Pisces Enterprises Pisces Enterprises is Australia’s and the world’s largest combined producer and wholesaler of Aquarium Plants, Live Food, Frozen Feeders and other quality products. Founded in 1970, Pisces Enterprises quickly became the market leader in the specialty area of live aquarium plants due to large investment in both human technical knowhow and in state of the art greenhouses, aquatic plant growing facilities, a tissue culture laboratory and an inhouse quarantine room, all climate controlled and staffed by leading experts. In the late 1980’s a need was identified for a reliable supplier and producer of live insects for the Zoos and wildlife sanctuaries. Research and development over the last three decades has resulted in our extensive facilities that provide year round supply of live food and frozen feeders. As the pioneers of the live aquarium plant and live food industries in Australia we are proud to be recognized as the best in the business. Every week we supply over 1,000 retail shops and zoos with our products. In 2008 Pisces Enterprises established a sister company, Pisces Natural Products (PNP). PNP
1
was tasked with the vision of becoming a world leader in the supply of unique natural décor from all corners of the world, offering never before seen woods, rocks and exclusive substrates. Pisces Natural Products has followed in the footsteps of its older sister, Pisces Enterprises and has grown to become the leading supplier of those products in Australia within a few short years. In 2010 Pisces Enterprises expanded further and founded Pisces Aquatics. Our vision to breed and grow tropical fish in Australia has now become a reality, with over 150 species of locally grown fish available all year round. Pisces Enterprises is more than a company. It is a family. From humble beginnings as a husband and wife family enterprise, Pisces Enterprises now employs over 100 full time staff and continues to be fully owned and operated by the Frazer family some 43 years after the first plant was grown and sold.
Aquarium Plants Bunch Plants Piece Lines Pisces Enterprises is proud to offer the largest range of aquarium plants in Australia.

Pisces Enterprises is proud to present the world’s first aquarium bunch plant label. Our label has been awarded a Patent licence due to its ground breaking innovation and design. • An elastic band is “built” into the label itself and replaces the lead wire strand that has been used for decades. • Every bunch is named and barcoded. • Once the customer is ready to plant the bunch at home they can simply tear the perforated line and remove the barcode! The elastic tie remains in place and is planted within the substrate. • The tie portion of the label is also named for easy identification once the barcode portion has been removed. • Helps make stock control easy. • New or untrained staff can identify any bunch plant with ease. • Barcodes make the checkout process fast and accurate. Pisces Enterprises is the only company in the world to use this advanced technology which will benefit both you in the store and your customers. 13

Live Food Mealworms Crickets Woodies Earthworms Silk Worms Fly Pupae As people become more aware of their environment and the creatures that inhabit it, they also seek better ways of keeping things natural. From the pet water dragon or blue-tongue lizard in the garden to the visiting kookaburra and butcher birds – all will benefit from the increasing awareness of the practice of feeding live insects. This is the food that forms a natural part of their diet. Pisces Enterprises Pty Ltd is the Australian leader in the breeding and cultivation of insects. We supply the professionals who keep animals in zoos and private collections and the dedicated home pet-owners and nature lovers. Our large and diversified production facility in Brisbane continues to deliver the range and quality of insects that animal carers have now come to expect.

Hi-Tech Crickets™ Pisces Enterprises Hi-Tech Crickets™ are a result of over two years of research and development, including insect behaviour, tooling development for the injection moulding machines, and a replacement for the vermiculite grains. It is without doubt the world’s best live food container. Easy Open Lid. The simple to use, flip top lid allows fuss free dispensing of crickets. It is also easier to add carrots to ensure long and healthy cricket life. House. 100% recycled food grade pulp paper insert acts as a hiding space for the insects. Bedding. A Patented 100% absorbent food safe and sterile natural wood pulp pad replaces the messy and dusty vermiculite. The pad can absorb up to ten times its volume in moisture and insect droppings. Ventilation. The side and top vents give an increased air circulation by more than 10 times. As moisture and warm air is vented through the lid, fresh air is drawn through the side vents of the container. This system creates a healither environment for the insects. The modern and eye-catching presentation is not only a marketing revolution but also serves a scientific purpose. The white lid has been shown to react favourably to how Crickets see the world. The Crickets compound eye has ability to see ultraviolet light and finds the white colour pleasing and calming. The effect is less stressed crickets with more movement inside the tub for your customers to see with less crickets hiding under the carton insert. These improvements have allowed us to increase the Cricket volume by 20% in each container.

Woodies Pisces Wood Roaches make an ideal clean insect food for lizards, fish, frogs and birds. Pisces Woodies are very clean insects and are not known to carry disease organisms. Woodies naturally live in dry conditions under dead wood or tree bark and grow to approximately the same size as a large cricket. Unlike house cockroaches, wood roaches bear live young live and it is quite likely some will be born in the container.
Woodies Small
Woodies Medium
How to Feed Woodies can be slowed down prior to feeding by placing in a refrigerator for five minutes. Feed only enough woodies that will be eaten immediately. Vitamin & mineral supplements (gutload) can be sprinkled onto the woodies prior to feeding. Storage & Care Woodies will remain alive in the container for quite a long time and will obtain sufficient food and moisture from the piece of carrot supplied in the container. To keep them fresh & to get longer life replace the piece of carrot every few days. Feeding Lizards Woodies are a natural and highly nutritious food for many species of lizards. They can often be used to entice fussy eaters that have gone on hunger strike.
Woodies Large
Feeding Fish Large cichlids and other large species love woodies. They can be fed by hand, with tweezers or just tipped onto the waters surface. Woodies provide a high protein food with beneficial roughage which is often missing in dry foods. Feeding Frogs Woodies are a nutritious and natural diet for large green tree frogs. Feeding Birds Many insectivorous birds will happily accept woodies as an interesting variation to their diet.
