Our Charter

At Astarte Aquaria, our aim is to promote responsible fishkeeping by providing good advice and ensuring that we only sell healthy livestock. We care for your fish as much as you do, and their welfare is our top priority. This commitment is reflected in our adherence to our Charter, which lays out our rules designed to safeguard the well-being of all fish under our care. We believe that by following these guidelines, we can contribute to a healthier aquatic environment and foster a community of responsible aquarists who value the happiness and welfare of their fish.

Ethical Fishkeeping

At Astarte Aquaria, the needs of our livestock are our utmost priority. We created our own charter and rules surpassing the minimum industry requirement to ensure that we meet and exceed the highest welfare standards within the industry. This commitment underscores our dedication to ethical practices, as we will never knowingly sell products that compromise the health and well-being of our aquatic inhabitants. By adhering to our ethical guidelines, we strive to promote responsible stewardship of marine life and foster a sustainable aquaculture environment that benefits both our customers and the planet.

New Aquariums

At Astarte Aquaria, we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our aquatic life. For newly-established aquaria, we believe in responsible practices and therefore refrain from selling large numbers of fish. Overstocking can lead to stressed ecosystems and compromised water quality, which is detrimental to both fish and the enjoyment of the aquarium hobbyist. Our commitment is to ensure that every aquarium has the capacity to sustain its inhabitants properly, fostering a thriving aquatic environment.

Unsuitable Fish

At Astarte Aquaria, we are committed to the wellbeing of all aquatic life, which is why we take a firm stance against selling fish that are unsuitable for captivity. We believe in promoting responsible fishkeeping practices, ensuring that every species we offer is compatible with an aquarium environment. Our dedication to ethical sourcing means that we prioritise the health and longevity of these creatures, rather than simply meeting demand. By refusing to sell unsuitable fish, we aim to educate our customers and foster a community that values the preservation of marine ecosystems.

Innovating the Future

At Astarte Aquaria, we are committed to innovation in fishkeeping, constantly exploring new products and approaches that not only sustain and nurture our aquatic livestock but also ignite the passion of our customers. Our dedication to research and development ensures that we stay at the forefront of the industry, delivering solutions that enhance the well-being of fish and aquatic ecosystems. By prioritising sustainability and creativity, we aim to transform the way enthusiasts engage with their aquariums, fostering a deeper connection between our customers and their aquatic companions.

No Fish and Tanks on the same day

At Astarte Aquaria, we adhere to a strict policy ensuring that we do not sell both fish and aquaria on the same day. This rule is in place to promote the health and well-being of our aquatic life, as well as to provide our customers with the best possible service. By separating these transactions, we can ensure that each aquarist receives the guidance and attention they need to create a suitable environment for their new aquatic companions. This commitment to responsible selling reflects our dedication to fostering a thriving underwater ecosystem.

Through workshops, informative resources, and engaging discussions, we strive to empower individuals with the understanding they need to create healthy and thriving aquatic environments.

No Artificial Colours

At Astarte Aquaria, we pride ourselves on our commitment to authenticity and integrity in the aquatic life we offer.

In sickness and in Health

At Astarte Aquaria, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of health and wellbeing for all our aquatic livestock. We will not knowingly sell unhealthy specimens, as we believe that the wellbeing of our animals is paramount. Our dedicated team ensures that each fish, coral, and invertebrate is thoroughly assessed for any signs of sickness before it reaches our customers. This commitment not only fosters a thriving aquatic environment but also guarantees that our clients receive healthy, vibrant livestock that will enhance their aquatic ecosystems.

Responsible Feeding

At Astarte Aquaria, we adhere to a strict policy regarding the feeding practices for our aquatic inhabitants. We do not permit the use of live fish as food for our animals, as we believe in promoting humane and ethical treatment of all creatures. Instead, we provide a carefully curated diet consisting of high-quality, nutritionally balanced frozen and dried foods, ensuring that each species receives the appropriate nutrients for optimal health.
