Kenya has a small number of marine ornamental fish exporters, and importers new to the region often ask how to tell them apart. This guide covers what matters when you choose a Kenya ornamental fish exporter.
1. Licensing & documentation
A legitimate exporter holds the correct Kenyan fishing and export licences and issues CITES permits and KEPHIS health certificates. Read our CITES guide for what should appear on your paperwork.
2. DOA record & packing
Ask for a typical dead-on-arrival rate. Bluefields targets and holds under 2% — see our mortality-prevention method and packing standards.
3. Range & reliability
Look for a broad, consistent species list and a regular stocklist. Ours covers 250+ species — see the species index and the weekly availability list.
