We've still got few killer male Dragonblood peacocks left. These guys would go great in most all male cichlid tanks. They are also breeding, so if you wanted a breeding project, they would be an easy one. ~4" males $42, females $16

Geophagus dicrozoster - this is one of the Geos that we don't have in stock very often. They look amazing when they get up to around 4-5" and start to show their full adult coloration. They'll mix well with lots of medium sized, medium aggression fish. And tons of dither fish will work with them as well. These are in the 2.25-3" range. $24

Dorityi rainbow - here's one of the MANY rainbows we currently have in stock. They will be mostly red on the bottom 2/3rds of the body with the top being a blueish color. They'll mix great in most medium sized fish community tanks. 2.75-3" pairs $40

Tropheus Bemba flame - we've got some gorgeous adults available for the first time in a VERY long time. These are on the more aggressive side, especially with each other. Kept alone, they're not terribly bad, but in small groups they tend to pick each other off if there are too many males. We've got a relatively even ratio of males and females, so we can accommodate a small breeding group if you want to give these a try. $50/ea, 3+ 10% off, 6+ 20% off

Orange fire shrimp - these little guys are more of a yellow/orange color, but look very nice either way! These are breeding very easily in our tap water, and should do the same for you. They'll work well in nano tanks, or in bigger tanks with small tank mates. Nothing that'll try to make a meal of them. They also love planted tanks, so that would be a bonus if you've got it. $8

Here's a few of the new African cichlids from the latest order. These guys are STUNNERS! If you're looking for additions to your all male tank, stop in and get yours while the males can still go by themselves. When we've only got a few males left, they'll be going with ladies. These are all in the 4-5" range for the peacocks. We'll try to get some pics of the new haps and mbunas soon.

Orange Xingu pike - these guys are turning into some real stunners! They're less aggressive at this size, but will become very aggressive when larger. They'll mix well with other large, very aggressive cichlids. They get up to 12"+ for males, a little smaller for females. 3.5-4" $50

Leporinus fasciatus - this is a very attractively colored fish, getting black and gold stripes, and also getting to a rather large size of 10". They're very fast swimmers and will nip up slower moving fish. They mix well as dither fish for larger, more aggressive cichlids, like Oscars, and the like. You will want to put them in with those fish when they are relatively close in size. As a 6-8" Oscar would be too big for what these currently are at, but a 3-5" one should be fine. 2.5"+ $13

These Herichthys Pearsei are getting some great size and great color coming in! With more age the top of the body becomes a nice golden color, with the bottom portion being black; a very striking contrast. These do get up to 12", but are not the most aggressive of cichlids. They would mix well with severums, geophagus, acaras, and other similar sized/aggression cichlids. Plecos and catfish also mix well. 4-5" $42

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
