A colorful and unique freshwater puffer found throughout Southeast Asia, the Dragon or Humpback Puffer (Pao palembangensis) is an ambush predator, spending much of its time laying in wait on the substrate for unsuspecting prey to pass in front of them. In the aquarium, they are a relatively hardy puffer but they are likely to attack most tankmates eventually. This species can usually be successfully kept in groups provided they have plenty of tank space and hides or caves.

An unusual and mostly temperate species of large growing Cyprinid, the Chinese High Fin Banded Shark or Loach originates from parts of the Yangtze drainage in China but is now aquacultured within that country on a fairly large scale. An algae grazer and herbivore, these fish inhabit clear, well-oxygenated waters, often in loose schools. Due to their huge adult size, this fish is best suited for temperate outdoor ponds (either outdoor or indoor), and is often kept with koi or goldfish as an impressive display fish in their own right and useful nuisance algae grazers.

A beautifully marked member of the spiny eel family (Mastacembelidae), the Fire Eel is found in river systems throughout much of Southeast Asia including the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. In the wild it tends to be found in shallow, relatively slow moving waters including small rivers, swamps, and seasonally flooded forest. In the aquarium, Fire Eels are 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 other fish.

One of the true freshwater species of archerfish, the Burmese Clouded Archer (Toxotes blythii) is by far the most beautiful species in its genus. Found on the lower reaches of the Salween River in Southern Myanmar (Burma) along the Thai border, these fish inhabit shallow, clear waters far from the coast. As with all archerfish, this species has the remarkable ability to shoot bursts of water at insects above the water’s surface – which make up the majority of their diet. Care in the aquarium is relatively straightforward, but it is important to remember that like most archerfish they can be hesitant to feed at first, especially if kept with aggressive feeders like cichlids. Most can easily be trained onto prepared foods by offering live feeder insects and floating pellets at the same time, and clouded archers will generally wean onto frozen and prepared diets quickly. We offer specimens well acclimated to aquarium life and feeding on a variety of different prepared (non-live) items.

The humphead glassfish has been a sought after oddball since its first introduction to the aquarium trade over a decade ago, and originates from the Salween River on the Thailand Myanmar. Although most glassfish in the hobby are often considered brackish water fish, P. pulcinella is one of many species found exclusively in freshwater habitat. A relatively undemanding aquarium fish, humphead glassfish can be kept in small groups and are often quite skittish as single specimens. They seem to prefer relatively dim lighting and highly oxygenated water with a moderate current. The species is sexually dimorphic, with males exhibiting a larger, more prominent hump and females growing larger and having an overall bulkier appearance.

The Giant Mudskipper (Periophthalmodon schlosseri) is a fascinating member of the family Gobiidae which like all mudskippers are specially adapted for life outside of the water. This species which is the largest of the mudskippers is 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).

The Indonesian Leaf Fish (Pristolepis grootii) is a cryptic and rarely seen member of the Nandid family native to the soft water streams and rivers of Indonesia. Their body shape, coloration, and behavior allow them to mimic dead leaves and get close to unsuspecting prey items like small fish. In the aquarium, they are generally peaceful with tankmates too large to be eaten but due to their shy nature should not be kept with overly fast-moving or aggressive species.

The Samurai Puffer (Dichotomyctere erythrotaenia) is a colorful brackish water species found in the streams and mangrove systems of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. They are notable for their horizontal bright orange stripe. Fairly hardy, active, and outgoing, this medium-growing pufferfish species will do well with similarly sized fast moving tankmates like Scats, Monos, or Chromides. Like most pufferfish, they can be prone to nip at tankmates so they should be monitored carefully, especially when first introduced.

The Ocellated Puffer (Leiodon cutcutia) is a freshwater species found throughout much of Southeast Asia, where it typically inhabits rivers, lakes and sometimes estuaries. In the wild, their habitat is mostly dictated by flooding where they will forage for prey items along the edges of the floodplain. This medium-growing pufferfish species will do well with lots of cover from plant or hard structure with a soft sand substrate. Like most pufferfish, they can be prone to nip at tankmates so they should be monitored carefully, especially when first introduced.

A large, spectacularly colored goby found throughout southeast Australia, the Southern Purple Spotted Gudgeon (Mogurnda adspersa) was once thought to be extinct. Thanks to successful captive breeding this fish is now available to aquarists. In the aquarium, they are hardy and undemanding, and will live in groups as long as ample space and cover is provided for each fish to stake out a territory. Generally peaceful towards fish too small to be eaten, but robust enough to hold their own against semiaggressive tankmates, this species makes an impressive addition to a medium to large community aquarium.

A unique ambush predator found in the Middle Mekong drainage in Thailand, Laos, and possibly Cambodia, the Hairy Puffer gets its name from the ring of small fleshy tassels that surrounds its head. In the wild, they tend to inhabit extremely fast-moving waters, including powerful rapids, but spend most of their time partially buried in substrate where they wait for prey to swim above them. In the aquarium, they are best kept in a species tank as they are likely to attack most tankmates. This species has been successfully kept in pairs and bred in an aquarium setting.

An attractive and uncommonly imported freshwater puffer the Thai Puffer is typically found in shallow water habitat with significant plant coverage. Like most puffers, they use their sharp, powerful beaks to hunt and eat insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they are a relatively hardy species but as with most puffer species any other tankmates can be risky. In the wild, they feed on snails, clams, and other crustaceans and will require regular feedings with hard-shelled prey items in the aquarium to keep their teeth from overgrowing.

The Golden Mahseer (Tor putitora) is one of the large cyprinids from Asia collectively known as ‘Mahseer’ – most of which are prized food fish in their native habitats. Their large, iridescent scales and peaceful behavior in the aquarium have led some to compare them to tropical versions of koi. Although hardy and adaptable, they will do best in clean, well-oxygenated water with moderate current. They should only be kept in the largest aquariums or ponds.

One of a number of so-called freshwater “sharks” in the Cyprinid family (no actual relation to marine sharks), the black and red Red Tail Shark has been popular in the aquarium hobby for decades. Originating in well-oxygenated shallow streams in the Chao Phraya basin in Southeast Asia, this fish is a medium growing hardy omnivore and grazer that makes a colorful addition to a medium or large community aquarium. Although smaller fish do well in groups, they tend to become more solitary as they grow and can become territorial towards one another or other similar looking fish as adults. Ideal tankmates include medium peaceful cichlids, barbs, or larger rainbowfish. Albino Red Tail Shark specimens are very rare in the aquarium hobby.
