Starting from a personal hobby, our founder Mr. Wei Ciang decided to breed many kinds of freshwater fish to supply the local exporter. Eventually the business did not run as smoothly as planned, he failed 2 times in breeding. Bitter enough for him to learn.
Never giving up, Mr. Wei Ciang restarted the whole thing by breeding Corydoras catfish. With only Rp.50.000, - (around U$4 now) he managed to buy 50 pieces of Corydoras Aeneus albino and 2 aquarium tanks to start breeding and supplying local exporters. The original 50 pieces of Corydoras developed into 58,000 pieces production or Corydoras per month after 1 year.
Taking a great cushion of profit from selling Leopard Axolotl, the company was named Leopard Aquatic with the hope that the name will bring great luck in the future.
With enough funding, Mr. Wei Ciang expanded the business and became the first person who produced Frozen Blood Worms. Initiating all things, he harvested and collected the blood worm by himself. Later on, he successfully guided many blood worm farmers in the area. At the end of 1989 Leopard Aquatic managed to export the tropical fish and Frozen bloodworm for the first time.
With the hope to expand more in export, Leopard Aquatic bought new farm facilities in Jalan Pabrik Aci which will become Leopard Aquatic's Headquarter in the future.
Fascinated by the sales boom of Frozen Blood Worms in Japan, Japanese magazine A-Wave came and wrote a full article about Mr. Wei Ciang and the production of frozen blood worms. Our founder innovated the way to store bloodworms at hobbyist houses by making it as frozen chocolate blocks.
