Paralabidochromis chilotes - this is a rarely seen Victorian African cichlid. As far as most Vics go, they're not overly aggressive, but they can still pack a punch. They'll mix well with similar sized peacocks, less aggressive mbuna (think yellow labs, or Rusties), and haps. They max out around 4-5" and the ones we've got are around 3". They are currently breeding, so we can do breeding groups, or males make a nice addition to an all male cichlid tank. Females $13, males $25
We've got some very nice sized Platinum and Black veil angels back in stock! Both are very good size, and would make a very nice contrast in your semi aggressive community tank. Platinums $24, Black veil $19
We will be closing early today, Saturday the 17th, at 4:30. Please plan ahead, and sorry for any inconvenience!
We will be closing at 7:00 today, Wednesday, August 7th. Also we will be CLOSED this Friday, August 9th. Please plan accordingly!
Aiptasia-eating Filefish - these are a very unusual looking saltwater fish, that as the name implies, will eat aiptasia. They're relatively peaceful, so do not mix them with any overly aggressive, or large boisterous fish. They'll get up to 4-5" when fully grown, so they do not require that big of an aquarium. Ours are pretty close to that size, around 3.5-4" $56
Chromidotilapia Guntheri - this is a relatively rare West African cichlid. They're not terribly aggressive, and should mix well with things like larger tetras, danios, rainbows, and most medium sized plecos and catfish (Synodontis are a great choice!). There are lots of other options as well. They can get up to 6" for males, and around 4.5" for females. These are around 2.75-3.5" $29/ea.
#
Chili/Fire red Oscar - these guys look amazing! And they're getting some good size now too! The red on these guys gets deeper worth age, but it's pretty nice already. Mix these with other big South and Central American cichlids of a similar current size. 3.75-4.25"+ $80
Buy yours here --> https://www.bluehookaquatics.com/product-page/fire-red-oscar-4-nice
Gold Red Spotted Severum - we've got a few of these beauties left. They're getting up to a good size, 4"+ With more size, the red/orange color will continue to deepen. They'll mix well with other similar sized cichlids, or larger dither fish. $62
Marbled Lungfish - if you're looking for a true monster fish, this is the one for you! These monsters can easily get over 4 foot! They're not picky at all as to food; if it fits in their mouth, they'll probably eat it. Anything bigger than 3-4" should be safe for now, but long term they'll need to be with other monster fish. Just nothing too aggressive that would rip off their legs or chew on their fleshy skin. The smaller ones are 12"+ $125, and the largest one is 15" $135
We've got a nice looking batch of Salvini recently arrived, and settled in at the store. These are a medium sized cichlid (8-9" max), that are also somewhat middle of the road aggression wise as well. They should mix with quite a few cichlids, and other larger fish that are not too docile. These are 3"+ $27
We've brought in the other half of our new discus stock!! They're just as big and gorgeous as the first half. Once these are gone, it'll be a little while before we can get more in stock! Get yours while they're here! 5" Blue diamonds $110, all others 4"+ $90
Vampire shrimp - despite their scary name, these are rather harmless; we've got ours in with endlers and cherry shrimp. They can get up to 5", and are very unique looking! They make a great center piece for a smaller peaceful tank. They do not have claws, but rather "fan like" hands that they use to collect tiny bits of food from the water column. They're generally blue/grey once their shells are hardened, but they will be a reddish color right after molting. 3.5-4" $30
We've got some really nice OB peacock males in stock right now!! These guys would make great additions to an all male tank, or great breeders. They're all around 4-4.5" $60
Order online here ---> https://www.bluehookaquatics.com/product-page/ob-peacock
Buccochromis spectabilis - we've got a nice group of young adult breeders available. The males are blue with yellow fins. The females are generally silver. This is one of the bigger haps, topping out at 12"+ for males. We've got a group of 1M/4F, all around 4.5-5" $100 for the whole group.

Happy 4th of July to everyone!! Tomorrow on Friday July 5th, we will be doing 20% off all fish that are predominantly colored red, white, or blue!! That includes a large portion of our total selection, so get in tomorrow and pick up some awesome fish!! In store only, no holds!
We will be closing at 7 today, Wednesday July 3rd. Closed as usual tomorrow on Thursday, and open regular hours on Friday from 12-7.
.
Melanotaenia rubrostriata - this is a new rainbow for us, and they're a bit larger than we usually have! When fully colored up males have red all through out the body with a neon green/blue in the fins; quite an impressive looking fish! These are all around 3.5"+ $55/pair
Discus are back in stock!! We've got a somewhat limited supply, but a good variety of different colors and patterns. The blue diamonds are the biggest ones, about 5" across, those are $110. The others are all around 4-4.5", and are $90. Get yours while they're here!!
We will be closing early today, Wednesday June 19th, at 7pm. Please stop in before that for all your fishy needs!
Opthalmotilapia ventralis zongwe - this is one of the Tanganyikan sand sifting cichlids. Males will make large sand pits (assuming you have enough sand) to entice females into breeding. This more dominant male is almost fully colored up, but not quite. He would have more blue in the head, darker black in the body, and a little of the orange from the fins bleeding into his body. Quite the attractive fish!! The last picture is of a sub dominant male/female, and even they are quite nice! These are of breeding age, and both sexes are available. 3.5-4" females $29, males $59
Aequidens tetramerus - this is a somewhat rarer South American cichlid, and while it doesn't have the brightest of colors, it still has some nice highlights, and is a unique cichlid to keep. They get up to around 4-5" and can pack a decent punch for their smaller size. They should be fine kept with fish such as Geophagus, severums, etc. Also large, fast swimming dither fish will do well. 2.5-3"+ $15
Father's day specials - happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! Tomorrow on Sunday we will be having the following specials:
ALL Omega One food, buy 2 get 1 free (mix and match any items - dry and frozen)
ALL fish, buy any 3 of the same fish at regular price, get 1 free (buy 6 get 2 free, etc)

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
Rare Zebra Pikes destroying bloodworms! These guys are about 4" and growing quickly. Also eating Northfin bugpro, and some cichlid pellets. If you don't know what these look like when they're adults, you need to look it up!!! Gorgeous gold body, with red fins, and mouth/gill are, worth their Zebra stripes on the back half of the body. Only 5 available. $250/ea, or all 5 @ $200/ea #zebrapike #pikecichlid #southamericancichlids #centralamericancichlids #bigcichlids #cichlidsofinstagram #severum #aggressivecichlids #bluehookaquatics #freshwaterfish
Pictus catfish - if you're in need of a larger, active catfish, then these are the one for you. As you can see they are phenomenal bottom cleaners, and they continue to be active even after feeding time. This particular type can get up to 10-12", and they mix rather well with most semi aggressive to aggressive fish. They can be mixed with peaceful fish as long as they're big enough to not be considered food (we had these housed with 2" rainbows with no issues). 4-5"+ $27 #catfish #pictuscatfish #cichlids #cichlidsofinstagram #southamericancichlids #centralamericancichlids #communityfish #rainbowfish #bottomfeeder #cleanupcrew #freshwaterfish #aquariumhobby #bluehookaquatics
Hemichromis exsul - we've only got a limited supply of these left, but as you can see two have paired off and are "trying" to raise fry. An arduous task considering the other fish they're sharing the tank with. $42 for the pair. #hemichromisexsul #jewelfish #africancichlids #cichlids #cichlidsofinstagram #freshwaterfish #aquariumhobby #bluehookaquatics
We've added a large section to our saltwater tanks over the past month, and we have it fully stocked; so stop in and check out all the new fish! Here you can see our purple tang, harlequin tusk, blue spotted puffer, and the blue jaw trigger (he's being a little camera shy). #marinetank #saltwateraquarium #saltwaterfish #tangfish #pufferfish #triggerfish #harlequintusk #purpletang #bluejawtrigger #bluehookaquatics
Texas cichlid - we've got some nice sized Texas cichlids in stock. Here you can see two that have paired off, and would be breeding already if there weren't so many fish in this tank. These are 4.5-6"+ $37/ea #texascichlid #southamericancichlids #centralamericancichlids #bigcichlids #aggressivecichlids #aggressivefish #freshwaterfish #aquariumhobby #bluehookaquatics #plecostomus #catfish
Mpimbwe blue Frontosa - we have a nice sized group of these at the store, and as you can see they're looking great. As they get larger, they continue to get more and more blue on the fins and the body. These are already in the 3.75-4.25" range, $70 #frontosa #bluefrontosa #tanganyikancichlids #bigcichlids #hapcichlid #malawicichlids #africancichlids #synodontis #bluehookaquatics #fishkeeping
True parrot fish - these are the real deal, original parrot cichlid Hoplarchus psittacus. These are tank raised and currently in regular Cincinnati tap water. When they get larger they get a very nice green coloration to the body. They mix well with other large semi aggressive South/Central American cichlid; such as Geophagus, Severum, Acaras, etc. These are pushing 4"! $65 #trueparrotcichlid #southamericancichlids #centralamericancichlids #plecostomus #pleco #geophagus #severumcichlid #angelfish #freshwaterfish #rainbowfish #fishkeeping #bluehookaquatics
Parkinsoni rainbow - we have a nice sized group of this beautiful rainbow. These make a great addition to a planted tank, or any community tank that you'd like to get more activity into. All fish are 3"+ $42/pair, $48/trio. #rainbowfish #parkinsonirainbowfish #plantedtank #corydoras #communityfishtank #peacefulfish #angelfish #tetrafish #aquariumhobby #bluehookaquatics #geophagus #freshwaterfishtank #pleco
