Hyphessobrycon procyon is a small deep bodied tetra native to the Rio Aripuanã in Brazil which is located within the larger Rio Madeira system.

Pelvicachromis pulcher. Color and parental care has to be almost unmatched in this dwarf cichlid. We have a striking group of these in stock, along with a couple other Pelvicachromis species. Stop in and ask our team about them.

This female Green Dragonet has been through quarantine and is well conditioned. She is eating frozen mysis as you can see in the video. She would be an awesome addition to a well established tank. Come in and see her!

Rainbow Emperor Tetras, Nematobrycon lacortei. These are a hardy, but uncommon Emperor Tetra species. And like the more common Emperor Tetras species, the males and females are easy to tell apart by eye color. In the Rainbow Emperors, males have a red eye and the females have a green eye. In the wild this species of characin fish is endemic to the Amazon river basin and Araguaia river, in Peru and Brazil. House a group in a 20 long or larger heavily planted tank. They are a peaceful species that do well with just about any aquarium fish, just stay away from more aggressive species that will pick on these guys. We currently have these in stock. Come in and see them for yourself!

Orange Shrimp 08/01/2024

Given a planted aquarium without any predators, Neocaridina davidi of any shade will readily reproduce. These shrimp have been bred by a local breeder in a tap water at around 7.8 pH, but should thrive in conditions from 6-8. We will do our best to provide the s*x ratio requested, but can't guarantee a correct identification every time. Shrimp are shipped overnight and guaranteed to arrive alive.

Boesemani Rainbowfish 07/30/2024

These Melanotaenia boesemani were produced by one of our talented local breeders. Males and females are available. They are between 2 and 3 inches currently, but males can reach up to 4. Water composition should not be crucial provided it is clean and not too soft. When provided with enough company and swimming space, boesemani rainbows are active and confident fish.

Apistogramma panduro PAIR 07/30/2024

Apistogramma nijsseni comes from the Loreto region of Peru. These waters can get as acidic as a 4.0 pH, but a range of 5-7 should be sufficient for breeding. This species tends to spawn best in pairs. This pair has broken off from the group and shows all signs of spawning soon. Exact pair of fish pictured will be shipped.

Apistogramma sp. “Pebas” PAIR 07/22/2024

Apistogramma pebas is a species of dwarf Cichlid from Peru. These two have not spawned yet, but have been living peacefully as pair for some time now.

These Costello tetras have been hanging out here for a while and they have really colored up nicely. A group in a 20+ gallon would be eye catching. Plus they won’t break your bank account.
