-
Pygmy Corydoras: Charming and active bottom feeders, thriving after quarantine.
-
Mega Clown Ancistrus: A stunning variety of pleco with unique patterns, settled in beautifully.

L52 Zebra Angel Plecos: Breathtakingly beautiful, these are a true showstopper with their striking zebra markings.

Asia: From Vibrant Bettas to Delicate Barbs
Our Asian tanks feature an array of captivating species, including:
-
Female Betta Fish: Exceptionally beautiful females, often mistaken for males due to their intense colours.
-
Zebra Danios & Golden Danios: Hardy and active community fish.
-
White Cloud Mountain Minnows & Golden White Cloud Mountain Minnows: Excellent temperate options.
-
Pentazona Barbs: A shyer, more diminutive barb species (up to 5cm), perfect for densely planted aquariums of 50 litres or more. They are calmer than typical barbs and thrive in groups.
-
Dwarf Golden Barbs: Even smaller (up to 3cm), these little gems are ideal for heavily planted nano tanks (around 40 litres for a group), offering a striking golden body with black stripes.
Africa: Unique Invertebrates
-
Bamboo Shrimp: Fascinating filter feeders with a unique appearance, requiring good tank flow.
Australia: Breeding Opportunities
We continue to offer popular Australian species, with a fresh stock expected soon:
-
Pseudomoguls (Luminata & Gertrude): Excellent for breeding projects, with plenty of males and females available.
-
Red Rainbows & Bosemani Rainbows: Consistently beautiful and vibrant.
-
Peacock Gudgeon: A popular and attractive species.
The Crown Jewel: Everglades Pygmy Sunfish (Elassoma evergladei)
Prepare to be captivated by a species we believe is the next big thing in fishkeeping – the Everglades Pygmy Sunfish. This relatively rare North American native has enthralled us with its unique charm and character.
-
Micro Marvels: At just 1-2cm, these tiny fish are perfect for dedicated nano setups (a pair in 20 litres, a group in 40 litres).
-
Stunning Appearance: Males boast black bodies with iridescent blue spots, while both sexes display a unique "edging" movement.
-
Breeding Project Potential: With a short lifespan (1-3 years in captivity), they are ideal for breeding enthusiasts seeking to establish a lineage.
-
True Micro-Predators: A unique challenge, these fish exclusively accept live foods (or frozen options like copepods/rotifers), encouraging deeper engagement with the hobby.
These Pygmy Sunfish require densely planted tanks to thrive and a sponge filter to protect their fry. They are truly a rewarding species that can transform a casual fish keeper into a dedicated fish fanatic.
