The common otocinclus is one of the best algae eaters for aquariums. They don't get very big, around 1.5" with some large individuals up to 2". We recommend keeping a minimum of 3, with 6+ being ideal. The internet often suggests these are finicky and picky eaters and will starve without algae. We do not experience this problem. Any quality algae sinking food will make these guys happy after they have cleaned your tank! Send us a message today if you would like to add some to your tank! Shipping to all 50 US States and Puerto Rico.

ALL GONE ALREADY - SORRY. Supplier sent halfmoon male bettas instead of females. We typically don't sell any males due to the labor involved and setup. If you would like one, two or a handful - pay shipping and we can get them sent out to you. Lots of green, blue, red, very few higher end colors.

Rainbow shiners, a US Native. Simply gorgeous in spawning colors. We have a few captive bred specimens left in stock.

We are now importing directly, as well as working with several wholesalers here in the states. If you need a specific species, let us know! If you need a large quantity of a particular fish let us know! We can help make that large school of fish in your dream tank an affordable reality!

A common misconception with otocinclus is you always need algae in your aquarium or they will starve to death. This is just one group of otos in this tank devouring an algae wafer. Nice fat bellies and no algae exists in this tank.

!!!!!WARNING!!!

I don't typically like to post up bad dealings or drama. However, fair warning to other fish sellers and our wonderful customers. In January 2021 Mr. Jamien Jorif/Jam Carter of Baldwin New York purchased a large order of fish from us. "aquarium_fish_paradise1 on ebay". We were never contacted with any issues with the order but Mr. Jorif felt the need to issue a charge back with his credit card company. We reached out to Mr. Jorif several times with no response. Mr. Jorif now has fish listed that could have potentially came from us for sale. To add to, Jamien Jorif then purchased from us again when questioned but seemed to have no idea about the prior dealings. This confirmed that our attempts to contact the Jorif's were going through and just being ignored. We would not recommend dealing with this "company".

For a limited time, when you purchase direct cardinal tetras $1.5/ea and green neons $1/ea. Find me a better deal and we will match it! :)

We have so far managed to stay on top of the heat pack shortage here in the US. Unfortunately our shipment of new heat packs isn't here yet but is scheduled to be delivered later today. This will push a few orders to be shipped tomorrow. Thank you for your patience! :)

Large blue gularis killifish pairs in stock now... Much better looking than any photos I could take. But I guess we all know I can't take fish photos worth a dang 😂

Haven't had these in awhile. "Blonde" african dwarf frogs, about three shades lighter than a normal ADF. This batch is pretty small, but we're fattening them up on black worms.
