Aquarium fish distributors and wholesalers depend on a reliable upstream source — an exporter that delivers consistent volume, honest availability and healthy stock, week after week, so they can supply their own networks with confidence. Bluefields Aquatics is that source. As a licensed marine fish exporter on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, we supply distributors and wholesalers in more than 67 countries with over 250 marine species, hand-collected and packed to professional export standards. This page is written for businesses that resell marine fish and need a dependable supply partner.
What distributors need from a source
A distributor’s reputation rests on the exporter behind it. Three things matter most: consistent fish health, so your customers receive stock that survives and sells; reliable volume and availability, so you can plan and fulfil orders; and clean documentation, so shipments clear customs without delay. We are built around all three — sustainable collection and disease screening for health, a real weekly stocklist for availability, and a full export documentation set on every consignment. Our sub-2% DOA protects the survival rate your downstream customers depend on.
Supplying at distributor scale
We work with the order sizes and frequencies that distributors require, planning packing and routing to your specific destination from Mombasa (MBA) and Nairobi (NBO). Because we export direct from source, your stock travels a single leg and arrives fresher than fish re-shipped through intermediate hubs — a genuine advantage to pass on to your own customers. Our guides on packing and routing explain how we protect stock in transit at any scale.
A 250+ species catalogue
Distributors need breadth to serve a varied customer base. We list more than 250 marine species across 19 categories — tangs, angelfish, a deep wrasse range, butterflyfish, clownfish, damsels, triggers, puffers, eels and invertebrates — letting you build mixed consignments that cover every price point. Browse the species index, use our tang and wrasse guides, and request the weekly stocklist.
Documentation and setup
Every consignment carries CITES export permits for listed species, KEPHIS health certification and commercial documents. You meet your own country’s import requirements, which we will advise on. See our CITES guide and importing guide.
