About Us

Tropical Wonders was founded by Ian Jordan, a lifelong aquatics enthusiast with more than 25 years of experience in the fishkeeping industry. Ian first established his reputation through Oddball Express, a company well-known for importing and supplying high-quality Central American cichlids to hobbyists and retailers. While Oddball Express eventually closed its doors, the passion, knowledge, and commitment to the aquatic community never faded.

With Tropical Wonders, Ian brings that same dedication into a new chapter — creating unique, high-quality aquatic merchandise designed for fishkeepers who want to celebrate their passion both inside and outside of the aquarium. Combining decades of expertise in the care, behavior, and beauty of cichlids with a fresh approach to design, Tropical Wonders is more than a store; it’s a brand built by fish enthusiasts, for fish enthusiasts.

At Tropical Wonders, our mission is simple: to share our love for aquatics through exceptional products, expert knowledge, and a commitment to the fishkeeping community.
