One of the most popular dwarf cichlids in the hobby, Apistgramma agassizi (also known as Agassiz’s Dwarf Cichlid) is an attractive and interesting addition to smaller community aquarium. They have been bred in the hobby for decades, resulting in a number of color morphs and strains. The ‘neon blue’ variety displays vivid blue iridescent markings on the face and throughout the body, with males generally being larger and more colorful. 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.
A note on Apistogramma: Unless otherwise specified, Apistogramma are sold as unsexed individuals. We will make our best efforts to send pairs or a requested ratio of male to female but we do not guarantee sex on these fish. We recommend buying in groups to ensure adequate males and females for breeding.

A small growing, attractively patterned species of Peckoltia from the Orinoco and Meta rivers, the L127 Mottled False Zebra Pleco or Scribbled Pleco is an ideal pleco for the small to medium community aquarium. Although normally shy at first, they will become more comfortable spending time out in the open over time and especially when food is added to the tank. Like most of their close relatives, the L127 is not a particularly good algae eater and prefers a more protein rich diet than some plecos. Peaceful toward nearly all tankmates, they can be territorial towards other plecos but will typically coexist without problems long as plenty of cover is provided in the aquarium.

A tiny, bottom dwelling species of characin found throughout the middle Amazon and its tributaries, the Black Pygmy Darter Characin 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 low to moderate current and prefer well oxygenated water. As a shy and relatively slow moving fish, tankmates should be chosen with caution as they can easily be outcompeted for food

The L081 “special” is naturally occurring color variation of the popular Gold Nugget Pleco distinguished by having many fine, brilliant yellow spots along the body along with a bright yellow seam or trim to the dorsal and caudal fins. Like its close relatives, it is found in rocky shallow areas in warm, well-oxygenated water. In the aquarium, it should be provided with plenty of cover and regular feedings of protein rich feeds such as Repashy gel diet or other prepared feeds. They will do best at high temperatures (82 – 86F), lots of water movement and a variety of rocks and caves in which to establish territories. This species can be a challenge to maintain long term and is best suited for experienced hobbyists who can ensure optimal water quality similar to what they would find in nature and a varied diet.

Long considered the most beautiful of all freshwater aquarium fish, the discus remains a popular fish for serious hobbyists. Regular, large water changes, a protein-rich varied diet, and warm water temperatures (82-86) will create ideal conditions for discus to thrive. Wild discus are more sensitive to water quality and are best kept by experienced hobbyists. They will do best in soft, slightly acidic water and may take weeks or even months to display their optimal colors in an aquarium but will reward patient aquarists with spectacular coloration and natural behaviors. Red wild discus are among the most colorful wild types in the hobby, and with a high quality diet and good water conditions can rival most tank bred strains. These specimens originate from the Rio Trombetas in Brazil and display a vivid base red/orange coloration a with distinctive red/blue pattern extending through the dorsal and ventral surfaces.

Long considered the most beautiful of all freshwater aquarium fish, the discus remains a popular fish for serious hobbyists. Regular, large water changes, a protein-rich varied diet, and warm water temperatures (80-86) will create ideal conditions for discus to thrive. Wild discus are more sensitive to water quality and are best kept by experienced hobbyists. They will do best in soft, slightly acidic water and may take weeks or even months to display their optimal colors in an aquarium but will reward patient aquarists with spectacular coloration and natural behaviors. Heckel discus are known as one of the most colorful of all wild discus forms. These specimens originate from the Rio Nhamundá in Brazil and are named for the vivid blue markings around the face as well as the typical heckel coloration of blue and contrasting red striations.

A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Scat occurs in three distinct color forms (green, silver, and red) which were once thought to be different species but are now all considered to be variants of the extremely widespread S. argus. Found along nearly every coastline of the Indo-Pacific region, scats are amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), scats will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. The green scat is a t common color variant of S. argus, and is typically found in estuaries and mangrove forests. Although juvenile scats can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.

An unusual Sleeper Goby that is found along nearly every coastline of the Indo-Pacific region, the Crazy Fish or Upside Down Sleeper Goby is amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Their name reflects their habit of swimming upside down or at an angle, normal behavior for this species. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), they will do best in light to moderate strength brackish water. Typically found in estuaries and mangrove forests, these fish are active and fast-moving predators that feed on small fish and invertebrates in the wild but are peaceful toward any tankmates too large to be eaten.

Found in the deep channels of fast-flowing reaches of the middle Amazon in Peru, the the L350 Imperial or Coal Pleco is a large and uncommon species of Peckoltia distinguished by its jet black coloration and long caudal streamers. Some deepwater specimens lack pigment entirely. Like their relatives, they are adapted for a diet consisting primarily of driftwood in the wild and should be offered plenty of driftwood in the aquarium. They will readily accept fresh veggies and specialty prepared diets like Repashy’s Morning Wood in the aquarium.

A medium growing species of Brochis, the Pantanal or C005 Cory originates in the clear water wetlands known as the Pantanal in Southern Brazil and Bolivia. Adult fish are one of the most attractive of all Corydoras, with adult males in breeding colors showing a remarkable iridescent spotted pattern. Like most Cory catfish, they are peaceful, hardy, and best kept in groups due to their schooling nature. Because of their larger adult size, Pantanal Corys make for great bottom feeders or dithers in aquariums with medium South or Central American Cichlids or other predatory fish which aren’t large enough to try to make a meal of them.

The largest growing of all African cichlids, the Emperor or Giant Cichlid is native to Lake Tanganyika, where it is typically found in deeper waters up to 200 feet deep. In the wild, juvenile fish are omnivorous like most rift lake cichlids but as they grow they become more predatory. In the aquarium, they are relatively hardy and easy to care for but given their enormous adult size are suitable only for the largest aquariums or indoor ponds. Larger fish are territorial and aggressive like most rift lake cichlids, and if a pair forms they will defend an extremely large territory against any tankmates.

A beautiful and sought after wild type freshwater angel, the Manacapuru Red Head or Red Back Angel is found in the slow moving acidic waters close to where the Rio Negro meets the Amazon in Brazil. The Angels found in this specific locality display vivid red coloration in their face and extending up towards the dorsal fin. This coloration develops more intensely with age and will show best when kept under ideal water parameters, especially in terms of temperature (80F+) and soft, acidic water (pH 6 – 6.5). Like all other freshwater angels, they are best kept in groups when young but will form pairs as adults. The recently developed albino strain shows the same red head color along with white and yellows.

The Papa Lyretail or Papa Panaque is found in the middle Amazon, where it usually inhabits relatively fast moving, sediment rich waters. As the name suggests, this species has a distinctive lyre-shaped tail which will develop elaborate streamers as they grow. Juvenile fish display an attractive pattern of spots and squiggles which will fade slightly as they approach adult size. Like its relatives, this pleco is highly adapted to feeding on submerged wood and should be offered plenty of driftwood and specialty foods for wood eaters in the aquarium.

A medium growing relative of the more well known Silver Dollars and Pacus, the Silver Mylossoma or Hard Belly Pacu is widespread in the Amazon and Orinoco basins where they are important food fish due to their abundance and ease of capture. They inhabit a wide range of habitat types but generally prefer relatively shallow river’s edge habitat in areas of slow to moderate flow, where they are found in large aggregations. An omnivore, their diet is similar to the much larger pacu which subside on fruits, nuts and other vegetable matter in the wild and will accept almost any food in the aquarium (although protein rich foods should be fed sparingly). Due to its hardiness, active schooling nature, and manageable adult size, the Silver Mylossoma makes an excellent tankmate for South American cichlids or predatory fish.

A popular and colorful African Rift Lake Cichlid, the Demasoni Is found along the rocky shoreline areas of Lake Malawi. In the wild, these fish are found in loose aggregations, with males taking up and defending territories among the rocks. In the aquarium, they are aggressive and territorial but far less so than many other African Cichlid species, which combined with their small adult size has made them one of the more popular species in the genus. Demasoni Cichlids are largely herbivores and should be fed a diet high in algae or vegetable matter. Although hardy and very adaptable, they will display their best coloration in hard, alkaline water.
