SFH - Space Fish Hobbyist / SFH

Ichthyology, the study of fishes, goes way back into early human history. Fish on planet Earth were once a very important source of food for the ancients, and knowledge of what could be eaten, where they could be found, etc., was vital. Over time, humans came to appreciate some fish for their ornamental value over their culinary one. Thus was birthed an offshoot of this study, the hobby of tropical and saltwater fish collecting.

When we finally reached for the stars, imagine the astonishment of the first ichthyologists to discover water dwelling creatures on new planets with a resemblance to the fishes of Earth! Almost as soon as interstellar trade was established, curators and scientists began seeking out new aquatic life forms to study, catalog, and collect. Today of course it is a common sight to see an aquarium set up in a well traveled citizen’s hanger, as a memento of his or her travels, as a conversation piece on the more exotic catches, as a source of status and pride to own hard to find or beautiful fish from the far corners of space.

If you wish to talk about your hard won collection, investigate other citizens’ “living trophies”, buy, sell, or trade fish, SFH is a home for you.
