🐟 Fresh stock for the nano tank crowd! 🐟

We just got in some Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmaeus)—a favorite among planted tank and shrimp keepers. These active little catfish stay under 1” and love to school, making them a perfect fit for small setups or peaceful community tanks.

Best of all? They’re completely shrimp-safe and won’t bother even the tiniest Neocaridina. 🦐🌿

🐡 Indian Pea Puffers In Stock at Alien Aquatics!
📍 4054 Franklin Rd., Roanoke, VA | ☎️ 540-566-3475

For the dedicated freshwater aquarist looking to add some true character to a nano setup, we’ve got a new batch of Indian Dwarf Pea Puffers (Carinotetraodon travancoricus) in store now.

These micro-predators are:

🔹 Freshwater-only and fully aquatic — no brackish adjustment needed
🔹 Ideally kept solo or in a species-only setup with dense hardscape and plant cover
🔹 Excellent for 5–10 gallon aquariums with a stable cycle and ample foraging zones
🔹 Feeding aggressively on Fritz Vitalis — a new line of raw-ingredient-based foods we’re now carrying. Great response from the puffers with improved color and activity noted.

If you’ve been considering a personality-packed addition to your collection, these puffers are as interactive and intelligent as they come — known to recognize their keepers and follow movement outside the tank.

Stop by and see them hunt live snails and graze on our high-quality prepared foods. Quantities are limited.
