Why buy from us?
Sustainability represents a critical, yet often overlooked aspect that will shape the future of our society. The popularity of the aquarium hobby has been steadily on the rise, highlighting the importance of shedding light on the acquisition of endangered and at-risk plants and fish within this community. It is crucial that we actively choose to support hobbyists that breed these species rather than resorting to purchasing wild-caught fish.
By making informed and responsible choices in our aquarium hobby, we can play a pivotal role in safeguarding the environment and preserving the diverse aquatic life that is so dear to us. Ignoring this issue may lead to stricter regulations from organizations like NOAA, potentially endangering the very hobby we cherish and the vital conservation efforts it currently supports.
Ace Aquarist is dedicated to exclusively offering home-bred fish and plants, ensuring that our beloved hobby remains a powerful force for conservation. Together, we can sustain the beauty and wonder of our underwater world with the help of the community.

Meet the Founder
Meet Dan, a devoted hobbyist with a profound passion for aquascaping, plant cultivation, fish breeding, and more! Driven by his unwavering commitment and enthusiasm, Dan embarked on a journey to establish Ace Aquarist (AA), a website & store dedicated to supporting fellow hobbyists in the Plano & Dallas area. Dan's primary mission in creating AA was to foster the exchange of aquatic life within the hobby, thereby reducing the reliance on wild imports and promoting sustainability in the aquarium community. His vision for AA extends beyond merely selling livestock; he aspires to expand the organization's reach, educating others about sustainability in the aquarium hobby and igniting a newfound interest in this hobby among future aquarists through other forms of social media as well.
