We have 1 stunning Fire Eel still waiting for their forever home 🏠

One day this specimen will be reaching a size of 100cm which means an aquarium of 400L or more is a MUST (dimensions are more important than water volume)

Other than their size these fish are incredibly peaceful and are actually rather shy 😌 Any small fishes kept with these will obviously be eaten but are no threat to a fish larger than the eels mouth

Hillstream loaches are back in! 🥳

The Hillstream loaches is a fascinating Loach, known for its unique appearance and its specialised habitat needs.

They are native to fast-flowing streams and rivers in Asia and are characterised by their flat, disc-like bodies and ability to cling to surfaces.

These guys thrive in well-oxygenated, fast-flowing water with strong currents and prefer rocky or gravelly substrates. The temperature of the aquarium should be cooler too, ideally between 18-24 degrees Celsius 🌡️

Trapa Natans ( or Water Chestnut 🌰)

The Water Chestnut is a distinctive looking floating plant that can provide shelter for small fish and wildlife.
It also develops a small white flower, that appears late summer time 😍🌸

This plant can also help with algae control as it provides shade from sunlight and also absorbs some of the excess nutrients out of the water!

Water Chestnuts reproduce by forming nuts that sink to the bottom of the pond in autumn and then the nuts will form into new plants for the following summer ☀️

Red Parrot Fish! 🦜

Red Parrot Cichlids are a hybrid species, known for their vibrant colours and unique appearance.
These fish have a rounded body, a beak like mouth, and their mouths are permanently open 😮

Red Parrots are not necessarily aggressive but can be territorial, so it is best that they are housed with robust fish of a similar size and temperament ☺️
