game yet again. Many years ago, I conducted shipping tests as well as participated in shipping trials with other companies. This is how I know that the shipping methods I use work, even in extreme cases (such as having a box of a […]
MiniWater’s vivarium plant offerings are *primarily* wholesale only; we strongly believe in supporting the independent pet retailers, whenever possible. Our retail partners know that we only offer things at retail if we can’t sell them wholesale, and we’ll never undercut a retailer with a lower retail price online. Shop owners – If you just need […]
Congratulations! If you found your way here after purchasing a MiniWaters vivarium plant, this is the page where you’ll learn everything about how we produce our plants and the transparent philosophy behind why we call them Safe, Clean, and Trustworthy.

Unfortunately they’re not in production here, and my breeding partners aren’t producing them either lately. What followed was a question basically asking “hey, do you know where I can get them?” and the sentiment that […]
If we don’t promote and sell fishes like these Captive-bred Jackknifes, I just see a future where a company like Proaquatix would stop producing them, and that’s not a future I want to see!
