    Harlequin Rasbora (Trigonostigma heteromorpha)

    Price range: $3.49 through $3.99

    A colorful and actively schooling Rasbora found throughout parts of Southeast Asia, the Harlequin or Heteromorpha Rasbora makes an ideal addition to a small to medium sized community aquarium or planted tank.

  • Blue Axelrodi Rasbora (Sundadanio axelrodi 'blue')

    Blue Axelrodi Rasbora (Sundadanio axelrodi ‘blue’)

    $5.49

    The Blue Axelrodi Rasbora or Blue Neon Rasbora (Sundadanio axelrodi ‘blue’) is a relatively recent addition to the hobby, coming from warm, acidic, peat swamps and shallow creeks throughout the island of Borneo. With their iridescent blue color and peaceful, active nature, they are extremely popular in the hobby and a favorite with planted tank hobbyists.

  • Peru Sailfin Tetra (Crenuchus spilurus)

    Peru Sailfin Tetra (Crenuchus spilurus)

    $7.49

    A beautiful tetra from the acidic blackwaters of the Rio Nanay in Peru, the Sailfin Tetra is a medium-sized species that makes for an impressive display fish as an adult. Both sexes have the namesake large dorsal fin, but mature males will have an extremely elongated, brightly colored fin. In the wild, they tend to be found in small groups in shallow waters, usually in areas with substantial cover in the form of leaf litter, fallen branches, or other vegetation. In the aquarium, they can be shy at first but will quickly become more bold if given plenty of cover. A great and showy fish for densely planted or hardscape tanks.

  • Neolamprologus multifasciatus

    Neolamprologus multifasciatus

    Price range: $10.99 through $14.99

    One of the most popular of the shell-dwelling species of small cichlids found in Africa’s Lake Tanganyika, the Multi Shell Dweller makes for a unique display fish due to their vivid pattern and bold, fascinating behavior. In the wild, these dwarf cichlids inhabit dense fields of empty snail shells at the bottom of the lake, where each fish will stake a territory in an individual shell and defend it from others. In the aquarium, they are hardy and adaptable but prefer alkaline water and should be provided with shells or similar structure for them to establish territories in.

It is found in shallow, slow moving water usually over a sand substrate and prefers warm, acidic water in the aquarium. A loosely schooling fish, it is found in groups in the wild and will do best in a group of 10 or more.

  • Albino Red Pacu (Piaractus brachypomum 'albino')

    Albino Red Pacu (Piaractus brachypomum ‘albino’)

    Price range: $22.99 through $199.99

    One of the larger fish in the Amazon Basin, and an important food fish throughout most of the its range, the Red Belly Pacu is a beautifully marked “gentle giant” suitable for only the largest private aquariums, indoor ponds, or public displays. In the wild, this fish is an opportunistic grazer, which feeds primarily on fallen fruit and nuts from trees overhanging the rivers edge habitat where they are usually found. They are a hardy species, tolerant of a wide range of water conditions – but given their huge size and equally large appetite they will require significant filtration and regular water changes. The Red Pacu will accept almost any frozen or prepared food in the aquarium but should be offered a varied diet heavy in vegetable matter. The Albino morph of this fish only recently entered the market from commercial farms where they are raised primarily as food fish.

  • Eques Pencilfish (Nannostomus eques)

    Eques Pencilfish (Nannostomus eques)

    $4.99

    The Eques or Diptail Pencilfish is a widely distributed loosely schooling fish found throughout much of the Amazon and Orinoco Basins. With their distinctive ‘head up’ posture (which helps them remain invisible to predators in the wild) and peaceful demeanor they have been a popular fish in the freshwater hobby for decades. Typically found in warm, extremely shallow waters alongside other tetra species, they prefer soft, acidic water conditions but are adaptable in the aquarium. Best kept in groups of 5 or more, they are relatively easy to care for but care should be taken to ensure larger or faster moving tankmates don’t outcompete them for food.

  • Gold Tetra (Hemigrammus rodwayi) - Group of 10 Fish

    Gold Tetra (Hemigrammus rodwayi)

    $2.99

    The Gold or Brass Tetra is widespread throughout South America, and is found in a  variety of habitat types in the wild, usually in large schools. In the aquarium, they are hardy and adaptable, making a great and vividly colored community fish. Their metallic gold pigmentation is actually caused by a harmless parasite that they are exposed to in the wild, which means that tank or pond raised specimens are usually dull in appearance and lack their namesake gold coloration. Like most small schooling tetras, Gold Tetras are best kept in groups of 10 or more, and will usually school with other similarly sized tetras. Our fish are wild collected, colorful, and carefully acclimated – a great addition to planted or nano aquariums.

  • Banded Darter Characin (Characidium cf. fasciatum)

    Banded Darter Characin (Characidium cf. fasciatum)

    Price range: $4.99 through $6.99

    One of many species of similar looking, tiny characins found throughout much of South America, the Banded Darter Characin (Characidium cf. fasciatum) makes a fascinating resident for nano or biotope themed aquariums. As their name suggests, these fish have a reduced swim bladder and spend most of their time perched on or just above the substrate, “darting” instead of actively swimming in most cases similar to a goby or blenny. In the wild they inhabit a variety of habitats but are usually found in areas with moderate to fast current and prefer well oxygenated water. A hardy and interesting fish, they are social and should be kept in groups.

  • Neon Green / Kubotai Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai)

    Neon Green / Kubotai Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai)

    $6.99

    A brilliantly colored and actively schooling “micro” rasbora found throughout parts of Indonesia, the Kubotai or Neon Green Rasbora makes an ideal addition to a small to medium sized community aquarium or planted tank. In the wild, they inhabit slow moving streams and creeks with sandy substrate and clear waters, usually among aquatic plants or fallen branches. A hardy and adaptable fish in the aquarium, they are popular with aquascapers due to their small adult size, active nature, and brilliant coloration. Like most schooling rasboras, they are best kept in groups of 10 or more and will thrive with most similarly-sized peaceful tankmates. Darker substrate, somewhat subdued lighting, and plenty of cover in the aquarium will help bring out their most vibrant green coloration.

  • Green Axelrodi Rasbora (Sundadanio axelrodi)

    Green Axelrodi Rasbora (Sundadanio axelrodi)

    $5.49

    An ideal fish for nano aquariums, the Green Axelrodi Rasbora is found in warm, acidic, shallow waters throughout the island of Borneo. With their iridescent green color and peaceful, active nature, they are extremely popular in the hobby and a favorite with planted tank hobbyists. In the aquarium, they will do best when kept in warm, slightly soft water and require excellent water quality to thrive. Like most rasboras, they will do best in a group of 10 or more fish.

  • Chili / Mosquito Rasbora (Boraras brigittae)

    Chili / Mosquito Rasbora (Boraras brigittae)

    $4.99

    An ideal fish for nano aquariums, the Chili, Mosquito, or Brigittae Rasbora is found in warm, acidic, shallow waters throughout the island of Borneo. With their vibrant red color and peaceful, active nature, they are extremely popular in the hobby and a favorite with planted tank hobbyists. Typically found in true blackwater swamps and creeks, this dwarf rasbora will do best and display optimal color and behavior when provided with an environment similar to their wild habitat, and will benefit from the addition of some tannins from Catappa Leaves or similar botanicals. Although records of the fish exist from Malaysia, Peninsular Thailand, and other parts of Southeast Asia it is likely these fish are close relatives such as Boraras merah and this species is often misidentified in the trade. In the aquarium, they are hardy and will generally thrive under a wide range of conditions but will exhibit their best color if kept in warm, slightly soft water and in groups of at least 10. With their small adult size, larger or fast moving tankmates should be avoided but they will thrive with most small peaceful fish and invertebrates.
