RARE
Hemiancistrus medianus
first time in the US, eyes like frog, color like

Triplophys siluroides
- giant Tibetan loach, can reach 30" in the wild, I've seen myself.
well started, need cooler water, no guarantees on how successful you will be at keeping. They are like a freshwater leopard shark, and will chase down feeders. 7" $250.00 each 10" $350.00 each

Rare

Leptobotia elongata - the imperial flower loach. This is different than the royal loach of the books. People always had the L. pelligrini and elongata mixed and called the same. $125.00 each. In the wild they can grow up to 36" !!! I've seen pictures of some 30" monsters!!!!

RARE
Luciobarbus brachycephalus Albino - Snake like barb, with mouth like catfish - originally from Kasakhstan. First time in the USA. They are eating cut shrimp and pellets already, seem to be pretty easy to keep. 5" $175.00 each only a few pieces, I would say pretty rare.

Macrobrachium gracilirostre - the purple striped freshwater shrimp, max size around 4". not safe with smaller fish, but its absolutely wonderfully patterned and colored. these are babies at 1" or so. $35.00 each

Slightly brackish stuff goes up and down the river. Depending on the tide, the water will be completely fresh, or completely salt and the fish will travel up and down and in between all these areas. We've caught snooks, tarpons about 50 miles up river just so you know. We keep them at specific gravity measured between 1.001-1.004, varying depending on how much water I change and remove, but I don't measure it on regular basis.

Takifugu occelatus - Fugu aka the Japanese deadly sashimi dish. There are over a dozen of species in this genus. This being one of the smaller ones, but with the most striking color. Its fluorescent green with neon orange on the back, like no other fish out there. Definitely under appreciated. I had one painted on my store window before, and also my screen name is "fugupuff". Yes, this is where it all starts, back to the beginning. 4" size, eating cut shrimp, not expensive at all $35.00 each

They can reach about 12" max, will hide under the sand when frightened. Will eat and kill any crustaceans.


Chaetodipterus faber - Atlantic spadefish, caught in brackish marsh. quarter sized, eating brineshrimp, cut shrimp, etc... only one piece $75.00

Centropomus undecimalis
3" $75.00

Colomesus psittacus - this is the first time documented in US hobby that this has been imported. Here is some basic info on it. it can reach 12" plus., pretty aggressive when hungry, otherwise not too bad. Most pictures you see online are that of asselus, the small amazon puffer, never this. Like all puffers they're very tolerant of a wide salinity range and fluctuation. They will readily eat cut shrimp. 5" $125.00 each limited quantity
Lutjanus argentimaculatus 4" $75.00 each
found in pure freshwater in Australia man made lakes

Caranx sexfaciatus
5" $75.00
7" $150.00 each

Caranx ignobilis 8" $150.00
giant trevally "GT" they will crash the water when feeding like boiling tunas! Imagine a school in a big tank!

Google up Lake Taal - in Phillipines, there are land locked populations of the above 2 fish

Epinephalus lanceolatus captive bred babies- born and bred in brackish water.
These are the Queensland giant groupers, they can reach about 10 feet in the wild!!
7" eating anything in sight. $95.00 each

The following gobies make an amazing small planted tank, stream like conditions, they will climb out of water to go and graze on rocks. their colors are like neon lights. Absolutely amazing, google for pictures and videos.

Sicyopus zosterophorum - $30.00 per pair
Sicyopterus macrostetholepis $10.00 each

Google for some pictures and do some research online. Of course some fish are rare enough that there isn't much info on them. Also if I misspelled the name, you would have a harder time finding them as well.

All the fish are first come first serve. Shipping for most is fedex overnight to your door, aircargo available for shipments over $500.00. Both will run about $55.00 to $75.00 for most. Live arrival guaranteed. Please read disclaimer and store policy prior to ordering.
