The common Banjo Catfish has been a favorite oddball fish in the aquarium hobby for many years due to their unique appearance, peaceful demeanor and small adult size. This species is widespread throughout most of the Amazon and Orinoco basins, where it inhabits shallow, warm stretches of slow-moving waters and areas of flooded forest. Their unique body shape and coloration acts as highly effective camouflage in the submerged leaf litter where they are typically found. In the aquarium, this species is hardy and undemanding, although they can be slow to find food and may be outcompeted by fast-moving or aggressive feeding tankmates.

An attractively marked Ancistrus known from the Rio Momon in the Peruvian Amazon, the Green Spot Momon Bristlenose Pleco is easily distinguished by the namesake large greenish spots found across its entire body.

Adult males develop extensive ‘tentacles’ around the snout which gives this complex its common name. The species is easy to breed in the aquarium when provided with good quality food and maintained in good water quality.

A unique species of the so-called Rabbit Snails native to Sulawesi, the White Spotted Rabbit snail is found in the rivers and creeks surrounding lake Poso. An omnivore that primarily grazes on algae and biofilm in the wild, they will readily accept a variety of prepared foods in the aquarium. Their native habitat is characterized by warm, clear, slightly hard water and they will do best when kept in similar conditions. Like all members of the genus Tylomelania, these snails reproduce slowly, producing only a few eggs at a time which hatch quickly into fully-formed baby snails.

An uncommonly imported and intricately patterned freshwater spiny eel, the Unicolor Eel is believed to inhabit Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, but their distribution and habitat in the wild remains unclear. Like their close relative the Fire Eel, this species is often shy at first but are intelligent and personable fish which will soon learn to beg for food and recognize their owners. Largely insectivorous in the wild, they will readily feed on live earthworms at first and can be weaned on to frozen foods over time. Although they can and sometimes will eat smaller fish, they are not particularly active hunters and most fast moving tankmates will not be at risk of becoming a meal. Hardy and adaptable, they make an excellent addition to an aquarium large enough to house what will be a substantially large fish as an adult and will get along well with most tankmates.

An aquarium hobby classic, the common Angel (Pterophyllum scalare) has been selectively bred into many different color forms and variants over the years. The Blue Pinoy Angelfish is a somewhat recently developed strain known for its deep blue coloration and high contrast black markings. As a vertically-oriented species, they do best in a large, tall, planted aquarium with plenty of cover. Although peaceful when young, they can be moderately aggressive towards one another 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.

The Giant or Myer’s Kuhli Loach is a larger-growing, more robust relative of the popular banded Kuhlii Loach found throughout Thailand and parts of Malaysia. Due to their close similarity with P. kuhlii they are often misidentified or mixed in the trade, but can be distinguished by their pattern of overall larger black spots and a fully or mostly black caudal fin. In the wild they are found in a wide range of habitats, from peat swamps to shallow stretches of large river but usually inhabit soft, slightly acidic water with a fine sand or mud substrate. Like most of their relatives, they are hardy fish in the aquarium but prefer plenty of cover and will be most active and happiest in groups of 5 or more.

The Watermelon Tetra or Red Laser Tetra is a colorful larger growing species of Hemigrammus known from the middle and lower Rio Negro in Brazil, where it inhabits warm, acidic, soft water shallows, often in large mixed shoals with other similar tetra species. While this species’ normal coloration is an attractive reddish with a distinctive iridescent pink stripe, it gets its name and popularity from the coloration of adult males in breeding condition, which is a deep red with black trimmed fins. When on full display males in breeding color are easily among the most vibrantly colored of all South American tetra species. In the aquarium, the Watermelon Tetra is a hardy and robust species that will do well with a variety of tankmates. For optimal display they should be kept in groups of at least 5, but larger groups tend to bring out the best coloration and behavior in both males and females.

The Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco is a line bred variant of the Common Bristlenose or Bushynose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.) developed from the more common albino strain which features vivid blue eyes and deep yellow coloration throughout the body and fins. With their vibrant coloration they make a striking addition to a medium or large community or planted aquarium and are one of the most popular of the many color forms of Ancistrus available in the hobby. As with all Common Bristlenose Plecos, these fish are ideal aquarium inhabitants, grazing on diatom algae while still being safe with live plants and peaceful towards all tankmates. While these plecos will do an excellent job controlling nuisance algae in the aquarium, they should be fed regularly with a high quality diet like Fluval Bug Bites Pleco formula or herbivore formula Repashy gel diet.

One of the most popular dwarf cichlids in the hobby, Apistgramma cacatuoides (also known as the Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid) is an attractive and interesting addition to smaller community aquarium.

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.

Originating from the alkaline waters of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, the Turkana Jewel Cichlid is one of the smaller and more docile members of its genus, making them much more suitable aquarium fish than the large growing and extremely aggressive species of their former genus, Hemichromis which are more commonly available in the hobby. With their vivid blood red coloration and and active, outgoing nature, this species makes an impressive centerpiece fish or addition to a mixed species cichlid community aquarium provided they are given ample space to maintain a territory. Although this species is peaceful for an African Cichlid, they are still territorial (especially when breeding) and tankmates should be chosen with care. The Turkana Jewel Cichlid is extremely hardy and will do well under a wide variety of conditions but they will display their best color in slightly hard, alkaline water.

An omnivore, the Jungle Perch feeds on smaller fish, invertebrates, and fruit and plant matter in the wild and will accept most prepared and frozen foods in the aquarium. With their vivid spotted pattern and active nature, this fish makes a unique addition to a larger predatory fish community aquarium.
