Juvenile Frontosa Cichlids (Cynotilapia frontosa) available!
A larger, predatory cichlid from the deeper, rocky waters of Lake Tanganyika in Africa. They grow to 33cm, with males developing the prominent nuchal hump in maturity that they are recognised for. Keep in a larger aquariums with good filtration, to accommodate their adult size. These fish can be long lived, reaching ages of 20-25 years! Therefore it is best to make sure you plan long term when thinking of keeping one. The tank should be dimly lit, with both rocky hiding spots, and open swimming areas. Water parameters should be alkaline, with the pH of 8.0-9.0, which can be created by using coral or aragonite sand for substrate. Despite being predatory, these fish are actually fairly laid back, and can be kept in a Tanganyikan community with other good sized fish. They prefer to be kept in groups, where they can form a social hierarchy, however adequate space must be insured so that any bickering does not turn into violence.
Temperatures of 23-26°C, and feed a meaty diet of cichlid pellets, and a variety of frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, cockles, prawns, and artemia.

Red-Eye Tetras (Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae)

Emerald Catfish (Brochis splendens)
Also called Emerald Corys, these large bottom dwelling scavengers reach sizes of 8cm, and are perfect for community aquariums. Best kept in groups of 4-6+, on sandy substrate to protect their sensitive barbels. Feed a diet of sinking pellets and frozen/live foods.
Temperatures 22-27°C

Little Electric Blue Jack Dempsey cichlids (Rocio octofasciata var.)
A stunningly blue colour variant of the normal feisty cichlid. They tend to be slightly smaller and less aggressive, but caution must still be taken when trying to find tank mates, and aquarium space needs to suit their adult size of around 25cm. They can also be more sensitive than their usual counterpart.
Temperatures of 22-28°C
Feed a varied diet of cichlid pellets, and frozen/live foods.

Gorgeous Dwarf Gouramis (Trichogaster fasciata)
Available!
The striking colours and great personalities on these little fish (plus their smaller sizes!) make them a favourite centrepiece fish for smaller community tanks.
However, be aware that they can be quite feisty and territorial, and are best not kept with long finned fish, like guppies. Good tank mates include smaller tetras and rasboras, and catfish like plecos, Corys, or otocinclus.
The tank must be well established, and preferably heavily planted, with lots of cover towards the top of the water level where they will spend most of their time
They grow to 9cm, and will need temperatures of 24-28°C.

Introducing our new resident Nile Pufferfish (Tetraodon lineatus), Puff Daddy ❤️
TS/0035/ANPET
Halloween approaches! 👻 So here's a spooky fish in preparation: Black Knife Ghost Fish (Apteronotus albifrons)
This sinister looking fish is actually shy, and quite peaceful. They have poor eyesight, and navigate by using electrical impulses - both giving them off, and receiving them! They can easily move both forwards and backwards with a hypnotic rippling motion, however they have difficulty turning around, so it is important to have an aquarium that is wide enough for them to safely manoeuvre. They grow to a large size, around 50cm, and will eat smaller tank mates, as well as most invertebrates.
They are otherwise quite happy in a community environment of medium sized, peaceful fish, such as mid sized South American cichlids, rainbowfish, and larger tetras and gouramis.
They are nocturnal by nature, and need plenty of shade and hiding places to take shelter in during the day - pvc pipes are often a good choice.
Their diet is meaty, including frozen/live foods, good quality pellets, and perhaps worms and prawns as a treat. They can even become friendly enough to hand feed!
Water temperatures between 23-28°C.

Beautiful Rummy -Nose Tetras available (Petitella bleheri)
An active, smaller schooling fish, growing to 4cm and needing to be kept in groups of at least 6+. They prefer soft water, with a pH of 5.5-7.5, and temperatures of 24-28°C. They can be quite sensitive, so it is best to add them to a mature aquarium with peaceful tank mates.
TS/0035/ANPET
Midas Cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus)
A handsome large cichlid with bags of personality, however, also highly aggressive! Most tank mates, even large plecostomus, will likely be bullied and harassed to death; unless the aquarium is exceptionally large with many visual barriers and places to hide. Therefore they are best kept singly in a large aquarium.
Grows to 30-35cm, with temperatures of 24-38°C.

The Floof Queen 😍
Golden axolotl, (Ambystoma mexicanum)
One of the best ways to tell if your axolotl is healthy is to look at their gills or "floofs"
One of the first signs that something is wrong with your little salamander, is when they start to lose their fluffy gills (or have white fungus balls attached to them! 😬)
This is your cue to check on water parameters, temperatures, diet, and possible sources of stress.
Fear not though, as their gills are very quick to grow back once any problems are solved 😄

Stunning High-Fin Neon Glowlight Rosy barbs (Pethia conchonius)
A strikingly colourful and active barb, perfect for those wanting to add movement and colour to their larger community aquariums.
Keep as a shoal of 6+ fish, temperatures of 18-26°C, so suitable for unheated aquaria! Hardy and tolerant to a wide variety of water parameters.
Tank mates should be medium sized and hardy, with no flowing fins, as these barbs can be nippy (ironically!)

Good sized Red Line Torpedo barbs (Sahyadria denisonii) 👌
A beautiful larger barb, can be a bit feisty so best maintained in groups of 6+ to spread out any aggression among their fellows. Keep with medium sized, robust tank mates. They grow to 15cm each, so need a good sized aquarium to match, especially as they are very active and like to zoom!
Temperatures of 18-26°C, and water should be well oxygenated.
Feed a varied diet of flakes, pellets, and frozen/live foods.

Gorgeous breeding pair of Oscar cichlids (Astronotus ocellatus) still available! ❤️
They are now very friendly, and handfeeding (you can see them expectantly awaiting their lunch here)

Some really gorgeous Parrot cichlids in at the moment, very vibrant and active 😍
A man made hybrid cichlid, with a squashy face and bright colours. They grow to around 25cm, and have some large and aggressive cichlids in their genetic make up (the Midas, and Red Devil cichlids are generally considered to be in their heritage), so have the potential to be fairly feisty. Therefore tank mates must be good sized and hardy.
Whether you love them or hate them - it seems to go strongly either way with hobbyists! - they are always going to be a bright, curious, and sweet fish, that can easily be tamed and grow to form a special bond with their owner.

Vibrant little Honey Gouramis (Trichogaster chuna)
A lovely, smaller centrepiece fish for nano aquariums, although a larger group in bigger tanks can make for a great display! Growing to 5cm, and with much more peaceful temperaments than their commonly sold, larger counterparts, the Dwarf Gouramis (Trichogaster lalius ), they are best kept in small groups, with more females than males. They require a heavily planted aquarium, with plenty of hiding places, and they are particularly fond of floating plants! Males will gain a black throat, and females a darker lateral body line. Temperatures between 18-28°C, with the potential to thrive in unheated aquaria

Orange Corys (Corydoras venezuelanus)
Similar in appearance to Bronze Cory's (Corydoras aeneus), but instead of dull copper colouration, they have striking orange, which improves as they mature.
They grow to around 6cm, with preferred temperatures between 19-25°C, so suitable for temperate ('cold water') aquariums. As with all Cory catfish, they need to be kept in groups of 4-6+ of the same species.
TS/0035/ANPET
Sterba's Cory's (Corydoras sterbai)
With their lovely spots and gold trimming on their pectoral fins, a group of these beauties can really make a fantastic display along the lower levels of any community aquarium

Panda Cory's (Corydoras panda)
Spot the photobomb by Siamese fighting fish? (Betta splendens) 🤣
These adorable little catfish need to be kept in a group of at least 4 of the same species. Sand substrate is best, to avoid damage or infection to their delicate barbels
Temperatures of 21-25°C, feed a diet of catfish pellets, algae wafers, and frozen/live food
Nothing can beat a large shoal of Cory's running up and down a tank 👌
