Now that the dust is settled enough to see where we're going, we wanted to give an explination of what's been going on...

It's been a difficult year with Nichy's health. Everything they begin to get better a new issue is coming up. Since we started we were able to rescue 5 red ear sliders turtles, a dozen or more goldfish, an axolotl, and a few other community fish. On December 1st we were given notice that our lease (we had a lease-to-buy contract) was not being renewed, they no longer wished to sell to us, and they wanted us out by the of the month. This includes Olin and Nichy's home as it was a 2 structure peoperty. Legally, they have to give us 60 days but we're pushing for quicker. Olin and Nichy have found a new place to live but the space just isn't an option and having to rush with the costs of finding a new place (and it's the Holiday season) we just can't pay a 2nd rent for a place for the fish and reptiles.

So far we've removed all of the turtles and someone is coming today for several of the fish. Well post soon what's left. Thank you for your continued support!

We have some terrible news everyone. Our lease-with-intent-to-buy has been pulled out from under us. We have to move out ASAP and we will not have room to take everyone with is. Everything we have is free to a good home. Fish, turtles, aquariums, supplies, everything. Please DM Olin Bailey if you want to come get anything.

We finally made it to a REXPO event! We only had a couple hours to be there but it was a great time! Chatting with Caveman Critters, who is local to us, and someone dropped on him a chemeleon that needs some TLC. He was so gracious to transport her back this way for us as we couldnt take her at that moment so we are now happy to welcome Hazel, the Veiled Chameleon to the rescue. We're going to get her mended and give this geriatric girl her best last year or two possible!

Ms. Cynthia and Mr. Ron from [Edit:Williamsiville] have graciously donated several boxes of supplies as well as several tanks. Thank you so much!!!

(I had to stand on a ladder with my phone against the ceiling to fit it all in the picture!)

A local business just outside of Buffalo is getting rid of some overstock tanks (and store space). Have you ever wanted your own coral/marine business? This could be your chance!

We have baby Kribensis!!

02/26/2023

Time for another update!

We have a good sized meal worm colony going, we can start selling small quantities.

One of our Kribensis pairs give us a surprise clutch and the little fry are about the size of a grain of rice right now so a little while longer but they're coming along well.

We are still still on track to be open to the public this summer (visits by appointment if you'd like to see what we're up to).

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we get rolling.

It's been a while since we've posted and update and we apologize. Nichy handles the social media and they've been dealing with some health issues. We are still pushing along getting things ready to open up more.

Along with the turtles getting their upgrade a while back, we've also started a feeder guppy and mealworm colonies. Once they're producing enough, we'll have some for sale. We also should have some Kribensis fry soon!

Other food colonies were looking to add as soon as we can:
Convict cichlids
Earthworms
Dubai Roaches
Black Soldier Fly larvae
Blackworms
Live Brine Shrimp
Ghost Shrimp

Olin and I just watched this. We strongly encourage everyone to as well. It is eye opening and heartbreaking. I had tears in my eyes but it's so very important to the entire world's ecosystem. If we (all humans) can't figure out how to correct this, the cascading effect will destroy the planet we all love so much.

As the rescue grows, we will share more ways we all can help save our home.

A laugh is needed today after a beloved fur baby passed today.

What a terrible time in the United States right now. On the day of our official start, just a few miles away a tragedy happened in Buffalo, NY. Today in Texas another heart break and what makes it worse is this time was children. Please! With all that you hold holy, please stop looking at what color or gender someone is. We are all just people. If you must judge someone, judge them on how they treat other. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🇺🇲

Thanks so much for stopping by! We are excited to be finally up and running! We are working as quickly as possible to obtain any and all licensing that is needed as well as registering as a 501c3.
We’re sure you have LOADS of questions, and we welcome them all! I’ve listed a few of the most common we’ve received so far with their answers.

What is an aquatic rescue?
---We take in aquatic pets that are no longer wanted, the owner can no longer care for them, have grown too big for the owner to maintain a healthy habitat and to rehome to those looking to expand their hobby.

What will you rescue?
--- We can take on freshwater and saltwater (marine) fish, turtles, axolotls, frogs and toads, newts and salamanders.

There’s a snapping turtle in my pond! Please come get it!
---Our greatest apologies but at this time we cannot assist with native wildlife. Please call your local non-emergency law enforcement or the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

What made you want to start a fish rescue?
---Great question! There are a few reasons: Our original inspiration is credited to Ohio Fish Rescue. We always hated hearing about unwanted fish when we were at the pet store and then finding OFR on YouTube, we realized we wanted that too! Then, recently we began hearing about common goldfish becoming an invasive species in our own back yards! The more we asked around, we found out people are tossing their aquatic friends in our WNY creeks, rivers, and lakes. We knew we had to take a stand.

Why now?
---Fate has graced us with the opportunity to have a nearly 7000 square foot building in a great location.

Will you have a storefront?
---As we grow, we will be adding a small retail area for reverse osmosis (RO) water, safe and healthy life feeder fish, basic tank maintenance parts, etc.

How do I contact you?
---You’re more than welcome to send us a FB message, phone call, text or an email. We will have an official website up in the near future.
