Joseph Stebel, founder and operator of Pacific Island Imports, has been in the tropical fish industry for over 60 years. Starting at the age of 13 in a downtown Los Angeles Hatchery, he has expert knowledge in sourcing the highest quality live tropical marine and freshwater fish. The Pacific Island Imports motto is: “if you ask for it we can get it for you.” They make this claim because of solid, long standing relationships with collectors overseas.
Brett Stebel, Joe’s oldest son, has extensive industry knowledge and oversees the Tridacna clams stock, housed in their Los Angeles green house. These clams are housed under the greatest lighting system in the world, the sun, quarantined, rested, fed, and then shipped to you.
Corals
Cultured corals from Bali are second to none with the most vibrant colors you can imagine. Our supplier currently has over 250,000 cultured corals in several locations around Bali. We also offer cultured corals from Jakarta, Java, Surabaya and Sulawesi. Fiji corals are another great product. Our supplier in Fiji packs in artificial seawater, and is perhaps the best shipper of fish and corals out of Fiji. We currently offer fish from several sources in Bali, Jakarta, Philippines, Irian Jaya, Fiji, Vanuatu, Kenya, Tahiti, Australia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. We also offer freshwater trans ship with sources in Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Singapore and Indonesia. Many of the South American fish are now being bred in Asia and are available in large quantities. We also offer beautiful Koi, goldfish and freshwater plants as well. We are wholesale only, sorry but no retail customers. If you are interested in buying from us please click below to contact.
