Bornean Redeye Pufferfish
Carinotetraodon borneensis
Size: 2”

Tank size: 20G/Individual
Country of origin: Malaysian Borneo
Diet: Live and frozen foods. It is imperative that you provide some sort of hard food
Temperament: Nippy, though can be kept with certain fast-moving fish
Temperature: 70-80° F
Description
Opening month four is Carinotetraodon borneensis, an insanely rare dwarf pufferfish native exclusively to certain areas of Borneo which are under Malaysian rule. Though Carinotetraodon irrubesco and Carinotetraodon lorteti, other redeye puffers of the same genus are semi-regularly available, Carinotetraodon borneensis can be nearly impossible to get your hands on.

Japanese Barramundi
Lates japonicus
Size: 4’
pH: 7.0-8.0
Tank size: 800G/Individual
Country of origin: Japan
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Aggressive, may tolerate similarly-sized fish
Temperature: 75-80° F
sg: 1.000-1.025
Description
Lates japonicus is essentially the Japanese version of Lates calcarifer, the rarely traded, though still occasionally available Indo-Pacific fish known most commonly as the barramundi. These fish reach immense sizes, and are only appropriate for the largest of home aquariums. By all means a “tankbuster.”

Australian Lungfish
Neoceratodus forsteri
Size: 4’
pH: 6.5-8.0
Tank size: 550G/Individual
Country of origin: Australia
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Aggressive
Temperature: 70-80° F
Description
Neoceratodus forsteri is a very large, prehistoric fish, whose family has been around for millions and millions of years. However, this fish is the only remaining species of its family-- and one of only six remaining lungfish species, of which there were possibly once hundreds. Though some report that these fish can successfully be kept in a monster community, they still have a bad temper and a strong bite. Other than that, they are very hardy and easy to feed. This is the only lungfish that cannot survive in completely dry conditions for long.

American Eel
Anguilla rostrata

Tank size: 125G/Individual
Country of origin: United States, Canada
Diet: Live and frozen foods
Temperament: VERY predatory, though relatively peaceful
Temperature: 60-70° F
sg: 1.000-1.015
Description
Anguilla rostrata is a true North American eel found in freshwater, brackish, and marine conditions throughout the United States, and parts of Canada. Though they travel to the sea to spawn, and spend much of their early development in saltwater, adults are most commonly found in freshwater conditions, and quite often brackish. Full strength marine is by no means recommended for this species. Serves as an important food fish.
