A unique, heavily armored pleco from the Tocantins river basin in Eastern Brazil, the Rubber or Chubby Pleco gets its name from its unusually wide, flattened body shape. In the wild, they are found in areas of moderate to fast water movement and typically live in rocky areas. The species is normally a grey color in nature but certain rare and very sought after specimens show a striking all yellow or partially yellow and black coloration. They are a hardy and undemanding pleco in the aquarium but should be offered plenty of cover and excellent water quality should be maintained through frequent large water changes. An omnivore, they will accept most sinking foods and fresh veggies but be sure to offer some protein rich options like Repashy gel diet or Fluval Bug Bites Pleco Formula regularly.

Once a common sight in the aquarium trade, the Xingu I or Orange Xingu Pike Cichlid is now a relatively rare import originating from the fast-flowing, clear, rocky waters of Brazil’s Rio Xingu. In the wild, they inhabit rapids among the rocks, and prefer warm, well-oxygenated water with plenty of current. Juvenile fish are social and tend to live in groups but adults are large, powerful and aggressive predators which will do best with other large similarly sized tankmates.

An ideal fish for nano aquariums, the Phoenix Rasbora or Red Micro Rasbora inhabits warm, acidic, shallow waters throughout the island of Borneo. With their vibrant coloration 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. This species is very similar to its close relative the Chili or Mosquito Rasbora but can be distinguished by less uniform red coloration and a broken (vs. continuous) horizontal black stripe extending across the body. 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.

A small, shallow water species found throughout much of the middle and lower Amazon, the Red Spotted Splashing Tetra gets its name from its unique breeding strategy, which has female fish laying their eggs above the waterline in overhanging vegetation. They are typically found in blackwater streams, and do best in soft or slightly acidic water in the aquarium, but are otherwise hardy fish. They will readily accept most floating foods and are a loosely schooling species, so should be kept in groups of 5 or more.

A large growing and unique knifefish, the Elephant Nose Knifefish is, as the name implies, distinguished by its elongated trunk which it uses to root in substrate to find food. They feed on insect larvae and crustaceans in the wild, but in the aquarium will generally accept small frozen foods like bloodworms or brine. Like most knifefish, they are shy and should be provided with plenty of cover in the form of driftwood and leaf litter in the aquarium.

A large, peaceful cichlid found throughout parts of the Amazon and Guyana Shield, the Jurupari Eartheater has been a popular fish in the cichlid hobby for decades. Unfortunately they are often misidentified in the trade, with closely-related species being confused for the true S. jurupari (which can be distinguished by the pattern of spots and stripes in the face). Like all eartheaters, they are adapted to ingest mouthfuls of fine sand substrate and sift out small food items like insect larvae and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they tend to do best in groups and will coexist with a variety of similarly peaceful cichlids or other fish species, and they are generally safe even with much smaller fish.

Commonly known as the Vampire Shrimp (Atya gabonensis), this filter feeding crustacean is also called the Viper Shrimp, Gabon Shrimp, African Filter Shrimp, or the Cameroon Shrimp. The Vampire Shrimp is fairly rare and deserves much more attention for its variable, attractive coloration and unique behaviors. These shrimp prefer higher water flows to help filter feed for particulate food matter, and when kept together will often congregate at the head of the current! They tend to coexist well with other peaceful freshwater species, including non-aggressive fish and Bamboo Shrimp.

A medium growing cichlid found in the soft, acidic waters of Guyana and Suriname, the Bandit or Geayi Cichlid is named for the distinct stripe covering both eyes. In the aquarium, they are active, interesting fish which will often sift sand through their gills like an eartheater as well as rearrange decor like plants or leaf litter. They are somewhat aggressive despite their relatively small adult size and will typically hold their own with similar or larger moderate to aggressive cichlids. Bandit Cichlids will typically get along in groups of 5 or more as long as ample space for territories and structure in the form of driftwood, caves, and plants is provided. They are a hardy and entertaining aquarium fish that will adapt to most conditions.

A distinctive line bred form of the common Angel (Pterophyllum scalare), the Koi Angel is a popular variant due to their striking white, yellow, and black coloration. Like all angels, they do best in a large, tall, planted aquarium with plenty of cover. As a cichlid, they can be moderately aggressive towards one another (especially as adults) but generally do well in a large enough group, usually 5 or more. Most other non-cichlid tankmates will be left alone but they will hunt and eat very small fish or invertebrates. Angels are somewhat sensitive to water quality so care should be taken to avoid large fluctuations in water conditions and partial water changes should be performed regularly.

A unique, smaller growing hillstream loach found in fast-moving streams in Western Borneo, the Striped 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 like Fluval Bug Bites Pleco Formula or Repashy Gel Diet. A social fish like most loaches, they should be kept in groups of at least 3 and will typically get along well with other hillstream loach species.
