At From The River, we specialize in uncommon and rare Indonesian aquatics, from the wild betta complex to Sulawesi shrimp and freshwater crabs.
Through direct partnerships with local collectors, village contacts, and trusted wholesalers, we source rare and unseen localities with an emphasis on sustainability. By working closely at the point of origin, we help reduce over-collection and promote low-impact harvesting practices. Our priority is the well-being of both species and ecosystems, supported by careful handling and efficient, stress-minimizing transport.
This site serves as a catalog of the species we have worked with and our personal experiences with them. Our goal is to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation for declining habitats, and we hope that by offering resources on our experiences, we can help hobbyists provide better care to their animals. This, in turn, supports thriving ecosystems and facilitates long-term breeding success within the hobby for years to come.
Please feel free to contact us for any questions or inquiries!
