  • Peruvian Freshwater Sole (Hypoclinemus mentalis)

    Peruvian Freshwater Sole (Hypoclinemus mentalis)

    Price range: $39.99 through $49.99

    A rare and oddball species to find, the Peruvian Freshwater Sole (Hypoclinemus mentalis) is native to the Amazon, Orinoco, and Essequibo river basins of South America. This locale is specifically from the Rio Blanco of Peru. The Peruvian Freshwater Sole is also the only member of its genus, adding to its uniqueness. They will spend most of their time burrowed or otherwise camouflaged against the substrate, waiting for prey. Peruvian Freshwater Sole prefer live food and can be finicky while weaning onto frozen food such as bloodworms and mysis shrimp. They can be kept with tankmates, but they should be peaceful and too large to be considered food.

  • Amazon Freshwater Sole (Apionichthys nattereri)

    Amazon Freshwater Sole (Apionichthys nattereri)

    $49.99

    A unique medium sized species of the primarily marine-dwelling sole, the Amazon Freshwater Sole is found throughout the majority of the Amazon basin. It inhabits shallow streams and swamps with fine sand substrate, where they spend most of their time burrowed, waiting to ambush prey. In the aquarium, they are a relatively hardy species but typically require live small prey items, at least at first until they can be weaned onto frozen foods like bloodworms or mysis shrimp. They should be provided with fine sand substrate and any tankmates should be peaceful fish too large to be eaten.
