A beautifully marked hillstream loach found in fast-moving streams in Western Borneo, the Reticulated Borneo Sucker is typically found among rocks in well-oxygenated waters. In the aquarium, they are hardy fish as long as their wild habitat is replicated as closely as possible, with clean, well-aerated water and moderate to fast flow being essential to keep this species thriving long term. This species prefers slightly cooler water temperatures and soft, slightly acidic water. A grazer and opportunistic feeder, they should be given a varied diet high in algae or vegetable content. They should be kept in groups of at least 3 and will typically get along well with other hillstream loach species.

One of most widely distributed members of the genus Crenicichla, the Lugubris Pike is a large-growing, hardy and aggressive species of cichlid found in almost every major river system across the Amazon region. They are found in a wide variety of habitat types and are extremely adaptable aquarium fish provided their large adult size is taken into account. As a territorial fish by nature, they require a sufficiently large aquarium with plenty of cover. Tankmates should be large and fast-moving fish that will not be intimidated by a large, aggressive Pike Cichlid.

An unusual and larger growing relative of the more well-known Banjo Catfish, the Eel Tail Banjo Catfish is a unique, elongated species found throughout parts of the lower Amazon, coastal Brazil and the Guyana Shield. The Eel Tail Banjo Catfish inhabits shallow, warm stretches of slow-moving waters and areas of flooded forest in the wild. Their unique body shape and variable coloration acts as highly effective camouflage in the submerged leaf litter where they are typically found. This species has a unique reproductive strategy, with females using specialized pores on the underside of their tail to carry their eggs until hatching. In the aquarium, this species is relatively hardy and undemanding, although they can be slow to find food and may be outcompeted by fast-moving or aggressive feeding tankmates.

Apistogramma elizabethae or Elizabeth’s Apisto is one of the more attractively colored Dwarf Cichlids in the hobby, with mature males displaying vivid red and blue coloration and elaborate extended fins. 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. In the wild, they inhabit warm, acidic, tannin-stained waters and an aquarium that replicates these conditions as closely as possible will result in optimal coloration and natural behavior.
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.

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, including the Yellow Panda, which is known for its vivid, powder blue coloration with minimal patterning. 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.
