Our Story


Dinkins Aquatic Gardens is a husband-and-wife business in the DFW area that focuses on producing premium live feeds for your aquarium. Over the years that we've been in business, Ashley and I have developed a philosophy that guides our entire business: we call it the Dinkins Difference

In short, we are dedicated to producing a top-quality product that will greatly benefit your tank, while providing concierge-level customer service. If you have a question, we'll answer you the same day. If there's a problem, we'll make it right without making you jump through hoops. 

Ashley even personally hand-writes a thank you card to every single customer, for every single order. We truly appreciate you all, and we want to let you know how much you mean to us!

Our Products

Live Phytoplankton Blend: A rich blend of six phytoplankton species intended to enhance coral growth and coloration, as well as microfauna diversity.

Reef Snacklebox: Our Reef Snacklebox is a mix of three species of live copepods - Tisbe, Apocyclops, and Tigriopus. These copepods are great members of your clean-up crew, and provide nutritious snacks to your fish and corals.

Single-species Copepods: Copepods are available in single-species bottles (choose from Tigriopus, Apocyclops, and Tisbe).

Amphipods - Larger than copepods, they eat tremendous amounts of detritus and nuisance algae while providing a nutritious snack to your larger fish.
