The Arrowhead Puffer (Pao suvattii) is a striking freshwater species native to the Mekong River system. Recognized for its bold, arrow-shaped patterning, this puffer is best maintained in a species-only aquarium designed around its natural behavior. Soft sand substrate and smooth river stones allow it to bury itself comfortably, mimicking the riverbeds it inhabits in the wild. An ambush predator by nature, P. suvattii will often conceal itself beneath the sand, patiently waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by.

Recently described in 2024, Beaufortia granulopinna are from the upper Pearl River system of southwest China. Its species name “granulopinna,” meaning grain fin, highlights the unique tubercles scattered along its 6–9 pectoral fin rays. Unlike other members of the group, this species shows a distinctive lack of clear vertical striping along the midsection, giving it a softer, blurred pattern that sets it apart at a glance.

The Fire Eel 🔥🐍✨ (Mastacembelus erythrotaenia) stands out as one of the largest spiny eels, reaching up to 3 feet as adults. Despite their size, they’re gentle, inquisitive fish that become surprisingly personable once they settle in. With soft substrate, plenty of hides, and a secure lid, these eels often grow comfortable enough to greet you at feeding time and interact with their keepers. We have 1 available at the store!

Looking for a little sparkle in your tank? Diamond Tetras (Moenkhausia pittieri) are a dazzling choice to bring life to a tank. These peaceful schooling fish light up the tank with their reflective, diamond like scales and striking purple fins. In groups of 6 or more, their synchronized movements and playful interactions make them an absolute joy to watch. Their boisterous personalities can even help bring out the confidence in shy tank mates as well!

Don’t get their kissing behavior mixed up with love😘. The Pink Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii) locks lips to establish dominance, not affection. Their peaceful look can be deceiving as they can reach up to 10 inches in an aquarium, making them one of the larger gourami species and better suited for spacious aquariums. In community setups, it’s important to keep an eye on their interactions and make sure their sparring doesn’t turn into real aggression toward tank mates.

This is not one of those AI generated fish that going around right now. The Dolphin Mormyrid (Mormyrus kannume)🐬 is a real fish that is found in the Nile system of Africa. These nocturnal fish process electric organs that are used to navigate murky waters, detect prey, and communicate with other members of their species. Their distinctive trunk like snouts give them an almost otherworldly appearance, perfectly suited for probing the riverbed in search of food.
