Red lighting brings a whole new vibe to your tank and comes with some awesome benefits:

🌙 See your nocturnal species – Fish don’t perceive red light the way we do, so while the aquarium feels darker for them, you get a front-row seat to watch your shy, nocturnal fish come alive in the evening. It’s like unlocking a whole new world in your tank.

🍽️ Perfect feeding time – Since these night-loving species are out and about, it’s the best chance to feed them. You’ll finally get to enjoy seeing them eat instead of wondering if the food ever made it to them.

🌱 Boost plant growth – Red light also supports photosynthesis. Running it for an extra couple of hours each day can give your aquatic plants the extra push they need to grow stronger, healthier, and more vibrant.

With red lighting, you’re not just creating a stunning nighttime atmosphere—you’re enhancing the health and balance of your entire aquarium. 🌟🐟

With Halloween and spooky season fast approaching we thought it about time to post something truly horrifying!!! 🤯👻🎃

Meet the Apple snail and his super scary Algae chomping teeth!

Small but mighty, the Apple snail (also known as mystery snail) are great Algae eaters and suitable for most home aquaria. Although they are partial to eating live plants too - no species is left un-chomped

Can you see all the super tiny teeth clawing at the glass??

Today’s Cory: The Duplicate Cory (Corydoras duplicareus) 🐟

The Duplicate Cory is a striking little catfish that often gets mistaken for its close cousin, the Adolfoi Cory. At first glance, the two look almost identical — both have a clean white body, dark eye mask, and that beautiful orange patch on the head.

But if you look closer, the differences become clearer:
✨ The Duplicate Cory’s black band runs all the way from its dorsal fin down through the caudal (tail), making it bolder and more pronounced.
✨ The Adolfoi Cory, on the other hand, has a shorter black marking that doesn’t fully reach the tail, giving it a slightly “lighter” appearance.

Both are peaceful, social bottom-dwellers that thrive in groups, adding so much character and charm to a community tank. The Duplicate Cory, with its crisp contrast and vibrant presence, is truly a gem for any aquarist.

It’s always fun spotting the subtle distinctions in Corydoras species — they’re like little treasures waiting to be appreciated! 🐠💛

✨ Tonight’s spotlight is on the Twosaddle Cory (Corydoras weitzmani) – a truly special little catfish we haven’t had in the store for many years!

This species is instantly recognizable thanks to its cream-colored body with two bold, saddle-like black markings – one over the shoulders and one near the tail. That’s where it gets its name, the "twosaddle" Cory.

Native to fast-flowing streams in Peru, these Corydoras love being in groups and are happiest when kept with at least 5–6 of their own kind. They’re peaceful, active, and always busy sifting through the sand for food, which makes them both entertaining and useful in keeping the tank clean.

If you’re just getting into fishkeeping, the twosaddle Cory is a wonderful choice – hardy, social, and full of personality. Provide them with a soft sandy substrate (they like to dig without damaging their barbels), gentle water flow, and hiding spots, and you’ll see them thrive.

It’s a rare treat to see them available, so if you’ve been waiting to add something unique and charming to your community tank, now’s the time! 🐟💛
