Have you heard of Penang Betta?

Related to the popular and far more flashy domestic Betta, these guys are an interesting wild type Betta species.

They are paternal mouth brooders, meaning dad carefully carries the eggs in his mouth during their development. He then spits out the fry once they start to hatch!

Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

We love shell-dwelling cichlids and are lucky enough to have two species in stock at the moment - Neolamprologus multifasciatus and Neolamprologus brevis

The breeding behavior of these fish is very cool, they live and raise their fry in abandoned shells which makes for a beautiful display or fun project

The Royal Farlowella (Sturisoma panamense) is a unique looking species of herbivorous catfish, native to the rivers of South America.

This peaceful bottom-dweller is primarily nocturnal, but can often be spotted during the day when provided with plenty of plants, hardscape and other hiding places to explore and feel secure.
