Mike Drawdy, from Lakeland FL, was lucky enough to be born into the tropical fish business. After serving four years in the United States Marine Corp, he decided to go into the family-owned business; a fish farm in Lakeland that was started by his father in 1970. On their farm they breed all types of livebearears, tetras, barbs, and cichlids. The fish that they breed all go to wholesalers across the United States and Canada. Mike is always looking for new and exciting fish to breed, with a real passion for L-plecos.
