SUSTAINABLE TROPICAL FISH FARM
At the core of 5D Tropical lies our impressive 235-acre fish farm, specially designed to house and nurture a vast array of rare tropical fish species. Divided into carefully managed sections by species, our sustainable farm provides the perfect environment for fish to thrive. From the moment fry are released into our meticulously prepared ponds, they receive top-tier care. This includes tailored feeding routines and routine inspections to ensure exceptional health, vibrant coloration, and premium quality.
Our commitment to fish farm sustainability, quality, and innovation guarantees that every fish we produce meets the highest standards. To learn more about our facility or tropical fish selection, or to place an order, please feel free to contact us today!
The Field Department serves as the heart of our Tropical Fish Farm.
The 235 acres of farmland is divided into sections by species. Fry are released into carefully prepared ponds in the appropriate area. These fish are then fed a variety of diets and inspected routinely for size, health, coloration and overall quality.
The Field Department is responsible for inspecting and maintaining nearly 1200 ponds. This includes feeding and harvesting the fish that occupy these bodies of water.
Throughout the farm we have a team of individuals trained to grade and count tropical fish.
During the winter months, 95 percent of the ponds located in Plant City, Florida are covered with high-grade plastic sheeting, like a greenhouse, thus using solar energy to maintain the water temperature. Bird netting and/or shade cloth is used to cover the ponds during the warmer months. Approximately 500 ponds are located below the freeze belt in Arcadia, Florida. During cold winter nights, we pump 80° F well water into these ponds to maintain the water temperature.
