H-3 Aquatics Online

H-3 Aquatics is a small online aquatic pet store run by 3 homeschooled siblings, Charles, Henry and Anna Hunter, in South Dakota. We started our micro-business (H- Cubed Aquatics) as a 4-H project in the enterpenureship project area.  Currently, we offer Guppies, Bettas and Ramshorn Snails. Coming soon: Angelfish, Mollies, Platies, Rams, Neocardinia Shrimp, Peacock Cichlids, and Bristlenose Plecos. Please check out our Adoption Pages too, for some fish needing rehomed.

Why Choose Us?

Hi, I'm Henry Hunter. I am 16 years old, and my siblings and I have been raising and selling fish since February 2019.  We started with 1 ten gallon fish tank, as many people do, and a few guppies, platies and a couple of "cleaner" fish. What started as a casual hobby and a biology/chemistry lab quickly turned into a passion for my brother, sister and I. By June 2019, we were running a total of 7 aquariums, each with it's own breeding project inside. Now we are up to 26 tanks, some of which we moved to the fish room we are building in our parents basement. We are still growing, and have plans to add another tank rack soon, including a system for growing out young bettas that are aging out of their spawns and getting aggressive with their siblings. We learned a lot from other fish-keepers both local and from fish people online.  Our mother has kept fish on and off since 1984 as well and is a great sounding board for ideas and source of advice. 

We strive to keep our aquatic friends happy and healthy.  New arrivals are held for health observation for a minimum 3-4 weeks before being added to any of our project colonies or introduced to our breeding fish to pair off (depending on species.) Currently, we only have for sale, fish we have raised ourselves in our own aquariums. We do not sell any fish that may be from imported sources at this time, (although we may occasionally list for adoption a fish that we purchased for breeding that didn't work out for us.)

My older brother, Charles (18), has high-functioning autism. He adores plecos, angelfish and other cichlids. He would love to someday soon be able to make a living selling beautiful aquarium fish. My sister and I love guppies, bettas, cloud mountain minnows and other community tank fish.
