Whilst jamie was doing a water change on his Aqua Oak display tank, one of his amano shrimps wanted to come up and say hello, and thank him for his loving care ❤️
The stunning Golden -Eyed Dwarf Cichlid (
nannacara anomala).
Our beautiful little Dwarf cichlids are really starting to come into their own now, this stunning male displays in front of several females.
Distribution. South America: Aruka River in Guyana, east to the lower Marowijne River in Suriname.
Maximum Size. 7cm
Temperature . 22-25°C
Water Parameters. Soft, slightly acidic conditions are best long-term. pH: 6.0-7.2, dH: up to 8 degrees.
Lighting. No special requirements
Sexual Dimorphism . Males are usually larger and more colourful, often showing metallic blue on the head and flanks. Mature males generally also possess elongated unpaired fins. Females are yellow with a black band along the lateral line, but showing a checkerboard pattern when ready to spawn. Both sexes look similar as juveniles.
Feeding. Flake, granules, and frozen foods
These Albino Hoplo Catfish are extremely sociable and, in the wild, will often congregate in their thousands🫠
We would recommend keeping a group of at least 5, in a large tank with medium-sized tankmates.
For more information, pop in and speak to a member of staff 🙂

Super Parallelus Cory (CW127)
Like all of its kin, this fish is best kept on a soft sand substrate where it can root around and forage without risk to its barbels which can be damaged by abrasion and bacterial infections from the accumulated waste that often builds up in coarse gravel. Filtration should be efficient with areas of moderate water movement and a decent level of oxygenation. Regular maintenance, including frequent partial water changes, should be carried out in order to keep these fish in good condition. Provide plenty of shady areas amongst driftwood, rocks, and areas of dense planting. As a social species, they should be kept in groups of 5 or more. Other peaceful species such as some of the smaller pencilfish, tetra, and rasboras make ideal tankmates, and their presence as dither fish in midwater will encourage the Corydoras out into view more often.
This Orange Spot Goby is doing a wonderful job cleaning the sand bed!
Great for keeping the sand nice and fresh in large, mature aquariums
The Turkana Juwel Cichlid. A small juwel which prefers a hard alkaline water. This jem only grows to 7cm, will live happily in a community tank with no long finned fish. Such stunning natural colours.
