How to identify authentic Sea Dwelling Creatures stock

Named cultivars are easy to fake online. Authentic Sea Dwelling Creatures stock can be traced back to the originator either by direct purchase from Sea Dwelling Creatures or by a documented frag chain through a known maricultured vendor. On Fast Aquatics, vendors selling Sea Dwelling Creatures lineages carry an "Originator credit: Sea Dwelling Creatures" badge on the listing - a misuse of that badge is grounds for vendor suspension.

For collectors paying premium for named lineages, the Living Guarantee 6-month / 12-month upgrades give you the longest possible window to confirm growth + coloration matches the named lineage's reference photos.

Aquarium-keeping fundamentals

Whatever specific topic brought you here, four fundamentals govern long-term aquarium success: water quality, parameter stability, biological filtration, and species-appropriate husbandry. Skip any one and the others struggle to compensate.

Water quality: ammonia + nitrite at zero, nitrate under 30 ppm freshwater + 10 ppm reef. Test weekly with API or Salifert kits. Use our water parameter checker to score your readings against your tank type.

Parameter stability: stable wrong parameters beat fluctuating ideal parameters. Most fish tolerate a wide pH range if it's stable. Sudden swings of 0.4+ pH or 5+°F kill fish faster than chronic suboptimal values. Use temperature controllers (Inkbird) + automated dosing for consistency.

Biological filtration: the bacterial colony on your filter media + rock + substrate is the engine. Never replace all media at once. Use our filter turnover calculator to size correctly.

Species-appropriate husbandry: research adult size, territoriality, diet, and tankmate compatibility before purchase. Use our tank stocking calculator + compatibility guides.
