Ultra rare
Mastacembelus brichardi 4" size, from the depths of Congo, these are pink with regressed eyes. very rare, basically a "cave dwelling" equivalent of a Spiny eel from Africa. I have 2 that I've kept for the past 6 years and still doing great, easy to keep. max size around 8" or so I'm guessing. I have a handful available total! $150.00 each
Albino Sinibotia reevesae - wild 2.5" from China, only one piece. There were 3 pieces, 1 went to Singapore, one went to Japan. $150.00
Albino Propterus aethiopicus 10" size. wild fish. perfect fins. These are the giants that can grow to 5 feet plus., imagine a 5 foot puppy that is pink with red eyes! These are not captive bred fish that will become super common. $450.00 each. Only a few come out each year, and these are perfect ones.
Luciobarbus brachycephalus 6" These barbs can reach about 24", Originally come from Kazakhstan. $150.00 each These are captive bred, but in the far north of China, so very few suppliers are able to obtain them. They are super easy to keep and undemanding, will eat pellets to cut fish. and do not bother other fish. Limited quantity on these
Hypostomus- Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps albino red eye ,great tank cleaner, they use in all Asian ray and arowana tanks 4" $35.00 each

Chitala ornata albino - 5" eating cut fish. captive bred fish, but very impressive when large. These are not the brown ones you see in pet stores. These have red eyes and pink body, and will sport the nice round spots on the side. $55.00 each.
Hypostomus luteus - not albino, but nature's wonder with solid yellow bright pleco that grows to 20". These fish range from 13-16". also their colors only go one way, turn more yellow, I have not heard of any turning back to more black.

Tor putitora 3-4" $125.00 each The giant masheers of the Himalayan foothill, that can reach 4 feet with bright yellow fins and golden scales that rival that of an Asian arowana.
Hydrocynus cf. tanzaniae big eye tiger that gets imported with goliath, but they're not goliath, and not vittatus. My guess is these are actually a cryptic species that is not described yet. 3.5-4" size, eating cut fish $125.00 each
Hydrocynus goliath. 4" $125.00 each. These are the largest growing tiger fish, needs no further description., the largest predator patrolling the Congo River.

They will eat snails and shrimp though. I currently have a group that I keep together and there are some other fish in there with no issues.
Tetradon schoutedni - this was an enigmatic puffer, missing for over 25 years in the hobby, until they resurfaced about 2 years ago with some regularity. Last year one was actually stolen from a pet shop due to the rarity. In all the books from the 90's, the brackish puffer tetradon nigroviridis was always pictured as schoutedni. They are currently kept together with rare nipping here and there. and this one guy in Germany actually have them paired off and breeding! These will not last
