Red Zebra Cichlid. The Red Zebra, although appearing more of a yellow color, is often a brilliant red in the wild. A bully by nature, without plenty of room, pyramids, rocks and crevasses to establish territory, Red Zebra will torment other tank mates.
Considered a specialized mouth brooder, they are easily bred while in the aquarium when given the proper tank set-up and excellent water conditions. A small group of 5 to 7 females and one male provide the best opportunity for breeding. Omnivorous, the Red Zebra will enjoy all manner of flaked foods, live foods, algae, lettuce, spinach, and duckweed in its diet. |

Electric Blue Cichlid.
The Electric Blue Cichlid, also called the Electric Blue Ahli, is a fairly typical member of the Cichlidae
family. The Electric Blue Cichlid does well with other cichlids when provided with a spacious, rocky tank of 70 gallons or more. The Electric Blue African Cichlid can and probably will be aggressive toward smaller fish.
Considered a specialized mouth brooder, they are easily bred while in the aquarium when given the proper tank set-up and excellent water conditions. This
species needs both meaty foods and greens such as brine shrimp, blood worms, small fish as well as a quality flake or pellet food containing vegetable matter. |

Clown Loach. The Clown Loach is a scaleless fish and a bottom-dweller that originates from the streams in Indonesia.
It is a peaceful fish that enjoys the company of its own species as well as other small and peaceful tank mates. It will school with others of the same age and size
and appreciates caves, holes, and other places to hide, especially when it sleeps. Because it originates from streams, it
likes currents in the aquarium. It enjoys eating small amounts of food several times a day. Prepared foods such as vegetable flakes or tablets along with meaty supplements such as live, frozen, or freeze-dried worms will provide this species with the proper nutrition. |

Gourami Crown Tail Male Betta. Also
known as the Siamese Fighting Fish, the Betta's brilliant coloration, and long flowing fins of the make it one of the most well known of aquarium fish. Colors range from red to blue to white. Females are not as highly colored, and have much shorter fins. Optimally the water for keeping healthy Bettas should be soft, warm, with a neutral to slightly acidic pH,
with water movement kept to a minimum. Bettas may be kept in a community tank as long as the water conditions are met, and if no aggressive or fin-nipping fish are present. However, only one male may be kept in each aquarium, unless they are separated by a barrier. |
Golden Nugget Plecostomus. A suckermouth catfish which was first captured and exported to Great Britain in 1981.
It is a shy bottom-dweller that appreciates plenty of driftwood in its environment. Unfortunately, the Gold Nugget's breeding habits have not been documented. Feeding the Gold Nugget Pleco is not difficult due to the fact that it is not a finicky eater. Feeding off the bottom of the tank, it gets most of its nutrition from left over food and algae. If no algae or left over food present, supplement with high quality flake food, sinking carnivore pellets, and freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex. |

Mono Argenuts. The Mono Argentus, also known as
the Mono or Fingerfish, is diamond-shaped, silver in color, and has two black stripes on the front half of
its body. The dorsal fin has a yellow tint with a black outline.
This species grows very large and requires an aquarium of at least 50 gallons.
As these fish grow and mature, the water should gradually be converted to a higher salinity. A substrate consisting of aragonite sand or gravel is preferred
with plants and rocks that thrive in brackish water.
Gradual change from brackish to saltwater will maximize
the coloration and health of the fish as they become
older. Provide this fish with dried seaweed, lettuce, brine shrimp, and a quality flake food. |

Discus has a mottled blue appearance against a red background

when compared to the temperament of other African
Cichlids, the Electric Yellow is considered semi-aggressive in a standard fresh water aquarium. The aquarium should include a sandy bottom, robust plants, caves, and rocks. This
species needs both meaty foods and greens such as brine shrimp, blood worms, and quality flake or pellet food containing vegetable matter. |

described as the jewel of the aquarium hobby. With
their iridescent blue bodies and bright red tails, the
neon tetra creates an exciting splash of color in any
aquarium, especially when kept in schools of six or
more. To best recreate its natural habitat, place
rocks and driftwood amongst the plants for added areas
of refuge. Neon Tetras will accept many small
foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia, freeze-dried
bloodworms and tubifex, micro pellet food, and a high
quality flake food. |
Glowlight Tetra. The Glowlight Tetra
glows like a lamp when lighting conditions are just
right. The colorful, neon red/orange stripe shows
up best when the aquarium lights are dimmed. For
maximum visual effect keep Glowlight Tetras in groups.
Glowlight Tetras add beauty to a planted aquarium; the
plants, in turn, will provide hiding places for the
fish. Rocks and driftwood also help to mirror its
natural habitat. Glowlight Tetras will accept many
small foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia,
freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, micro pellet food,
and a high quality flake food. |
