OATA The Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association

OATA, the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association, was set up in 1991 and throughout that time have represented the whole aquatic industry – from importers, manufacturers and wholesalers to retailers and pond and aquarium consultants.

OATA produce a good range of free care sheets for coldwater, tropical freshwater and marine fish as well as for invertebrates, aquatic reptiles and plants.

Killifish, or ‘killies’, are a diverse group of generally small, colourful fish. Their name is believed to be derived from the Dutch for ‘pool’ or ‘puddle’. Owing to the temporary nature of their habitat, some species have evolved interesting reproductive strategies to ensure the survival of the species.
