The Bio Difference
Direct from the breeder
Every animal is spawned and raised at Valley Fisheries. Nothing is bought for resale, so your fish are never exposed to outside livestock on the way to your door.
Genetically responsible
Broodstock are selected for pure strain and quarantined pathogen-free, with populations large enough to keep every line genetically sound.
Probiotic management
Two decades of natural, probiotic hatchery technique mean healthy immune systems and superior color — with minimal chemicals and medications.
From our customers
All survived and all are absolutely beautiful. Honestly, the most beautiful I have ever received — and I have been keeping rainbows for 10+ years.
