Say hello to the dazzling Daisy’s Blue Ricefish (Oryzias woworae) — tiny gems that sparkle like living sapphires! These little stunners bring unbelievable colour, lively movement, and heaps of personality to any peaceful community tank.

💙 What they’re like
Always on the go, they zip about in tight groups, showing off electric blue flanks and glowing fins. They’re gentle, sociable, and wonderfully active — perfect for anyone who loves a bit of sparkle in their aquarium.

🏡 Aquarium setup
• Best kept in groups of 6+
• Soft to neutral water
• Heavily planted tanks make them feel secure and really bring out their colour
• Gentle flow and excellent water quality keep them at their brightest

🍽️ Feeding
They’re not fussy eaters! Offer quality micro-pellets, crushed flakes, baby brine shrimp, daphnia, and other small live or frozen foods. With the right diet, their colours absolutely pop.

Meet our wonderfully quirky Spiny Eels (Macrognathus siamensis) — the secret stars of any freshwater aquarium! These long, ribbon-like beauties aren’t actually true eels at all, but they’ve absolutely mastered the art of sneaking, snooping, and charming their way into your heart.

🐠 Personality & behaviour
They’re natural explorers, happiest when weaving through plants, burrowing into soft sand, and investigating every nook and cranny. Once settled, they become bold, interactive, and wonderfully cheeky!

🏡 Aquarium needs
• A peaceful community setup
• Soft sand substrate (they love to dig!)
• Plenty of hiding spots – caves, pipes, driftwood
• Secure lids… they’re adventurous escape artists

🍽️ Feeding
They enjoy a varied diet of bloodworms, brine shrimp, small pellets, and other protein-rich treats. Keep meals bite-sized and watch them dance with excitement!

If you’re after something unusual, active, and full of character, pop in and meet our Spiny Eels today — they’re ready to wriggle their way into a new home!

Say hello to the most dazzling little powerhouse in the shop right now — the peacock mantis shrimp! 🌈🦐 With colours that shimmer like gemstones and a personality that’s equal parts cheeky and captivating, this marine marvel is a true show-stopper for seasoned hobbyists.

To keep this punchy performer happy, an ideal aquarium should offer:
✨ A secure, well-sealed tank (they’re known for strong strikes!)
✨ Around 80–120 litres with stable marine parameters
✨ Plenty of rocky hideaways and burrow spots
✨ Sand substrate for natural behaviour
✨ Strong filtration and consistent temperature

When it comes to feeding, they adore a varied, protein-rich menu:
🦀 Crabs
🦪 Molluscs
🦐 Shrimp
🐟 Meaty marine foods
(They’ll love using their famous smashing claws!)

Ready to add some sparkle, charisma, and ocean-edge excitement to your aquarium? Pop in and see them while they’re still available — they never stay in stock for long! 💥🌊
