A large growing, spectacularly colored Central American Cichlid, the Argentea or Silver Cichlid is native to the Atlantic coastal drainage of Mexico, where it is typically found in riverine habitat. Like many of its close relatives in Central America, this species is threatened by habitat degradation and competition from nonnative species but has been bred commercially for the aquarium hobby for many years. In the aquarium, they are an aggressive, boisterous fish that requires plenty of open swimming space as well as lots of cover. They are sensitive to water quality so frequent large water changes should be considered essential to long term success with this species.
A large and impressive neotropical cichlid originating from lakes and rivers in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the Haitian Cichlid or “Black Nasty” has been a favorite among cichlid hobbyists for years. With their high contrast pattern, aggressive behavior, and large adult size, they make an impressive display fish for a suitably large aquarium.

A beautiful tetra from the acidic blackwaters of the Rio Nanay in Peru, the Sailfin Tetra is a medium-sized species that makes for an impressive display fish as an adult. Both sexes have the namesake large dorsal fin, but mature males will have an extremely elongated, brightly colored fin. In the wild, they tend to be found in small groups in shallow waters, usually in areas with substantial cover in the form of leaf litter, fallen branches, or other vegetation. In the aquarium, they can be shy at first but will quickly become more bold if given plenty of cover. A great and showy fish for densely planted or hardscape tanks.
A popular and brilliantly colored species of Cory found throughout much the Meta and Orinoco basins in Colombia and Venezuela, the Green Gold Cory has been popular in the aquarium hobby for many years . Like most Corys, they are peaceful, hardy, and best kept in groups of at least 5 due to their schooling nature.

One of the many variants of Anubias in the aquarium trade, Anubias barteri is hardy and can thrive in low or high tech systems. Anubias barteri is an excellent choice to add dimension to your aquarium, often being planted in the midground or background either in the substrate or on your hardscape.
The rare and impressive albino form of the Sterlet Sturgeon (A. ruthenus) is new to the aquarium and pond hobby, having been line bred by specialized farms in Europe. Originally native to freshwater bodies of Central Asia and Eastern Europe, the Sterlet is one of the smallest growing species of sturgeon but still attains a significant adult size of up to 30″, making them more suitable for indoor or outdoor ponds than most aquariums. A hardy fish, like most sturgeon they prefer clean, well-oxygenated water and cooler temperatures and are quite comfortable with temperatures as low as the low 50’s.
A strange elongated knifefish found through much of the middle Amazon, the Thermometer Knife is a sand dweller, spending much of its time buried in fine sand with just its head visible above the surface. They use their long, sensitive snouts and sensitivity to electrical impulses to find small prey items like worms, insect larvae, and crustaceans buried in the substrate. In the aquarium, they are hardy fish but can easily be outcompeted for food by faster or more aggressive tankmates so are best kept in a species tank or with other peaceful, slow moving species. Like all knifefish, they are primarily active at night but will occasionally emerge during the day to forage and explore. Although two species in the genus Gymnorhamphichthys are often referred to as “thermometer knife”, G. hypostomus is the more commonly seen species in the trade.
An attractive, relatively peaceful medium-growing cichlid, the Peru Festivum or Flag Cichlid is found throughout the Nanay and Itaya rivers in the Peruvian Amazon. Like most of its relatives in the genus Mesonauta, they tend to be found close to the water’s surface in slower-moving areas with lots of overhanging vegetation and often live alongside Angels. In the wild, a large amount of their diet is made up of fruit and nuts that fall into the water from overhanging trees but will accept almost any prepared or frozen foods in the aquarium.
A unique South American eel species, the Spotted Swamp Eel is found in shallow waters throughout much of the Amazon basin. A slow moving and peaceful fish despite their large size, they are adapted to stagnant, oxygen poor water and can use atmospheric air by taking breaths directly from the water’s surface. In the aquarium they are easy to keep, but should be kept tightly covered at all times as they are notorious escape artists. The heavily spotted form is uncommon and more sought after than the olive or mottled form more commonly known as the Marbled Swamp Eel.
A gentle giant found throughout much of the Amazon basin, the Ripsaw or Niger Catfish is one of the larger species of South American catfish. With distinctive saw-like scales running down their sides and dark black coloration, they are an impressive show fish but due to their enormous adult size are best suited for large custom aquariums or indoor ponds. In the wild, they use their sensitive barbels to scour sandy or muddy river bottoms for food, which primarily consists of insect larvae, worms, and crustaceans. In the aquarium they will readily accept almost any sinking prepared or frozen foods.
A rare and once nearly impossible to find species of Cory, the Two Saddle or Weitzmani Cory is a medium-growing species found in the Madre de Dios region of Southern Peru. Like all Corys, it is a schooling species and is best kept in groups. In the wild, they use their sensitive barbels to sift for food particles in the sand and should be kept on fine substrate in the aquarium. This species is hardy and undemanding but does prefer slightly cooler temperatures than some other tropical fish (71-76F).
