There are a few GREAT suppliers in the Philippines that use hand and net-trained
divers. Our favorites are among the old-time original fish
shippers there with very good quality fish. Each source has its
strong points. Philippines has a great selection of fish, and
inverts especially. Some high demand items have recently
skyrocketed in price. For many types of fish and inverts,
it is the best place to get them.
This list is common name followed by scientific name (binomial) for accuracy.
We have combined a few different lists from over the course of several months
in order to be able to give a good idea of the selection of fish available
(i.e., not all of these fish are available all the time). A sample list from
three Philippine sources is shown below. Please excuse any typographical errors,
it's sometimes difficult to catch them, as the lists arrive to us from
points of origin. Also, our apologies for the all lower case, the list is
originally all upper case and probably easier to read this way.
Of course, correct binomials always have first letter of genus capitalized,
and species name always all lower case to be scientifically accurate.
