🐟 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡 🐟 Hi there! I’m a dottyback—a bright purple fish that loves to hide behind the rocks. People are always looking for me because of my colour, so sometimes I come out to say hello and make them smile. I also enjoy having my own little spot to relax and watch the world go by. You might notice I’m the only dottyback in the tank. That’s because we dottybacks like to have our space. But I do enjoy having clownfish (Nemos) around. They’re fun, lively, and make great neighbours! My favourite thing about living in the Living Ecosystem Aquarium is the Living Blocks reef structure. It’s like a big maze with so many hiding spots and corals to explore. There’s always something new to discover, and I feel safe and happy here.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥 It all starts with installation! In less than an hour, everything is set up, including the aquarium, cabinet, reef, corals, fish, and water. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 As the light cycles on the first day to moonlight, the water has already cleared, the fish are active and hungry, and the corals have started to stretch out to explore their new position on the reef. 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 The reef is thriving, and the family can fully enjoy their stunning new aquarium. Watch the kids discover their new fish buddies and coral crew as their new pets—they’ve just gained a few new family members they are going to love!

Their commitment extends beyond infrastructure to actively supporting businesses like ours that are making a real impact. The grant will strengthen our collaborations with The University of Western Australia’s Dr Katarina Helena D. 𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲 and Dr Isobel Sewell and Shanae Read at Central Regional TAFE, advancing sustainable aquaculture of corals and ornamental marine fish. Together, we are shaping a future where marine aquariums combine education, natural beauty, and environmental responsibility. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 has already added significant value to UWA's Science in Practice (SCIE5005) course, which was completed last term by MSc students. The program provided real-world research experience in marine and molecular science as well as entrepreneurship. This initiative is training the next generation of marine scientists, molecular researchers, and entrepreneurs to lead the sustainable future of the global marine aquarium industry. With our shared vision of a world filled with Living Ecosystems, we are positioning WA to lead the global transition to sustainable practices in the marine aquarium industry.

The Daylight Phase (12:00 PM - 8:00 PM) brings bright, natural light, giving energy to the corals and keeping fish active and lively. 🌙 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 As the day winds down, the Moonlight Phase (8:00 PM - 10:00 PM) sets a calm mood with soft blue light, showing off the glow of your corals. 🌌 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐍𝐞𝐦𝐨! At night, the lights go off completely during the Night Phase (10:00 PM - 8:00 AM), letting your fish rest and recharge, just like in nature.

Each one deserves a name—just like any other beloved pet in your family. Clownfish can live between 6-8 years and thrive in our Living Blocks reef and coral shelters. With their fascinating social structure, the largest fish becomes the dominant mum, and if she’s gone, the dad transforms to take her place as the matriarch, ensuring the young ones always have parents to look after them. Aquacultured and sustainably raised, our clownfish come in classic orange-and-white, bold black-and-white, or unique designer patterns—it’s your choice which colour you prefer for your home. Learn more about their unique dynamics and why they are the perfect pet for your family: https://lnkd.in/gZcXZC5r #livingoceans #nemo #clownfish #sustainableaquariums #marineconservation #aquacultureinnovation #protectouroceans #livingoceansaquariums #oceaninspiredliving #livingecosystem #marineconservation #sustainableaquariums #reefaquarium #protectourreefs #marinefishkeeping #marinereeftank #marinereefaquarium #universitywa #centralregionaltafe #universityofwesternaustralia #aquariumhobby #ecofriendlyfishtank

𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫! This holiday season, we’re making a splash by delivering our Living Ecosystem Aquarium to one of our best customers in Perth!

From day one, it’s a self-sustaining ecosystem that naturally recycles its own nutrients without effort from its owners. Thank you, Mark Stothard and family, for believing in a World of Living Ecosystems and sharing your excitement with others. Every home deserves the beauty of the ocean.
