Para pleco L075 - here's another one of our new plecos. These have very nice colors, accentuated by the bright orange fins (better looking in person, especially when they're popped up more). They will eat some algae, but they're by far not the best at it. They appreciate some frozen foods in their diet as well, particularly blood worms or Krill. These ones are pretty good sized, at around 5", $75

Gold Cloud pleco - this is one of the more vibrant plecos available, that can get up to 10-11". They'll eat most foods, but are not much of an algae cleaner. Due to their larger adult size they can mix in with a wide range of fish, but nothing too overly aggressive. These are good sized already at about 5-5.5", $79

12/15/2024

Geophagus steindachneri "Red Hump" - this is one of the more colorful Geos, and also one of the more aggressive ones. They only get to 5-6" though, so not that terrible. They mix well with medium aggression cichlids that are a little bigger than they are. Severums, Parrots, Viejas would all work well. In larger tanks they're probably OK with acaras, angels, etc. They're a mouth brooding cichlid, similar to most African cichlids, so very easy to breed. These are 2.5-3", females $17, males $27

Placidochromis milomo VC10 - this is one of the larger, more aggressive haps from Lake Malawi. They mix well with other larger, similar aggression cichlids. This stud is a little over 4" $48, females $20

Taeniolethrinops praeorbitalis (that's a mouth full!) - this large growing hap (14" max) is relatively rare in the hobby, and even more so, to find a colored up male! These make great additions to an all male tank, or a larger predator tank. We've got only 2 males available. The one pictured is 5.5" $ 59, and a 4.5" male that's $55

Polka dot pleco L020 - this pleco is a decent algae eater, but also eats lots of pellets and wafers. They have a dark gray body, with light gray spots. They're one of the less expensive fancy plecos, with these 4-4.5" ones checking in at only $50

Ancistrus damasceni - this is one of the newly discovered Ancistrus types of plecos. They've got a very nice pattern, and are otherwise very much similar to other Ancistrus/bushy nose plecos. They're great algae eaters, but will eat anything pretty much. They'll max out around 6" for males. Currently 3.25-4" $49

Satanoperca (Geophagus) daemon - this is one of the many South American earth eating cichlids, which simply means they love to dig through the sand for food! They can be kept in a tank with gravel, but you may not see as much of their natural behavior. For their size, they're relatively peaceful. These are around 2.5-3" $24

Yellow fin Ricefish - This is one of the rarer versions of the Rice Killi family of fish. They've got an understated yellow hue to them, with yellow stripes on the tail. They're compatible with most other small/medium peaceful fish, but tiny fish may be eaten or chewed on. They make a great dither/schooling fish for something like an angel tank, or geophagus tank. These are pushing 2" already, $12

Peacock gudgeon - these relatively peaceful little gobies make a great addition to any peaceful tank that has mostly smaller fish. They only get up to a few inches, so anything small enough to not eat them, that is peaceful, will work well as a tank mate. These are close to full grown, around 1.5" $14

Red Rooster wasp fish - this cute little guy was having a staring contest with me, and was very confused as to why there was no food dropping into the tank 😐 They stay rather small, only getting around 3". Tiny fish and inverts may be eaten. Otherwise, they're pretty good with most fish around their size. 2"+ $89 #waspfish #saltwateraquarium #marinefish #angelfish #gobyfish #clownfish #bluehookaquatics #staringcontest

This is a quick video of all the many new saltwater fish that we've got in stock. I tried to keep it brief, so hopefully you can get a good enough idea of what everything is. If you've got questions on what a specific fish is, just ask and leave the time stamp when it appears. #bluehookaquatics #marinefish #saltwateraquarium #triggerfish #angelfish #clownfish #cardinalfish #pufferfish #tangfish #waspfish #gobyfish #sandsifter #blenny #butterflyfish

Here are some of our beautiful Neon Tetras and Harlequin Rasboras. If you're looking for a peaceful schooling fish for a tank with smaller fish, these will work great!! They do well in groups of at least 6, but more is always better. Neon $5.50, 12 for $60. Harlequin $4 #neontetra #tetrafish #harlequinrasbora #rasbora #danio #guppyfish #peacefulfish #dwarfcichlid #plantedaquarium #shrimptank #freshwaterfish #pleco #bluehookaquatics

Vampire shrimp just chilling and gathering in food at feeding time! These get up to 4.5-5" and are a peaceful as they come. They're in with endlers and they get along great. Don't put them in with anything that might take a bite out of them!! 3.5-4" $30 #vampireshrimp #shrimptank #freshwatershrimp #communityfish #peacefulfish #guppies #tetrafish #danio #ramcichlid #dwarfcichlid #fishtank #bluehookaquatics

We've got a LOT of nice guppies and endlers in stock. If you're looking for something small, and colorful, these will do the job! Neither get much more than 1". We've got just about all males at the moment. #guppyfish #guppies #endler #nanofish #nanotank #freshwatershrimp #plantedaquarium #danio #tetrafish #fishofinstagram #bluehookaquatics #aquariumhobby
