KENYA · GUIDE 0852 · EDITION 4.2
Ornamental fish retail in Kenya
Lawfully sourced ornamental fish with accurate species information
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional retail transaction: reserve one professionally assessed group of six small freshwater ornamental fish from one traceable supplier for a customer whose established aquarium has already been reviewed for the species. The group count is a sales example, not a stocking recommendation. Quote the species, number and transport separately. Exclude wild-caught or restricted species without verified lawful sourcing, disease treatment, goldfish-in-a-bowl promotions and claims that fish can adapt to any tank.
