KatsAquatics

That's why I started my business, KatsAquatics

As a young aquarist with an ever-growing love for the hobby, I know how important it is to treat all of our tank in habitants with the best care possible, whether that be fish, shrimp, snails, or plants.

Always a blast seeing friends at Aquashella! Shout out to Lisa and John from for being one of the first businesses to believe in, and stand by KatsAquatics!! Lisa and John were by our side for over two years, before anyone else even knew us. Much love for everyone we met and spoke to today! Hope to see everyone again tomorrow!

Oh hey there!!
All of our geckos are finally up on the website!
They’re only available for presale right now, as they’re all still small babies.
BUT, they’re all up, as well as our current dams/sires (mothers/fathers), and future ones as well.

Take a peek, it sure it interesting! 🥰

Happy International Woman’s day!
I hope today every single woman is cherished, told she’s loved, appreciated, and respected even more than every other day.
But if you don’t get to hear that from a loved one today, let me be the one to say you’re beautiful, smart, and stronger than you think. You matter, and have great meaning in this world, even if it may not seem like it for a minute or two. Better yet, if today’s not your day, before you know it you will be one of the most important and loved people in someone’s life.

Have a fantastic day, and while you’re at it, maybe stop by our newest retailer, Exotic Reef Aquatic 😉 they have an incredible salt, and freshwater section, as well as your favorite calcium.

One of our female bettas, who was just an egg herself, in this very same facility, didn’t wish the same success upon the Cory eggs she found. Without thinking twice, she ripped them open with her teeth and consumed the day old embryos inside before we had a chance to remove them. If you look closely you can actually see the tears in the eggs.
This is why we always want to separate eggs into their own tanks, so they don’t fall prey to any predators, even if it is a one inch juvenile betta.
Still great news though, because that means our long fin pandas are finally breeding!

Did you know that mystery snails have over 10,000 teeth! That makes chewing on KatsAquatics calcium a breeze

Photo shoot featuring ALL of our calcium… even the unreleased saltwater calcium 👀👀

Yesterday I took out Tarzan to feed him, and realized after I picked him up that he’s shedding! This is the first time I’ve actually seen him shed, even though he’s doubled in size since I’ve had him!
Normally it is advised to not handle reptiles during their shed, and if I knew he was shedding, I wouldn’t pick him up. Anyhow, I snapped a quick picture, skipped the feeding and put Tarzan back in his personal rainforest so he could finish his shed in peace:)

While many of my favorite friends and retailers are having a blast at Aquashella Dallas, I’m trying to get a koi to nibble on my finger😂
I would have loved to come to Dallas this year, but I had to stay in NYC this time to work on getting KatsAquatics into your favorite BIG name stores…
That being said, I confirmed Aquashella Chicago, and it will be my most successful exhibition yet - third time’s a charm 😉

One of our wonderful ambassadors captured some gorgeous footage of the calcium tablets at work!

✨Customer Highlight✨
Featuring a KatsAquatics’ customer’s lucky Fiddler Crab who’s going to be getting all his calcium and nutrition needs met!
Fiddler crabs are one of the less common common invertebrate we see in this hobby, but they deserve the best too!

Everybody’s wondering how they could get a bite of the calcium under the pile of snails 🥰

06/11/2022

And just like that, I’m another year older today!
What a transformative, blessings filled and amazing year I’ve had! There were many, and I mean MANY small and substantial bumps along the way. But something that’s always kept me standing up straight is knowing I am part of such a wonderful community, and have a chance to communicate with fellow hobbyists, customers and retailers. You’re all wonderful, and I’m so thankful to be on this journey together!
Plus, it’s almost the official KatsAquatics birthday too! While ive been operating KatsAquatics for about 2 years now, it was only officially recognized by the state of NY as an official business last year, just a few days after my birthday (had to wait till I turn 18 to file paperwork, lol)
That means two years of learning, growing, sharing, upgrading and meeting so many great new people😊
I can’t wait to grow together and see where this journey takes us!

Customers are in love!!

More than 150 jars are getting ready to embark on their journey to today!
Lisa and John at are one of KatsAquatics’s beloved retailers, and are having a huge restock to make sure every single hobbyist can get their very own jar of calcium!
It’s a special kind of feeling to know that the YouTubers I used to watch (and still do!) for years are now not only my partners, but friends too.
It’s such a pleasure to work together to bring everything “Natural, Nutritious, and Necessary” to hobbyists nationwide! 📦📫

Coming over a house with fish tanks just means feeding them some KatsAquatics calcium 😉

Feeding a white worm to my Venus fly trap!
Normally I water all of my plants with water straight from my fishtanks , but that’s a huge no no for Venus fly traps! Even the slightest nutrient or mineral content in water (which aquarium water has A LOT of) will kill the plant. Even soft NYC tap water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) quantity of about 22 is far too much for these guys!
They require pristine water. Therefore only rain water, RODI, or purified water is the only water these plants will thrive off.
This is because these plants obtain all of their nutrients from live prey such as crickets, flys or white worms which they capture in their motion activated traps!

Brought home 3 more pea puffers - hopefully they’ll be a happy shoal of 5 . . . . . . . #KatsAquatics #peapuffers #wow #aquarium #cute #pets #aquascaping #freshwateraquarium #pufferfish

Late night set up of another crested gecko enclosure - this time for my lily white juvenile. . This terrarium still feels incomplete, I’ll either get her a large piece of spider wood, more plants, or give it a few months to grow in. I already added a few hides to the enclosure, not seen in the video. Not shown in video: Adding isopods, watering soil, planting the foliage.

I didn’t know hatching out snails could start such a ruckus on various social media platforms! Anyways, here’s what we do with the snails once they’re a few months old 😉 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #neocaridinashrimp #neocaridina #freshwatershrimp #freshwatershrimptank #blueboltshrimp #cherryshrimp #cherryshrimptank #fishbreeding #fish #aquarium #amazing #fishstore #plantedtank #plantedaquarium #katsaquatics #mysterysnails #calcium #calciumtablet #freshwateraquarium #mysterysnail #applesnail #fishtanksofinstagram #aquariumhobby #aquariumfish

Can you guess how many hatched out in this clutch?

I spent years hatching out snails, and this is by far the easiest method, plus it has the highest success rate. . All you need is a chunk of styrofoam, and a small plastic container (make sure it is light, and will be able to float with the help of the styrofoam). This creates a humid environment for the eggs, allowing the snails to eventually hatch out and not be encapsulated by dry, hard eggshell. . Once they hatch, they can crawl off into the tanks by themselves and begin their new lives

Glad I wasn’t the only one munching down last night 🥲 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #KatsAquatics #snailfood #calcium #shrimpfood #aquarium #fishfood #fishtank #snails #neocaridinashrimp #KatsAquaticsCalcium #nutrition #cherryshrimp #neocaridina #fishtank #aquariumfish

We weren’t the only ones feasting this thanksgiving 🍁 . Calcium + Immunity on display! . (And it’s on sale until Saturday (11/24) night 😉)

In terms of shrimp, red+red can equal blue! . Both of this shrimps parents, grandparents, and great grandparents are red, but it turned out blue!! All wild type neocaridina shrimp are black/brown, but aquarists have specifically bred them to have favorable colors such as red, blue, green, and so forth. . There are many different color possibilities in neocaridina shrimp, and they can all breed with each other. But, we have to keep them separate, because if red and blue shrimp breed with each other, they will have healthy babies, but the “color” genes will be weakened. After a few generations of mixed breeding, you will have a tank filled with brown-black shrimp that have all reverted to their wild phenotype. The blue shrimp is still beautiful, but will need to be separated from the red colony to make sure we keep producing red shrimp. The blue one is already berried though, and I’m excited to see what her offspring will look like! Any guesses? . . . . . . . . . . . #KatsAquatics #snailfood #calcium #shrimpfood #aquarium #fishfood #fishtank #snails #neocaridinashrimp #KatsAquaticsCalcium #nutrition #cherryshrimp #neocaridina #fishtank #aquariumfish

I’ve never seen this before, but, I am quite optimistic it will still be able to hatch! What do you think?

Here at KatsAquatics, we’ve proudly created a calcium product that will NOT dissolve into your water, or mess with your water parameters. Instead, it will remain whole, allowing your various invertebrates to devour it over the course of a few hours if they need to! . When keeping sensitive shrimp and snails, you NEVER want to have cloudy blue water, or have your water parameters rapidly fluctuating ! That’s not only unsightly, but also very dangerous for all tank inhabitants. . Do you have only a few shrimp or snails who haven’t finished their food? No problem! Easily scoop it right out. . Or maybe you have huge colonies of hundreds, keep them healthy and breeding with the hundreds of tablets packed into one jar! . When choosing KatsAquatics, you can rest assured that your inverts are receiving all of the nutrition they require, without any negative side effects. And that, is what allows them to “Live Long, Swim Strong™️” 😉
