not confuse these with the Dwarf African "Clawed" Frogs, as
they are much larger and could eat these little fellas. These little
mini-frogs will require a well-planted aquarium so they can hide in the
plants. Nearly all of their time is spent underwater but they will
come up the catch a breath of air. They are as simple to keep as
owning a goldfish so they are ideal for the beginning aquarist!
These frogs can live about 10 years on average, and are a joy to watch.
We have heard allot of reports of people having their frogs from 18 up
to 30 years! Keep them with peaceful fish, and yes, they will
be fine with bettas. It is hard to sex them, but usually the females
are larger than the males.

found at Fish Foods
The Tonguefish pictured here is a freshwater
member of a family that occurs worldwide. Most species live in the ocean
but a few smaller ones live in fresh or brackish water. These are an
interesting species that will do quite well in an aquarium if given the
correct environment. Our Flounder are very healthy and will be
very easy for you to care for and enjoy for a long time to come.
Since they are carnivores, the Flounder will
eat all types of protein foods. They should be fed a diet of live or
fresh frozen foods such as brine shrimp, and bloodworms. They are not
aggressive feeders so food may have to be poured directly on top of them
to make sure they get enough to eat. They will also eat tiny fish so
make sure any tank mates are too large to be able to fit into their
mouths.
The Tonguefish is sometimes found in the
mouths of rivers where they dump into the ocean so they will do well in
either fresh or brackish water tanks. They spend virtually all of their
time on the bottom so special care needs to be given to where they live.
To feel secure, they should be able to bury themselves which means that
very fine gravel or sand is the substrate of choice. It is not unusual
to see only a pair of eyes poking up through the gravel. This fish
will generally stay small in your aquarium, ours do not usually get
bigger than the size of a silver dollar, and our pools are very huge, so
in a smaller aquarium, they will stay small.
SHIPS PERFECT! Size at shipping: just bigger than a Quarter

A tough
killie
you don't see very often that's ideal for your community tank! Extremely
peaceful and not a nuisance at all. They will co-exist fine
with small shrimp we sell here. Light blues, red spots and pale
yellow colors are mixed up in this beautiful fish. Some colors are
just unbelievable! Females not as colorful. This is an egglaying,
top swimmer that prefers a planted aquarium, but will live well in a tight
space such as a small bowl without aeration as it will breath in air,
similar to the popular betta/siamese fighting fish! These killies
like acid water so a black water extract should
be used. Ideal
tank mates include: Shrimp, SAE's, Tetras, Rasboras, Danios, Dwarf Gouramis,
Discus, Angels, Rainbowfish, other Livebearers, Plecos, and small Scavenger
Catfish.
Typically sold for over $10 to $20 per pair, we are selling these for
a very affordable price!

Size:

This is a
dwarf Mosquito fish that very popular for stocking in ponds to eat mosquito
larvae.
 The
Heterandria is now becoming the fish of choice mainly due to the fact
that they don't eat the eggs of other fishes, which is a concern for the
survival of North America's Native fishes that are becoming endangered. Like
Mosquito fish, Heterandria also eat large amounts of mosquito and other
larvae, but are not as prolific breeders, and they also can live in smaller
amounts of water with greater chances of survival. These very hardy, slow
live-bearing, community fish need a well planted aquarium or pond for best
results. Best to purchase this fish in no less than a dozen as they thrive and
breed better as a school.

a densely planted aquarium with allot of plants that have hanging
roots and also African driftwood. Known as a "climbing fish"
as they are patient predators and will hide in the plants awaiting
for a meal to pass them by. This fish will do fine with tank mates of
the same size or larger. Leopard fish love soft water, that is
slightly acidic, and warm (refer to above guidelines). These
are a very slow-moving fish that will hang out in all areas of your
aquarium and will live best when in small schools.

rice fish is a member of the killifish family first described in
1846 and has been widely used as a aquarium fish.
They
are a very small popular aquarium fish native to
Southeast Asia. It is approximately 4 cm long.
Its coloration varies, from brown or yellow-gold
in the wild to white, creamy yellow, or orange
in aquarium-bred individuals. The medaka has
been a popular pet since the 17th century in
Japan. It is amphidromous, meaning it moves
between salt and freshwater at some point in its
life. With that said, ihey may be kept in
Brackish or Freshwater environments. It is found
in both ocean and river habitats. The medaka is
a common denizen of rice paddies in coastal
Asia. The female carries her eggs attached
between her anal fins.
latipes has gone into space aboard the space
shuttle. It carries the distinction of having
been the first vertebrate to mate in orbit. The
result of the mating was a brood of healthy fry,
hatched on the space shuttle Columbia in
1994.
This
fish is ideal for using as a mosquito or other
larvae janitor. Keep them in large schools
for best reults.

 Ranchu
Goldfish Calico Variety
aka: Buffalo Head Goldfish
Size: up tp 8" in aquarium pH: 6.5 - 7.5 Temp:

Origin: Japan
Chemicals: Goldfish Essential
found at Aquarium Chemicals
Food: New Life Spectrum
"Surface Feeder Formula" and Medium Koi Pellet found at
Fish Foods
The
mighty Ranchu, "King" of the
goldfish of Japan!
The Ranchu has a short, round body and short fins with no dorsal fin.
The Ranchu Goldfish
resembles the Lionhead Goldfish, but the posterior dorsal contour is
much more curved on the Ranchu Goldfish. One other distinguishing
feature that separates the Ranchu Goldfish from the Lionhead Goldfish is
the tail, which is splayed sideways with lower lobes sometimes being
located nearly horizontal on the Ranchu Goldfish. The Lionhead Goldfish
on the other hand, has a tail similar to the Fantail Goldfish.
The Ranchu Goldfish was created during the Meiji Period (1870-1885). The
history of the Ranchu Goldfish begins in China, but it was in Japan that
the breed was really developed and perfected. There is no official
standard for Ranchu Goldfish in Japan, but there are established norms
that most breeders follow. They must have a good balance between the
head, body and tail and a Ranchu Goldfish should always be able to swim
around in a graceful and potent manner. The size of the Ranchu Goldfish
is not important in shows; it is the proportions that are central when
judging this fish.
The whole body and tail of the Ranchu Goldfish can be deeply red or have
a reddish yellow-orange shade. There are also Ranchu Goldfishes that
sports a red and white color combination, or a combination of white and
reddish yellow-orange. Some Ranchu Goldfish have red scales with a white
edge, while other individuals are completely white. There is also the
calico coloration, which seems to be favored over self-colored fish,
this is what we sell.
In Japan, a Calico Ranchu
Goldfish is called Edonishiki. You can house your Ranchu Goldfish in a
pond or in an
aquarium, as long as
you provide it with enough space. Just like the other goldfish variants,
the Ranchu Goldfish produces quite a lot of waste products and a small
aquarium will soon suffer from poor
water
quality
even with strong filtering. Too little space
will also hamper the development of your Ranchu Goldfish and you will
never see it reach its full potential. It will eat almost anything you
feed it, and you should provide your Ranchu Goldfish with a varied diet
to ensure that it gets all necessary nutrients. Flake food and pellets
can be combined with fresh or frozen life foods. Also include vegetables
in the diet, such as cucumber, lettuce and zucchini. Remember that all
goldfish types are cold blooded, so the metabolism of your Ranchu
Goldfish will depend on the water temperature. You must therefore adjust
the amount of food according to seasonal temperature variations.
Japan has huge goldfish Ranchu
competitions. The ranchus are shown in shallow bowls and judged from
the top, unlike the Chinese goldfish breeders who judge their
goldfish Ranchu from the side. Ranchu breeders come from all over
the country with to compete for the title of Champion Goldfish
Ranchu Breeder. The Edo Nishiki is a calico Ranchu first produced in
Tokyo in 1951 by crossing a Ranchu with an Azuma Nishiki.
If you are looking for a
great goldfish to collect, the "Goldfish King of Japan" is for you.

Origin: Streams and Rivers of the African Congo Basin
Chemicals:

Food:
Live foods like worms and shrimp, some frozen foods and New Life Spectrum
"Community Formula" and "Finicky Formula" found at
Fish Foods
The Senegal
Bichir is a member of the Polypteridae, or Lobe-Finned Pike family.
As with other members of the primitive Polypteridae family, this
fish has the ability to survive out of water because it has a lung-like
paired swim bladder and gills to help it breath. It can spend short
periods of time on land, but must return quickly back to its water to
respirate.
This fish
will do best in a large "oddball" aquarium with other large,
passive fish. It is not usually aggressive toward tank mates as
long as there are plenty of places for this fish to hide, like rocks,
caves, and crevices. We keep this fish in a pool with some small
plecos, puffers, and snails and seem to be a very sweet and active fish
that always come and "visit" us when we are close. Would
be good for most any community tanks. Sometimes seem to disappear
for a couple days then comes out and is very active toward the front of
the glass.
Size at shipping: about 3 - 4"+. Ships Perfect, VERY HARDY!

These are named "Silver Dollar"
because their body shape is almost round and is very compressed laterally.
Generally they are a silver color with slight green and blue tints in the right
light. There are also hints of red, especially the anal fin of the male which is
edged in red. In some habitats they will have small dots on their sides.
The peaceful Silver Dollar is a
great choice fish for many aquarists who want a community aquarium with good
sized inhabitants. The Silver Dollar, though very peaceful, gets rather large
and needs a good sized aquarium. They are a lively fish and like to hang out in
schools, so get several! You may have good results if you decide to breed
them. We are selling you our own healthy hand-reared stock.
These fish are happiest in a large
shallow aquarium with peat filtered water, dark
gravel, and lots of plants and hiding places. The Silver Dollar does like to eat
plants! So get plants that are not so tasty like Java Ferns, Anubias, and
Hornwort. .
