Hello, I'm Miles 👋

I'm a Jersey City-based software developer who's been keeping aquariums for more than 10 years. I built Light Fish so hobbyists could buy and sell fish, shrimp, snails, plants and supplies directly with each other, safely.

How Light Fish works

• Sellers are independent hobbyists and small breeders.
• Every new listing is reviewed before it goes live.
• You pay through Stripe, and sellers are paid only after your order is delivered.
• Live animals and plants are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

What I'm aiming for

• Ethical, transparent buying and selling in the aquarium hobby.
• Supporting and growing hobbyist sellers and small businesses.
• Encouraging sustainable, responsible fishkeeping.

Light Fish is independent, with no investors or parent company. I build and fund it myself while working full-time, and I work closely with the sellers who share that vision.

I'd love to hear what you think of Light Fish. Email me at miles@light.fish, or support@light.fish for help with an order.
