Albino Bronze Corydoras are a popular and colorful species of freshwater fish that are often kept in home aquariums. These fish are a member of the catfish family, and are known for their peaceful temperament and social nature, making them a great choice for community tanks.
Albino Bronze Corydoras are a relatively small fish, typically growing to be around 2.5 inches in length. They have a distinctive bronze coloration with a white underbelly and red eyes, which is why they are called "albino." The bronze coloration can vary in intensity from fish to fish, with some appearing more metallic than others.
In addition to their striking appearance, Albino Bronze Corydoras are also known for their hardiness and adaptability. They are able to tolerate a wide range of water conditions, making them a great choice for beginner aquarists. They prefer soft, acidic water with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0, and a temperature between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
Albino Bronze Corydoras are also bottom-dwellers, meaning they spend most of their time foraging on the substrate for food. They are omnivores, and will eat a variety of foods including sinking pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp.
These fish are social creatures and prefer to be kept in groups of at least six or more. They are known for their playful behavior, often seen darting around the tank and exploring their surroundings. Providing plenty of hiding places and plants in the aquarium will allow them to feel secure and comfortable.
Albino Bronze Corydoras are easy to breed in captivity, and can often be induced to spawn with a water temperature increase and frequent water changes. They are egg-layers, and will lay their eggs on plants or other surfaces in the aquarium. The eggs will hatch in 2-3 days, and the fry will be free-swimming within a few days after that.
In conclusion, Albino Bronze Corydoras are a beautiful, hardy, and social species of freshwater fish that make a great addition to any home aquarium. Their playful behavior, adaptability, and ease of care make them a great choice for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. Whether you are looking to start a new community tank or add to an existing one, Albino Bronze Corydoras are definitely worth considering.
These Asssorted Angelfish are a variety of Pterophyllum scalare, which originated from the Amazon Basin, Orinoco Basin and various rivers in the Guiana Shield in tropical South America and are thus freshwater fish. Angelfish distinguish themselves from other cichlids in that they are strong laterally compressed, yet have a round body and elongated triangular dorsal and anal fins. These elegant yet strikingly shaped fish are popular with both beginner and experienced aquarists alike, and are a joy to observe.
When buying Angels for breeding purposes, it is recommended to buy a group of 6 and let them pair off naturally. Once a pair is formed you want to move them to a breeding tank.

Banana Lily Nymphoides Aquatica – An Atypical Aquarium Plant for Beginners
Nymphoides Aquatica is a lovely aquatic plant that can be used in any pond or planted aquarium. It natively grows along the southeastern United States from Texas to Maryland and has been known various names such as Banana Lily due to its banana-shaped roots.
Banana Lily Factsheet
Scientific Name: Nymphoides Aquatica
Native To South/Southeastern United States
Skill Level: Easy
Placement: Foreground - Midground
CO2 Requirements: none
Warning: Banana plants do best if rested on top of the substrate or buried to about 1/4 inch so the plant can send roots down into the substrate. If buried too deeply, the plant may rot and eventually die.
Also Snails and plecos are known to eat banana plants!
How To Plant Your Banana Plant
Introducing a new banana lily to your aquarium is very easy. First, make sure that you have at least two inches of substrate in the tank, such as gravel or sand, and select an area with good lighting conditions and gentle water flow.
To keep your plant in place, make sure to rest the plant's tubers on top of the substrate gently. You can also bury them a quarter-inch into the ground if you want it firmly rooted there immediately.
Don't worry if none of these methods work for whatever reason, and they still refuse to stay put!
They will eventually send down long roots that attach themselves with help from gravity, so this is just something temporary until then - patience is critical when dealing with these plants!
At up to 15cm tall, this species can be used for foreground plants, midground planting, or even as background plants for small tanks like 20 litre nano tanks.
How To Care For a Banana Lily
Banana lilies have a moderate growth rate, and they won't get out of control, making them perfect for beginners and those with limited space. They prefer temperatures between 20 to 28°C and can survive in low-light conditions. (The more light you give it, the faster it'll grow.)
These easygoing fellows don't even require CO2. They are hardy little plants! If you want your banana lily to thrive over time, though, be sure to provide an all-in-one liquid fertiliser every three or four months.
Not only will this keep their roots healthy but also stimulate cell division within shorter periods so new leaves form much quicker too.
At first, the long shoots will grow toward the surface of your tank and start shooting up heart-shaped leaves, which look like lily pads in some cases with small white five petalled flowers.
These plants are great for helping filter out excess nutrients from your water while adding an aesthetic beauty that most other aquatic plants can't offer. Just be careful not to let these floating leaves block all of the light from reaching other plants as well - make sure you prune them if needed.
There are many ways that the banana lily may perish after planting. One of these possibilities is if its tubers melt away and disappear.
There have been a few theories as to why this happens, but no solid explanation. Perhaps the plant doesn't need the lily anymore because it's getting enough nutrients from the roots.
Even when plants start looking unhealthy, they can still grow strong with time.
How To Grow More Banana Plants
Have you ever wondered how to grow banana plants? It's easy! Cut off one of the leaves and let it float around in your tank. Eventually, new roots will appear with some small leaves, which can then be planted back into the substrate.
Since banana is in the name, is the Banana Lily at all edible?
Banana lily has no known direct food value to wildlife. However, even though it can't be consumed by animals directly, submerged portions of all aquatic plants provide habitats for many micro and macro invertebrates, which are used as food for the animal world.
Inevitably when these plants die, their decomposition provides much-needed sustenance that feeds a variety of other underwater denizens.
In the home aquarium, the Banana Lily is purely for aesthetics, water quality, and somewhere for smaller fish and shrimp to hide.
Variations of Delivery
Usually what you get on this picture is what you will receive.
Sometimes however you will be getting a leaf. If you do the banana lily will sprout at the base of the leaf

Caridina sp NTnilotica - also called ""Darwin Algae Shrimp" or "algae eater shrimp"- is a freshwater species of doube periophthalmate shrimps belonging to the Atyidae family. It was named after P. Roux's research in 1833 and it has its natural habitat over Africa - between the Nile River in Egypt to Lake Sibaya in South Africa and only can be found in Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile River; on other hand according to some sources, this shrimp's homeland is northern Australia, as a significant part of resources on this species belongs there too.
There is no doubt the Darwin Algae Shrimp are often confused with Caridina Longistiris. But they differ from each other in many ways. One of their most distinctive features is that it has a white stripe extending from its head to its tail, depending on what time of day or whether it's eating something
The males are smaller and less colourful, while the females are larger and more colourful. These shrimps can reach 4-5 cm in length.
Water Parameters:
pH: 6.5-8
Hardness: soft to hard
Temperature: 18-28C
Type: Freshwater
Darwin algae shrimps prefer to live in aquariums that have high-quality clear water. Unlike snails, they can't tolerate pH levels much either and should be kept in soft or medium hardness environments. However, sudden changes to the temperature of the water will harm them too so it's best to use a heater and thermostat for stability.
Darwin algae shrimps are peaceful and will do well with tank mates that are close to its size. It is not able to live in harmony with fish that show territorial protection or large sizes. This can be a problem, as Darwin algae shrimps have been observed being eaten due to their small size from time-to-time. Aggressive and larger fish can always pose a threat, so it may get along better living tanks mates who also have calm behaviour like itself
The Caridina sp. Ntnilotica is a shrimp that's generally active in its behavior. This brave shrimp can compete with smaller fish over food and it also has the potential to be hardy if you set up the aquarium properly. If this shrimps movement slows down for just a brief moment, do not worry, as they are cautious around their tankmates so there is no need to panic when this happens! However, if this slowness continues for longer periods of time then it may be due to various diseases that have occured in your shrimp or its habitat…
The Darwin Algae Shrimp do not harm aquatic plants, and they mostly live in harmony with them. They are typically preferred to be kept in planted aquariums.
Feeding
Darwin Algae Shrimp species is a good algae eater. However, their natural feeding areas are the rocky areas densely covered in moss and algae populations. To keep them healthy, it's best to provide an adequate amount of algae or establish one in your tank by exposing rocks or other decorations to high light and moving them into your shrimp tank. If you don't have any on hand - they can be fed dry food occasionally. In addition, if there are microorganisms present that are substantial enough - they will eat those too! But first choice will always be the algae available for consumption.
Breeding
Little information is available about the reproduction of Darwin Algae Shrimp. There are some observations in Australia for mating time. For instance, before mating, female molts and is surrounded by males during this molting period. After mating the female carries gray eggs that she incubates until they hatch into juvenile shrimp who resemble their parents and then move to a freshwater environment when they grow up in natural conditions (in captivity juveniles must be manually taken from half-strength saltwater over to freshwater). But it's important to provide proper food sources like plankton or otherwise juvenile shrimps will not survive as well
Do we have the real deal?
A lot of sellers online normally sell Glass Shrimps (Paratya australiensis) and it is very easy to make this mistake as well. In order to resolve the species that we have in stock we have unknowingly done the following:
We accidentally sent invertebrates to a customer in Western Australia and it had been ceased by WA Quarantine as Inverts are not allowed in WA. Due to this the package was ceased and awaiting euthanisation. However while waiting for euthanisation the Quarantine Officer decided to put this up for testing. The initial test discovered that this was classified as Paratya australiensis. However later in the day it was pointed that it was a human error where the pheonotype that was used was Paratya australiensis in the WA Quarantine Database. This has been subsequently resolved and the correct name has been established for this species which is Caridina longisrostris.
Due to this knowledge and by direct confirmation from Quarantine WA (July 2020). NTA is confident that we sell Caridina longisrostris and not Paratya australiensis.
When you purchase from NTA be assured that you will be getting the real shrimps that has been sustainably harvested by a licensed collector from Far North Queensland.
What is it good for?
Caridina longisrostris is useless on algae that is stuck on the glass or on rocks that has a smooth texture. They will not touch these kinds of algae and it is better that you use Otocinclus for this.
What Caridina longisrostris is good for is Black Beard Algae BBA or Green Algae. They will also eat dead or decaying leaves.
If there are none of the above they will eat the biofilm in the tank.
ONLY if there is nothing left they will eat live plants. However this is very unlikely to occur.
Also, another component that we have observed is that these shrimps will eat left over fish food and also will cannibalise if one of the shrimps is weak or there is a failed molt. They will also attack dead fish.
Is it right for you?
If you enjoy efficient algae cleaning machine this shrimp is for you. When you buy 6 or more it is safe to put it in a Betta tank as well.

Synodontis Petricola: The most peaceful freshwater fish
Overview:
Synodontis petricola is a catfish which grows up to 4 inches long. The species can be found in Lake Tanganyika, and it’s rare amongst aquarists because of how hard they are to find! This freshwater fish are the most peaceful of its kind, and with their inquisitive nature, they benefit well from stimulating décor arrangements. Housing them in a LakeTanganyika biotope setup is advised; giving enough open water for swimming as well as using rocks to form caves for exploration. Dim lighting will encourage the fish do more social activities amidst themselves.

Compatibility
Should only be kept with larger Tetras, Barbs, and Gourami in a community set up that like harder water quality. Ideal tank mates with most Cichlids, especially African Mouthbrooders
Characteristics:
The Synodontis petricola is light brown in color and covered by numerous, irregular dark brown spots. It has smaller ones on its head and ventral region, with white tips and a darker base on the pectoral fins, dorsal fins as well as the anal fin. Its humeral process is trilateral or three sided; it also has gill openings that do not cross over the pectoral fin spine.
Behaviour:
Synodontis Petricola are good-natured and sociable fish that do best when kept in groups of 3-4 or more; if kept singularly, they can be quite cautious, preferring to hide among rocks or caves.If you have appropriately sized rainbowfish, livebearers and water cichlid communities in your tank, Synodontis petricola makes a great tank mate. However it's not advised to house them with fish that are too small for their size as they might be mistaken for food.
Breeding
The Syndontis Petricola are known for their reproduction in aquaria. Whilst they reproduce quite often in open waters, this species is unusual due to the fact that it is one of a few fish who have a breeding method called 'Brood Parasitism'. The Syndontis Petricola time their spawning to coincide with African Mouthbreeders and lay eggs near theirs. As the catfish eggs hatch, young fry consume mouthbrooder's eggs and are protected by unsuspecting cichlids.The most effective way to breed Syndontis Petricola in captivity is to raise the eggs in a separate breeding tank. It is also recommended that adults are removed from the fish tank once they have spawned so as not to eat their own eggs. Spawning of pairs or flocks, ample frozen and live feed should be provided for them.

To keep your Clown Killifish happy, their habitat should be well lit, water parameters excellent, and a gentle current from the filter set. If you give your clown Killies these conditions, they can live for 5 years!
Rocket Killie
Clown Killies are also known as rocket killies and banded panchax. Coming from western Africa, they are found in southern Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The Clown Killifish is a peaceful micro-predator that feeds primarily on tiny flying insects and invertebrates.
😊 Can we expect some clowning around?
Clown Killifish are shy (they are rather small) but they will become more playful when in a group, so expect some interesting schooling behaviour. They even enjoy jumping out of the water for some fun! Make sure to keep their tank lid tightly fitted so that these fish can have as much space as possible to live and play around without the risk of an excursion on the floor.
😊 A unique look
Clown Killifish are also called Rocket Killies because they resemble tiny rockets. In addition, they have torpedo-shaped bodies that help them swim up for food, and they even appear as a fishy clown with round heads and spade-like tails.
😊 Keeping Clown Killifish in the Aquarium
You can choose to house Clown Killies in larger community tanks that are already occupied by other species. The downside is the fish won't reproduce as often if they're placed with another type of inhabitant, so you should know what kind of goal you have for keeping these types of fishes before giving them a home.
😊 Are these fish easy to breed?
If you have a male and female in your tank, don't worry about mating. Just maintain healthy water parameters to keep them alive, and they will breed when it's the right time every month! Clown Killies are prolific parents who can produce up to 25 fry per cycle - twice each month until their population numbers get out of hand!
😊 Feeding your Clown Killies
Clown Killies are carnivores that need a lot of meaty protein, but they can only eat tiny portions. They lay in wait for the insects to land on the water's surface and then eat their prey - or what could be considered for them a tasty meat morsel!
Ideally, in captivity, we can try mimicking what can be in the natural environment: baby brine shrimp 1-2 times a day should do it!
There is advice on other foods on the internet but realistically, sticking with brine shrimp for a treat is good enough and achievable without spending a fortune.

Interesting Facts About The Ramshorn Snails
Overview
Ramshorn Snail is a prevalent aquarium species that plays a significant role in keeping your tank clean. They feed on decayed plants, fish waste, debris, algae buildup, and uneaten fish food. These aquatic snails sneak their way through tanks, hitch themselves and lay eggs to live plants. Depending on the objective, these aquarium tank mates can serve as a helpful cleaner or be a pest.
Compared to other types of snail, Ramshorns require minimal snail care that making them one of the top species in the aquarium trade. As a result, these snails are available to most pet stores nowadays.
Characteristics
Ramshorn snails differ significantly in their appearance. Both its skin and shell can be different in colors, creating numerous color combinations. There are varieties such as common, pink, blue, and red ramshorn snails.
Their typical skin color is either red or black. Red snails have a vibrant color because of their red blood hemoglobins. On the other hand, Black snails have melanin pigment that the red ones don't possess.
Unlike other freshwater snails, Ramshorns don't have an operculum. As a result, these snails are not able to breathe underwater and must breathe air instead.
Ramshorn snails are hermaphrodites that can grow up to 1 inch as they get older. Their average life span is in between 1 to 3 years.
Tank requirements
Ramshorns are solitary and peaceful snails that can quickly adapt to various water conditions.
These freshwater aquarium snails love planted tanks and enjoy stable water quality. However, they are mainly being targeted by aggressive fish, so keeping them with the peaceful ones is necessary.
The ideal tank size should be at least a 5-gallon tank, but it is advisable to upgrade into a 10-gallon tank if you're planning to keep multiple snails.
Water Parameters
Ph Level: 7 - 8
Hardness (GH) : 7 - 15
Carbonate Hardness (KH): 8
Nitrate: Below 20 ppm
Temperature: 70°F – 78°F
Tankmates
More extensive, aggressive fish are mainly targeting ramshorn snails. It ideal keep them with peaceful tankmates like shrimp, clams, friendly snails, gourami, danios, and teras.
Note: Some aggressive snails like the Assassin snail love to devour pond snails, ramshorn snails, and Malaysian trumpet snails.
Feeding
Before anything else, it is vital to be sure that the food you will serve to your snails is copper-free as they could quickly die from it. By any chance, If you cannot avoid putting copper-contained products into your tank, it is highly recommended to transfer the snails to a different aquarium.
Ramshorn snails are can easily be fed, and one of their favorites is algae. They are bound to search for algae all over the tank. They also feast on rotting plants, dead shrimp and fish, uneaten food like pellets and fish flakes.
You can always give them some treats like algae wafers and vegetables like cauliflower, lettuce, cucumber, and squash.
Breeding
all you need to have is at least two of them because ramshorn snails are hermaphrodites, meaning they have sexual organs of both male and female. And because of that, they could quickly breed with any other snail.
These snails lay multiple egg clusters all over the tank. Each group contains an average of 12 eggs. And after few days, the baby snails will be visible from the inside.

Description
Care
Gold Gouramis are a domesticated strain of Blue gourami and are a familiar sight in community set ups. Males are inclined to be rather competitive with one another and show the marbled pattern seen in other forms when at their most assertive. These fish have long been used as a larger accent fish amongst smaller shoaling species and the key to successful cohabitation is to keep them occupied. Although gouramis are often sold as pairs, these are not monogamous fish and males will court females in the knowledge that they'd leave his territory if they weren't interested. In the confines of an aquarium this is not an option, so add multiple females to spread the male's attention. The sexes can be easily distinguished by the shape of their dorsal fin - small and rounded in females, long and pointed in males. As this fish comes in many colour forms such as Blue, Opaline, Three-spot, Gold and White (a very pale strain of gold) these can all be mixed if you so desire. To allow them to avoid one another on occasion, the aquarium should be over 90cm/36" in length, with a good amount of aquatic planting to provide shelter and break the sightlines. Like most gouramis, the hair-like pelvic fins are equipped with taste buds and are used extensively to investigate their environment and one another.
Feeding
An omnivorous species which should be offered a varied diet consisting of a good quality flake food, green flake food, and frozen foods such as mosquito larvae, brineshrimp etc. This species should also be allowed to graze on soft fine-leaved plants.
Breeding
This egg-laying species can be bred successfully in the aquarium. Males build a bubble nest at the waters surface and initiate spawning. As soon as the eggs have been fertilised, the male usually gathers them up and places them in the nest. The female should be removed immediately after spawning has ceased as the male will continually try and drive her away, causing her much stress in the closed environment of an aquarium. The male will tend to the eggs until they hatch and the fry are free-swimming.
The red wagtail platy is a pleasant and peaceful freshwater fish that's both hardy and active. It's also small, pretty, and a great fish for hobbyists of any level; in fact, it's one of the most popular in the fishkeeping industry. You can find platies in several different colors which make for an eye-catching tank. The platy has two goals in life: eating and breeding.

Superior Biological Filtration, Gentle Water Flow, and Reliable Performance.
The Sponge Filter XY2835 is the workhorse of the aquarium world, offering incredibly efficient biological and mechanical filtration with a gentle, fish-safe current. Its dual-sponge design provides a massive surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, making it the ideal choice for breeding tanks, hospital tanks, shrimp tanks, and as a supplemental filter in community aquariums. Simple, effective, and affordable.
Key Features & Benefits:
Massive Bio-Load Capacity: Two large, porous sponges offer an enormous surface area for beneficial bacteria, providing stable and superior biological filtration to break down harmful ammonia and nitrite.
Gentle & Safe Flow: The gentle bubbling action is perfect for delicate fish (like bettas), fry, shrimp, and other creatures that could be stressed or harmed by strong filter intakes.
Dual-Purpose Filtration: The sponges provide both mechanical (traps debris) and biological (hosts bacteria) filtration, keeping your water crystal clear and healthy.
Cost-Effective & Efficient: Operates with a standard air pump, making it one of the most energy-efficient and affordable filtration options available.
Versatile & Reliable: Ideal for a wide range of setups, from 40 to 150-litre tanks (10-40 gallons), and is famously reliable with no moving parts to break.
Product Details:
Product Name: Sponge Filter XY2835
Model: XY2835 (55mm x 48mm)
Recommended Tank Size: 40 - 150 Litres (10 - 40 US Gallons)
Required Equipment: Must be powered by a standard aquarium air pump (sold separately). Includes airline tubing and a suction cup for mounting.
What's Included: 1 x Filter Body, 1 x Sponge Sleeves, 1 x Weighted Base, 1 x Lift Tube.
How To Use:
Connect: Attach one end of the included airline tubing to the uplift tube of the filter and the other end to your air pump.
Place: Submerge the filter completely in your aquarium. Use the weighted base or suction cups to secure it in a corner.
Power: Plug in your air pump. You will see a stream of bubbles rising up the lift tube, which creates the water flow that pulls water through the sponges.
Maintain: Rinse the sponges in a bucket of old tank water during water changes to remove debris. Never rinse them under tap water, as chlorine will kill the beneficial bacteria.
Who is this filter for?
The Sponge Filter XY2835 is the ideal choice for:
Breeders: For fry and shrimp tanks, preventing tiny offspring from being sucked into the filter.
Shrimp Keepers: Provides safe filtration and a constant food source for shrimp as they graze on the sponge.
Betta Owners: Offers gentle flow that won't stress long-finned fish.
Hospital/Quarantine Tanks: Provides instant biological filtration without strong currents.
Community Tanks: Excellent as a supplemental filter to boost biological filtration.
Order with Confidence:
A cornerstone of effective aquarium keeping, this filter is a must-have for hobbyists of all levels.
FAQ Section (Suggested for the product page):
Q: What size air pump do I need for this filter?A: For tanks up to 75L (20 gallons), a standard single-outlet pump is sufficient. For larger tanks (up to 150L/40g), a stronger dual-outlet pump is recommended to ensure adequate flow. The deeper the tank, the stronger the pump needed to push air down.
Q: How do I clean it without killing the good bacteria?A: Always clean the sponge in a bucket of water you have removed from the aquarium during a water change. Gently squeeze the sponge to release trapped waste. Using tap water will chlorine will destroy the beneficial bacteria colony.
Q: Is the current really safe for baby fish and shrimp?A: Absolutely. The water is drawn gently through the porous sponge, making it 100% safe for even the smallest fry and shrimp. There are no intakes or impellers to cause harm.
Q: Can I use this as my only filter?A: Yes, for many setups. It excels in biological filtration. For heavily stocked tanks, it can be used as the primary filter. For tanks that produce a lot of waste, it's best paired with a filter that provides stronger mechanical filtration (like a hang-on-back) to polish the water.

Ancistrus, also known as bushynose or bristlenose catfish, is a genus of nocturnal freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae of order Siluriformes, native to freshwater habitats in South America and Panama. The common Bristlenose is commonly captive bred appears impossible to identify to species primarily due to a lack of original locality information but also because tens of undescribed congeners exist.
Ancistrus species show all the typical features of the Loricariidae. This includes a body covered in bony plates and a ventral suckermouth. The feature most commonly associated with the genus are the fleshy tentacles found on the head in adult males; females may possess tentacles along the snout margin but they are smaller and they lack tentacles on the head. Tentacules, tentacles directly associated with odontodes, develop on the pectoral fin spine of the males of some species.
