The Rainbow Humphead Eartheater (Gymnogeophagus lipokarenos) is a stunning, peaceful Cichlid found throughout cooler rivers of Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Like all eartheaters, they are adapted to ingest mouthfuls of fine sand substrate and sift out small food items like insect larvae and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they tend to do best in groups and will coexist with a variety of similarly peaceful cichlids or other fish species, and they are generally safe even with much smaller fish. These will do best in soft, cool water (pH 7.0 or below, temperatures of 65-75F).

A brightly colored line bred variant of the popular Ram or Butterfly Dwarf Cichlid, the Golden Balloon Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) is a small, peaceful cichlid ideal for most community aquariums. With their vibrant coloration and elongated flowing fins they make an impressive display fish in a planted or aquascaped aquarium and will get along well with most tankmates. In the aquarium, they can be sensitive to fluctuating water quality and will do best in slightly soft water with frequent partial water changes. Like most cichlids they may fight among themselves for territory so a medium sized aquarium with plenty of cover and shelter is best to keep a group.

Like all eartheaters, this species requires fine sand substrate so they can exhibit their characteristic sand-sifting behavior as they search for food.

An attractive, relatively peaceful medium-growing cichlid, the Manapiare Festivum Cichlid (Mesonauta sp. ‘Manapiare’) or Flag Cichlid is one of several similar looking species found throughout the Orinoco drainage in Colombia and Venezuela. Like most of its relatives in the genus Mesonauta, they tend to be found close to the water’s surface in slower-moving areas with lots of overhanging vegetation and often live alongside Angels. In the wild, a large amount of their diet is made up of fruit and nuts that fall into the water from overhanging trees but will accept almost any prepared or frozen foods in the aquarium.

The Pinstripe Apisto (Apistogramma sp. nadelstreifen) is found near Leticia, Colombia where it is often collected alongside Apistogramma bitaeniata. Like most Apistos, it is found in small forest pools and shallow reaches of flooded forest in warm, acidic water. A hardy and relatively peaceful species, they are ideal for smaller aquariums and do best with ample cover in the form of plants, driftwood, and small caves.
Note on wild-collected Apistogramma sp.:
While we will make our best efforts to select male/female pairs for customer orders, sexing small- and medium-sized wild Apistogramma is not always exact and we do not guarantee a particular sex ratio. We recommend buying these fish in larger groups if a particular ratio of males to females is desired.

An aquarium hobby classic, the common Angel (Pterophyllum scalare) has been selectively bred into many different color forms and variants over the years. The Blue Zebra Angelfish is a highly sought after newer color and pattern variant. As a vertically-oriented species, they do best in a large, tall, planted aquarium with plenty of cover. Although peaceful when young, they can be moderately aggressive towards one another as adults but generally do well in a large enough group, usually 5 or more. Most other non-cichlid tankmates will be left alone but they will hunt and eat very small fish or invertebrates. Angels are somewhat sensitive to water quality so care should be taken to avoid large fluctuations in water conditions and partial water changes should be performed regularly.

Long considered the most beautiful of all freshwater aquarium fish, the discus remains a popular fish for serious hobbyists. Discus originate from the warm, acidic waters of Amazon tributaries in Brazil and Peru and are typically found in large groups. The many wild forms of discus have been selectively bred to create dozens of colorful strains. In the aquarium, regular large water changes, a protein-rich varied diet, and warm water temperatures (78-84) will create ideal conditions for these fish to thrive. Like all discus, they will do best in soft, slightly acidic water but will reward patient aquarists with spectacular coloration.
Shipping note: These are assorted fish. Requests can be made at checkout and stock will be pulled as close as possible, but a specific variant can not be guaranteed.

Originating from the alkaline waters of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, the Turkana Jewel Cichlid is one of the smaller and more docile members of its genus, making them much more suitable aquarium fish than the large growing and extremely aggressive species of their former genus, Hemichromis which are more commonly available in the hobby. With their vivid blood red coloration and and active, outgoing nature, this species makes an impressive centerpiece fish or addition to a mixed species cichlid community aquarium provided they are given ample space to maintain a territory. Although this species is peaceful for an African Cichlid, they are still territorial (especially when breeding) and tankmates should be chosen with care. The Turkana Jewel Cichlid is extremely hardy and will do well under a wide variety of conditions but they will display their best color in slightly hard, alkaline water.

A predatory fish by nature, their diet in the wild is largely composed of smaller fish and crustaceans. In the aquarium, Frontosas will display their best coloration and behavior when kept in similar conditions to where they would be found in the wild – kept in groups, fed a varied protein-rich diet, and in very alkaline water.
