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.

The Pinstripe Apisto (Apistogramma sp. nadelstreifen) is found near Leticia, Colombia where it is often collected alongside Apistogramma bitaeniata.

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.

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.

A stunning and unique relative of the eartheaters, the Threadfin Acara or Heckelii Cichlid is widespread throughout the Amazon and its tributaries in South America, where it inhabits shallow, sandy stretches of warm, acidic, slow-moving water. They are named for the remarkable filament-like fin extensions that adult fish develop off the dorsal fin. Like their relatives in the genus Geophagus, they will ingest mouthfuls of fine sand substrate and sift out small food items like insect larvae and crustaceans but also readily feed from the surface and water column. In the aquarium, they tend to do best in groups and will coexist with a variety of similarly peaceful cichlids or other fish species, but can be more aggressive and pushy than other eartheaters. These fish will do best in soft, warm water (pH 7.0 or below, temperatures of 80 ) but are adaptable and have been bred commercially for the aquarium trade in Asia and the US.

A distinctive regional variant of freshwater Angelfish, the Santa Isabel Redback Angel is also called by the trade name “Santa Isabel Altum” although it is not the true Altum Angel (P. altum) from the Orinoco basin of Colombia and Venezuela. This Angel is named for its collection locality, the upper Rio Negro around the small town of Santa Isabel, Brazil. One of the characteristics that distinguishes this naturally occurring form of angel is its vivid reddish or pink extending from the head to the dorsal fin. In the wild theSanta Isabel Angel is found in warm, acidic, heavily tannin-stained waters close to fallen branches or submerged driftwood piles. In the aquarium, they will do best when kept under similar conditions, ideally in a group of at least 5 fish and with plenty of cover. Like all freshwater angelfish, they are peaceful for a cichlid and will coexist with a wide range of tankmates provided they are not overly aggressive or small enough to become a meal.

One of the smaller species of South American eartheater, the Choco Red Hump Eartheater is similar to the more commonly seen G. steindachneri from the Magdalena basin but may represent either a regional variant or distinct undescribed species. This variant displays striking yellows, with mature males showing vivid iridescent blue and red as well. A hardy and adaptable species, they tend to take prepared foods better than some of their more delicate relatives but like all Geophagus prefer a fine sand substrate to sift through. A social fish when young, they can become aggressive and territorial when they are large enough to form pairs and spawn.
