This parasitic Henonemus species was collected in the Rio Maranon and surrounding area of Peru. They use their strong sense of smell to seek out larger fish and feed on their scales and mucus. They are known to remove large chunks from other fish and should be housed with this in mind. Fish in this genus are also know to feed on gill filaments. In the aquarium, they do best in a large tank with plenty of open swimming space and moderate to strong current. They will accept bloodworms in captivity.

A fast-moving predatory characin, the Freshwater Barracuda (Acestrorhynchus falcirostris) is commonly found in small groups in open water in the wild, where they hunt for shoals of smaller fish like tetras. In the aquarium, they can be skittish fish, especially at first, and will do best with some cover in the form of floating plants or driftwood close to the surface. They are best kept in groups of 3 or more, and will school with other larger characins. Primarily a live fish eater, they will usually require live food but can be weaned onto frozen or prepared diets over time.

The Blue Mudskipper (Periophthalmodon septemradiatus) is a fascinating member of the family Gobiidae which like all mudskippers are specially adapted for life outside of the water. Found throughout the coastal Indo-Pacific, this species inhabits tidal mud flats, often in large groups with a defined social hierarchy. In the wild, they are adept predators that use their modified pectoral fins to hop across land and climb trees to catch insects and small crustaceans but in the aquarium will accept most frozen and freeze dried foods. An ideal aquarium setup for this species would include relatively shallow water with plenty of driftwood or other structure emerging above the waters surface giving them space to climb and form territories. Being a primarily coastal species, they will do best in moderate to strong brackish water (salinity of 10-20ppt) and should be kept in groups.

The Platinum Endlicheri Bichir is a spectacular color morph of the popular Polypterus endlicheri recently introduced to the hobby through line breeding. The Platinum morph is distinguished by its uniform brilliant white coloration and black pupils. In the wild, the Endlicheri Bichir is a widespread species, found in various slow-moving shallow water habitats in West and Central Africa. Polypterus endlicheri is one of several so-called “lower jaw” group of Polypterus, so named for their distinctive heavy lower jaw that protrude over the upper lip. In the aquarium, they are hardy and undemanding like most bichir species, but should be kept with a tight-fitting and possibly weighted lid as they will attempt to jump if spooked or at night.

The Four Eyed Fish or Anableps is an extremely unusual brackish water fish found along the coastline of Northeastern South America. Their name comes from the fact that these fish have specially adapted eyes with a membrane that effectively splits each eye into two parts, allowing them to simultaneously see above and below the waters surface. Due to this unique feature, Four Eyed fish are typically found floating at the surface, seeking out insects and other food items which might fall toward the water. Like many brackish water fish they regularly move between pure fresh and pure marine waters but will do best in moderate-strength brackish water (15 to 20 ppt) in the aquarium. A social species, they are usually found in groups in the wild and will do well when kept together in the aquarium. This specialized fish was once a somewhat common import but has been absent in the hobby for years; only recently has this species become available again in the trade by way of Brazil.

An uncommonly imported and intricately patterned freshwater spiny eel, the Unicolor Eel is believed to inhabit Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, but their distribution and habitat in the wild remains unclear. Like their close relative the Fire Eel, this species is often shy at first but are intelligent and personable fish which will soon learn to beg for food and recognize their owners. Largely insectivorous in the wild, they will readily feed on live earthworms at first and can be weaned on to frozen foods over time. Although they can and sometimes will eat smaller fish, they are not particularly active hunters and most fast moving tankmates will not be at risk of becoming a meal. Hardy and adaptable, they make an excellent addition to an aquarium large enough to house what will be a substantially large fish as an adult and will get along well with most tankmates.

Although they are not a large fish, they are adept predators, hunting invertebrates and smaller fishes among leaf litter and aquatic vegetation. In the aquarium, they are hardy and adaptable, and will thrive in small groups or with other similarly sized peaceful tankmates. This species will prey on smaller fish and invertebrate tankmates if given the opportunity but will also readily accept frozen and prepared foods.

Although they are typically found in brackish waters, they are highly adaptable and will do fine in full freshwater long term as well (slightly hard water is best). The Orange Chromide is fairly peaceful for a cichlid and will usually get along with most similarly sized tankmates.

The Indo Datnoid or Indo Tigerfish (IT) is found throughout Peninsular Malaysia and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Borneo, and likely parts of East Java as well. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of habitat types but are typically found in warm, slow moving stretches of rivers or lakes in areas close to overhanging vegetation. An ambush predator, they tend to hang motionless in the water awaiting smaller fish or invertebrates to swim by, using quick reflexes and a huge protrusible jaw to literally inhale prey items. In the aquarium, they require well-oxygenated water and are sensitive to water quality, so regular water changes are important to keep them thriving. Tankmates should be chosen carefully as they can eat surprisingly large fish and other more aggressive or very active fish will likely stress them out and potentially cause their distinct pattern of bars to fade.

A unique eel-like fish found in shallow, slow moving waters throughout West Africa, the African Ropefish or Reedfish is a close relative of Bichirs in the genus Polypterus. A popular if unusual fish in the hobby, the ropefish is an active and interesting aquarium resident that will do best in a medium to large aquarium with plenty of cover. In the wild, they feed on insects, crustaceans, and smaller fish but will generally accept frozen food in the aquarium and any tankmates large enough not to be eaten will be left alone. Ropefish are talented escape artists that can slip out of even a tiny opening, so their aquarium should be kept tightly covered at all times.

The Indo Datnoid or Indo Tigerfish (IT) is found throughout Peninsular Malaysia and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Borneo, and likely parts of East Java as well. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of habitat types but are typically found in warm, slow moving stretches of rivers or lakes in areas close to overhanging vegetation. An ambush predator, they tend to hang motionless in the water awaiting smaller fish or invertebrates to swim by, using quick reflexes and a huge protrusible jaw to literally inhale prey items. Specimens from Sumatra are especially colorful and well-marked, with the 4 bar variant found in the region among the more sought after varieties of Indo Datnoid in the trade. In the aquarium, they require well-oxygenated water and are sensitive to water quality, so regular water changes are important to keep them thriving. Tankmates should be chosen carefully as they can eat surprisingly large fish and other more aggressive or very active fish will likely stress them out and potentially cause their distinct pattern of bars to fade.
