So many cool fish here that's is difficult to highlight them all - as in the abbreviated title of this thread!

I remember the first time I saw albino oscars about 25? years ago. Now we have the first US import of albino red pacu. Crazy stuff.

Giant Mekong stingray?! Yes, you've read that correctly. I know there are some serious monster fish keepers out there with monster tanks to keep this baby. She may very well sell to a public aquaria/zoo, but I wanted to share this with you. I have only one and she's doing very well.

This is a photo of a friend's Indian Bagarius yarelli. He's taken a far better photo than I have the patience or equipment to equal. I have the same fish here now. Talk about sinister looking, yet dangerously appealing! These are some true collector fish indeed.

It's been a long absence from the trade, but the 'super red severum' are back in stock right now. What a gorgeous, mellow, and easy to keep fish!

Here are a few less common, quite attractive bichirs of really great size.

The goliath 'GATF' and vittatus 'VATF' are both on hand again for those of you who want to see movement, bling, and teeth in their tanks.

'Casper cool', ghostly albino clown knifes are on hand once again.

The 'leopard frog pleco', L134, has recently been described as Peckoltia compta.
Tank bred juveniles of these amazing looking, 'excellent breeding project plecos' are on hand now.

A pair of Pychidio jordani are here. Talk about super rare and totally unique looking?!

jordani1.jpg jordani2.jpg


Here is another very rarely encountered Asia cyprinid - Probarbus labeamajor!
I have only photos of the juveniles on hand, but there are some adult pics on net if you want to search.
These are very sharp looking, peaceful, large growing and attractively striped barbs that actively sift through the substrate and are always in motion.

Here's another very attractive Asian cyprinid that can be kept in md-lg communities while providing a great amount of movement to your tank.

The md-lg salvini I imported are in super shape and of extraordinary color.

Who can say the tropical species have one over the temperate species when there are beautiful N. AM. sunfish like the long eared sunnies available?
These are captive bred stock - bred and raised in tropical conditions.

megalot.jpg


I took pics of a couple species that were not from the most recent import, but certainly worthy of sharing (not because of my crappy photos that is, but rather because the fish are very sharp looking-and for sale).

There are so many more very cool species on hand. Please always feel free to check out the current stock posted on the stock list of my web page.
All species, sizes, and prices of each fish on hand are listed there for review 24/7.

I will paste and copy a current stock list below as well.
Enjoy!
