  • Top Hat Blenny (Omobranchus fasciolatoceps)

    Top Hat Blenny (Omobranchus fasciolatoceps)

    $74.99

    Originating from the coastal waters of Taiwan and Southern China, the Tophat Blenny is one of a very few species of Blenny that inhabits both fresh and brackish waters in the wild. A medium sized, curious fish with a unique namesake crest and a striped facial pattern, this fish inhabits a wide variety of estuarine and mangrove swamp habitat but are more often found in fresh or slightly brackish water than full marine conditions. In the aquarium, they adapt to a variety of conditions but will do best in at least low to moderate strength brackish water (5 – 15ppt salinity). They are peaceful towards most similar-sized tankmates but tend to spar with each other over territory, so be sure to provide plenty of cover and hiding places. This species is sexually dimorphic, with males typically exhibiting a larger crest and females generally being smaller and more colorful.

  • Red Eye Red Tailed Puffer (Carinotetraodon irrubesco)

    Red Eye Red Tailed Puffer (Carinotetraodon irrubesco)

    Price range: $24.99 through $29.99

    An uncommonly seen dwarf puffer species known from Borneo and Sulawesi, the Red Eye Red Tailed Puffer is a true freshwater puffer that in habits warm acidic waters. In the wild, they are often found in loose aggregations but are not necessarily as social as some other freshwater puffer species. Aquarium care should replicate their wild habitat as closely as possible, with soft water, little water movement, and plenty of cover in the form of driftwood, aquatic/floating plants, or rockwork. The addition of tannins from botanicals like Indian Almond Leaves are helpful to make this species feel at home in the aquarium. Like all freshwater puffers their specialized teeth form a beak that needs to be worn down by hard-shelled food items like freshwater snails or hard-shelled shrimp should be offered regularly in addition to other protein rich live or frozen foods. A relatively peaceful species, the Red Eye Red Tailed Puffer can be kept in groups provided plenty of space is provided, and the species is sexually dimorphic, with males displaying distinctive horizontal stripes along the body, and a more reticulated/spotted pattern shown in females.

  • West African Lungfish (Protopterus annectens)

    West African Lungfish (Protopterus annectens)

    Price range: $59.99 through $74.99

    A large-growing and unusual fish found throughout much of West and Central Africa, the West African Lungfish is a member of the familiy Lepidosirenidae, an ancient lineage of fish that extends back almost 100 million years. In the wild, these fish inhabit all kinds of aquatic habitat, from shallow swamps to rivers but generally prefer calm, slow-moving waters alongside aquatic or emergent vegetation. Named for their unique, lung-like organ that allows them to breathe atmospheric air, lungfish are able to survive in water with essentially no dissolved oxygen and even long periods of drought. Juvenile lungfish feed largely on insect larvae, while adults are omnivorous, feeding on crustaceans, snails, freshwater clams, and generally anything else they can fit in their large, powerful jaws. In the aquarium, they are a hardy and adaptable species but should ideally be kept alone or with very fast-moving tankmates as they are likely to take bites out of other fish.
